+1 for the C920.

Got lucky and got one before the prices of webcams went crazy due to pandemic demand. Think they are back to around ~£60 now.

It just works. Plugged it in, picked up within macOS without a problem, immediately usable in Google Meet. Picture is fine, audio is fine. No complaints.

Are you actually using the webcam microphone? And does it normally work well for you?

Yes, works fine. I'm not sure what it's optimal audio pickup area is, but perched atop my screen ~50cm away from my mouth, I have no issues.
