Does anyone here use an external computer camera with a light that they love? Sometimes the lighting in my home office can be pretty bad for video conference calls, especially when it’s cloudy or getting dark outside.

Look up Reincubate Camo. Once you use your smartphone as your Zoom camera, you'll wonder why you bothered with the laptop camera. Ended up getting a small desktop tripod with a phone mount to complete the rig. It is light years ahead of the laptop camera without spending more than maybe $100 between a small tripod and software.

It's worth asking. If it's a no, then any higher end commercial webcam will outperform the laptop cam. But honestly, your phone will easily outperform the webcams by a long shot.

Highly recommend the Razor Kiyo. Has built in Ring light and great quality. If you're going to use the thing frequently, worth buying something decent.

Home office preference question. I am getting ready to redo the layout of my home office. One option I'm considering would have my desk facing a wall. I am wondering if anyone with this current setup has any feedback about it. I would face the wall so that I would have a better background for video conferences (am on about half the day) and also my cord situation would be cleaner.

A nice comfortable office chair.

https://ergochair.co/collections/chairs/products/ergonomics-mesh-chair-w-adjustable-headrest-and-armrest?variant=32511617597491

My criteria: mesh seat and back, arms, headrest

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.
