Logitech c920 Webcam test and review: Video transcript

Hey, I’m Sara Nguyen, and on this channel I make tech and social media easier for awesome entrepreneurs like yourself. If you’re new to this channel, consider subscribing for all of the latest product reviews, tips, and tutorials. And at any time during this video, check out the description for links to all of the resources mentioned in this video.

The Logitech C920 Webcam was first released back in January 2012, which is kind of like dog years in the world of tech, but it still is an extremely popular webcam. It plugs into the USB port of your PC or Mac.

At the time of this recording, it’s about $50 US dollars on Amazon, making it a relatively cheap webcam for recording Full HD 1080p video on your webcam. The Logitech C920 has this folding arm that allows you to attach it to the top of your computer or your laptop easily.

It also has a rubber grip so that it holds in place and it doesn’t slip. You’re also able to adjust the angle of the webcam by tilting it slightly back and forth like that as well. The webcam also has built-in dual stereo microphones with automatic noise reduction.

It also has automatic low light correction as well. There’s a quarter inch thread at the bottom of the webcam that allows you to attach it to a standard tripod so you can get some extra height if you needed to. So all of these combined together, makes the Logitech C920 a great little webcam for recording HD footage for live streaming or for online video. Let’s have a look at some comparative footage now.

So here’s what it looks like and sounds like using the inbuilt camera and the inbuilt microphone of my MacBook. So as you can see, the sound isn’t really amazing and the video in all honesty is not too bad, but it could be better.

So here’s what it looks like and sounds like using the Logitech C920 webcam, and also the microphone of the webcam as well. As you can see, the quality of the video is much better on the webcam than it was from my computer’s inbuilt webcam and the sound is different as well.

I typically would use an external microphone as opposed to a device’s microphone and I would use the RØDE NT-USB microphone to get crisper quality sound. But here’s the video, so you can compare the video quality and the sound quality of the webcam. So here is some footage shot in low light using the inbuilt camera of my computer, so you can see what it looks like without any low light correction.

And here’s what it looks like using the Logitech C920 in low light, utilizing the low light correction of the webcam.

So there you have it, my review and test of the Logitech C920 Webcam, arguably one of the best little webcams for recording online video.

If you found this video useful, give me a thumbs up and don’t forget to subscribe to my channel.

And if you’re looking for more ways to grow your business using online video such as Facebook live, having a great little webcam is just one part of the equation. You also need to figure out what to say, what equipment you need, and how to bring it all together in a cohesive strategy.

So I’ve put together a Facebook Live Cheat Sheet. It’s a super simple guide to get you up and streaming on Facebook live even if you’ve never hit record before. To get your hands on it, simply click on the link in the description below and thanks for watching.

Wow, it feels so good to be back and creating cont Wow, it feels so good to be back and creating content for my YouTube channel again! I’m excited to share all the insights I’m learning along with the new training and tutorials to help you grow with video for your business.
My 3 takeaways which are also handy if you’re just getting started with your YouTube journey:
Be gentle with yourself - it will feel a bit rusty at first. Choose topics you know you can create quickly and go easy on yourself.
Block out the time and commit to it - focus more on the time than the end product, and you’ll get there eventually.
Have fun - creating content should be an enjoyable experience, so make sure you have fun with it!

