Re:Why can’t you buy a good webcam? by GordonS on Tuesday December 22, 2020 @08:49AM (#25506201)
I have my desk in front of a window, facing the window. I keep the blind about halfway down though, because the glare makes be squint at the monitor uncomfortably.

The other option would be to not face the window, but then you have bright daylight shining onto your monitors instead.

Also a bright window behind you plays badly with some webcams automatic lighting adjust (including the logitech ones recommended here). It should just let the window be overexposed/blown out but it prefers to adjust the brightness such that that is reasonably lit with the effect of making the foreground look like I'm in a dark room.
