OBSBOT Meet SE 1080P 100FPS Webcam for PC, AI Framing Streaming Camera with 1/2.8" Sensor, Beauty Mode, Gesture Control, Staggered HDR, Web Camera for Desktop Computer, Laptop, Meeting.(Space Grey)

Audio is often more important than video, but for a really good priced camera with good quality, I would go with the OBSBOT Meet SE. It's like $60 on Amazon now. https://www.amazon.com/OBSBOT-SE-Framing-Streaming-Computer/dp/B0DQ196WLW/ref=ast_sto_dp_puis?th=1 Since your budget is up to $250, I would use the rest on a good mic. And there I would go for the Røde PodMic USB, it's around $180 on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Versatile-Microphone-Connectivity-Podcasting-Music-Making/dp/B0BQM4TKF7/ref=sr_1_6?crid=3ETEBLKMNREHS&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.Rr2HjxHGEsQEUilJr3dkQkhEwEONBBvoZf3XxpKYCJsn8B8GKXAFSgqeP-PBzCFVD1AiZwxfAGcUcIvOQegsOr20eGD9h1Sk8Yxw13P_u8kHQDFthKLP-zcMMTu47lR86EJtj1MfJxUIRstY9AeJu-oZTD8K7BWg6tm5MxMpYZW3DF3qB1qfjRJh_oX9D2-T1jemcn9mIXpPucPEGqFB7XN2WxJkoiBk4NsDo5KEFLWFwDhTii19fywatpDvRHLPIN53qyLbXpKLEhEdToKtyAFJCCwHDHoWOIQoHrcoLXw.fQJOo-cvcOWiqclPnck2ZM8yVwJLRqB5n296koblwVM&dib_tag=se&keywords=røde%2Bpodmic%2Busb&qid=1781734396&sprefix=røde%2B%2Caps%2C230&sr=8-6&th=1 That leave you with $10 on your $250 budget. If you can go some over the budget, get an arm for the mic, this is kinda needed anyway. And get a some kind of video light for when you stream.

Beam Eye Tracker and an OBSMeet webcam. https://beam.eyeware.tech/ https://a.co/d/09W4KulW It takes some configuring and not every game supports it. Raceroom and LMU are the ones I currently have it configured for.