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✨The key to success ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨The key to success on YouTube is to make videos that people want to watch.✨
And finding the balance between topics people are searching for and what you actually want to create videos about is the art of YouTube. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How do you uncover the topics to create videos about?
Keyword research is how. 
Trust me, this is something that your future YouTube self will thank you for when you create videos that actually get views AND that lead to sales for you! 🙏🏼
And it's not as complicated or scary as you may think it is.
1. Use my top recommended tool: KeywordsEverywhere. It's super affordable and easy to use.
2. Download and install the KeywordsEverywhere Chrome extension. Once installed, set up the plug-in and add some credit($10 is plenty to get you started).
3. Start entering topics in the search bar for videos you want to create. 
4. Look at the "Search volumes" that KeywordsEverywhere reveals. This is where the magic is. You want to go for keywords that have >1000 searches per month. 
5. Look at the "Related searches" for more keyword ideas and keep refining. 
6. Check out Askthepublic.com to help generate more keyword ideas and see the search volumes. 
Following these steps will ensure that your YouTube videos are successful data-validated topics. 💃🏽💃🏽
But this is just one part of the equation (so much math! LOL). 
You need a system that will help you turn your YouTube videos into reliable sales...
So check out my YouTube Masterclass where I'll walk you through exactly how to make it happen. 
Snatch your spot at the link in bio. xX
Do you want to make YouTube videos (and an income Do you want to make YouTube videos (and an income from them) but aren't sure where to start? 🤯🤔
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'll break down some of the most important aspects for you.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Step 1 - Before you start filming your video, do some research to make sure people are actually searching for it.
Step 2 - Take the time to script it out or create a list of bullet points.
Step 3 - Decide what style you want the video to be. A talking-head video is completely fine and often simplest. Create a list of shots you need to take.
Step 4 - Choose a day and block out a few hours to record.
Step 5 - Hit Record! Film your video content (or Go live!)
Step 6 - Edit your video, either do it yourself or outsource it. 
Step 7 - Upload your video and optimise it for YouTube search
Step 8 - Release your video.
Step 9 - Promote your video (in non-spammy ways).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Getting clear on this process will help you understand realistic time requirements and identify which areas you can outsource. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But this is only the video creation aspect of things. How do you go from having a YouTube video to generating money? It doesn't work by magic; you'll need a focused plan to make it happen. I go deeper into what's needed in my YouTube Masterclass. Link in bio. ✨

I love creating videos for YouTube and the YouTube I love creating videos for YouTube and the YouTube experience. But I also believe that there needs to be balance and that YouTube (or anything for that matter) shouldn't occupy every second of your life. 
.
.
.
A few subscribers have called me out about not releasing consistently on my YouTube channel and that's true. I haven't released lots of videos for a little while...however, I made the choice to pause YouTube whilst I prioritise looking after my newborn baby. 
.
.
.
And I think we need to normalise taking a break and not being "on" 24/7. 
.
.
.
Whether you need to do it for your own mental health, or physical health, or because you've had a big life change. Or just because you want/need to.
.
.
.
I want to encourage you to not feel guilty about taking a side step on YouTube and in your business. It's part of the road to success and doesn't mean that your journey has ended. 
.
.
.
So, take care of yourself, okay?
xoxox.

If you're trying to grow your YouTube channel it's If you're trying to grow your YouTube channel it's not getting the views and subscriber growth that you want...here are my 💎💎 💎Top 9 things you can do to grow your YouTube channel💎💎 💎
.
.
.
1️⃣ Get honest feedback and listen to the suggestions. Ask three to five people that you know and trust. Send them a video and ask them to give you specific feedback on how you can improve. 
.
.
.
2️⃣ Consider adding educational content. I would always recommend adding educational types of videos. And these are things like how to training, step by step tutorials and you need to make sure that these videos have actual traffic. 
.
.
.
3️⃣ The YouTube algorithm loves consistency. Whether that’s weekly, twice a week, monthly. It’s all about what can you handle and how are you going to manage it. Showing up consistently, whatever that looks like for you. 
.
.
.
4️⃣ What's your video frequency? After being consistent, how often are you releasing videos? 
.
.
.
5️⃣ How are you delivering your content? Check your voice projection, your pronunciation, your pace of speaking. 
.
.
.
6️⃣ Visuals...how are you showing up How does does your video look aesthetically?
.
.
.
7️⃣ How is your video sound quality? Is it clear? Do you have lots of background noise? Is the background music too loud?
.
.
.
8️⃣Ask for the sub, but give people a reason to. Don't beg for subs (or anything for that matter).
.
.
.
9️⃣ Take imperfect action.
Keep going even if you don't feel it's good enough. The more videos you create, the better you will get at the process and the more your channel will grow.
