Specialized webcams that support Windows Hello are still, surprisingly, rare. Microsoft’s secure-login system using fingerprint, biometric, and facial recongnition technology is, after all, a unique feature of Windows 10. It makes sense users would want to pair a desktop PC or older laptop with a Windows Hello-compatible camera in order to get its convenient security benefits.
You might think that Microsoft’s just-announced Modern Webcam would be an option, but, alas, it offers no Windows Hello support! That omission is even weirder given that Microsoft’s upcoming Windows 10 21H1 release prioritizes external, Windows Hello-enabled webcams over the integrated laptop camera. It seems like Microsoft missed an opportunity that other camera vendors snapped up.

Advertisement If you’re stuck working from home, chances are you’ve stumbled across at least a few examples of bad lighting when dialling in to important conference calls. Whether it’s the lack of natural light, or you’re backlit sat in front of a window, you might be thinking about upgrading from your grainy laptop webcam in an effort to boost your visuals.
With support for HDR streaming and a bevy of visual customisation options, the new Razer Kiyo Pro could be just the ticket if your lighting conditions aren’t up to scratch. However, with a sky-high price and a 1080p resolution limit, is the Razer Kiyo Pro worth the added cost, or should you save your money and buy a budget webcam instead?
