Why can’t you buy a good webcam?

I use a similar setup with a Panasonic GH5 I already had, but I bought one of those €15 Chinese HDMI capture USB UVC cards [1]. These work surprisingly well, and I've had zero issues using them for ~4 hours back-to-back Zoom meetings on my MBP. They've also received some good reviews on YouTube [2].

For audio, I use my Airpods. Great setup for meetings. Latency is good enough IMO.

Panasonic released a (beta) webcam software this year. It supports the GH5 and works well. Give it a try, it's free.

It's available for Windows and macOS. The Mac version seems to have more issues with various apps than the Windows version at the moment.
