yes mom i need this for zoom
Zoom gang
Discord online class
Me: I don’t know the camera look a bit blurry.
Also me: watching in 360p Res
lmfaooo
HAHA same, 480p and i was like... ok, this looks like sheeet.
@@ViezeVingertjes same till i saw this coment haha
Feel this so much hahaha 😂😂
If i am being honest, i've had mine for a few years now and I am not thrilled with the quality. I'm actually going to buy a new webcam today lol
I'm new to zooming and just ordered a Razer Kiyo. Thanks so much for posting your review and instructions!
No problem, good luck!
I was about to buy this at Target, and now this video has me sold. I'm getting it now!
The idea about webcam with built in ring light is super awesome... because now a days ring light is must have tools for everyone
Great review. Thank you for going through the menu setup and the side-by-sides.
AND you read my mind about what you are using...so thank you for that list.
omg such a great review! totally gunna buy one 🥳
This video is really good you deserve so much more than 150k!!
Thank you!
if I had glasses, seeing the ring in my lenses would bug the bell outta me so much 😭
What usb port did you use to run this kiyo my webcam is detected by synapse and the microphone works but i got no video feedback from it and tried to install different drivers from windows 11 and camera privacy settings are all good and still same issue the problem I've got no usb 2.0 on my pc only 3.0 and 3.1
Can i adjust it completely downwards for a keyboard cam?
Hey do you know how to test the built on microphone , have it connected to my series x and while it works on twitch It doesn't pic up the built in microphone
Great review. I have the C930e but planning to purchase Kiyo.
Just bought this today. I think it's going to be a welcome upgrade from my laptop 720. Thanks for the review!
Really glad you found my review helpful, let me know how you get on!
@@JackWoodhams will do. it arrives in a few days and i'll be sure to report back here
I’m so as
@@chrisfinster1346 you never reported back
@@christosbinos8467Right😂😂
Lying ass
With the ringlight, doesn't it suck to have to look into the light all the time?
i just bought it and im just waiting on it and based on this review. this is more than sufficient for wat i need. glad im buying it!
btw I never had any meetings using more than 480p and mostly around 360p. So the question maybe is this webcam good on a lower ratio than 720p?
Which monitor do you use? Would like to get an idea about the overhang, if the Kiyo would work with the bezels on an LG 27GL850
i cant rotate my camera for the brightness, its kinda stuck or something, Help?
I notice you may zoom in and also zoom out using another device. Is this true and how do I do this?
Anyone have any solutions? I have the same camera and software for it, but the fov slider daoesnt appear any solutions?
Which camera did you use at the end of the video?
Thanks for this. I’m in the market for a webcam for live streams and was looking at this one. Thanks for this x
No problem! Enjoy
What webcam do you use currently? And would you still recommend this webcam?
what are you recording your videos with?
great vid, I liked how thorough you were and I'm subbed now
Thank you so much 🙌
great review. in depth and to the point. also, i see the canon ae-1 :)
Thanks for the review I was looking at the cam at work and I just my buy it due to this review I’m not a hard core streamer but it would be worth it
finally a decent microphone on a good webcam! Thanks for the review (and thanks for showing the microphone, because most people that review a webcam never shows the microphone)
+1 like
Thank you!
Would have liked to see how the zoom worked
I'm the 300th like on this amazing video! It helped me a lot to know how to change the FPS to 60, thanks!
Thanks so much! Glad you found it helpful!
what webcam do you use
Will it be OK on a gaming laptop
Awesome review !
It’s a lot bigger than I expected! It’s got great quality! I was using a Logitech C90 for years and I swore up and down by it! But I had to Gerry Rig a ring light to it for streaming and it looked really trashy. This camera looks a lot more sleek and works just as well (maybe better) as the C90!
What? In the test, in a well lit room (1st example) the light and colors look way better with the ring light off. The black levels are way better without the ring light and only natural light.
Maybe better to tweak in the software using natural light instead of making everything overexposed and then trying to reduce the exposure
I am getting this soon thank you for the review it let's me know I picked the correct budget option👍🏻 you got my sub lol
Amazing! So glad you liked it :D
Really good review man keep up the good work
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it.
It did bother me a bit that in low light, moving your hands even a slight bit caused a refocus
Thank you for review, brilliant.
nice presentation. I ended up ordering one...
Would like to see you review the elgato face cam
I liked the fact that you reviewed it using synapse. I didn't know that you need streaming software to change fps thanks for pointing it out. Also if you listen carefully its mic sounds noisy. What are your thoughts on that?
I'm fairly certain that noise it my desktop fans being picked up, as they're rotating right next to it. Maybe even my GPU coil whine lmao.
nice video, thank you, you helped me make the purchase decision :)
I'm trying to find one that doesn't make the glare in my glasses.
You this would be good for music covers? Obviously I have an audio interface so I wouldn’t use the webcam mic. But if I wanted to use it to record, you think it’ll hold up?
No reason why it wouldn't be ok!
Amazing review! Thank you :)
Glad you enjoyed it :)
Does it support ps5?
Thank you great review! Subscribed :)
Thanks so much Fabio!
Thanks man for the video, you re a G
I know im asking for much but what kind of moniter , keyboard , mouse , and mic your setup is so cool and also you earned a sub :D
I'll do a set up end of 2020 video!
Thank you, def using it for zoom and also maybe for streaming if I do end up deciding to add a face cam instead of hand cam
It's honestly the ideal webcam 👍
What are your TH-cam videos shot using? The quality is night and day compared to something like this (which i have myself)
Sony a7iii 😀
is there an option to set manual focus or any 3rd party software that can do this?
Yep you can do this in the software advanced settings, focus will be checked to "auto" just uncheck it and adjust the slider.
Not going to lie I'm looking at one for my stream and watching this video helps
Why did you turn green when the ring light went off? Was it you base unit lamp?
RGB light from my PC!
what was the one u used to rec when u werent reviewing? was that also the kiyo
No I was using the Gh5 for b-roll
I take it this can be used at 16:9 resolution? Saw some people saying online it’s only 4:3
Yes it can be used at 16;9
Dumb question. If i stream in 1080p at 60fps would the webcam be in 60fps too?
You'd have to set the webcam to 720p 60fps
what do you use in the clips that aren't using the cam
This was the Panasonic gh5 at the time
How do you get rid of the feedback between the two mics?
Not sure what you mean? I'd say disable one.
At 9:03. Is the Razer Kiyo the one on the right you didn't label them and I'm a tad confused. Trying to find a cheap camera with a light built in.
Razer on the left. Thought it was obvious from my hair.. 😂
@@JackWoodhams I'm not very observant don't worry 😂
can you adjust the ring light from the software?
Not that I can remember, it's all manual
Can you record videos on it or is it only used for live streaming?
Not directly on the camera. You'd have to use software like OBS
i like that nehza wallpaper.
For people looking to buy the Kiyo (not the pro), dont. It has a lot of issues,mine just died randomly out of nowhere after using it for just over 6 months. I googled the issue and there are tonnes of posts with the same problem. The light starts flickering and stays permanently on and the camera just stops being recognized by the windows or the razer synapse. Like it just dies or fries itself. I tried reinstalling firmware,updating software,nothing works.
This a great channel and a great review
Thank you so much!!!
Hey nice review
I got one today from sale, but thinking about sending it back. I watched your Video after instaling, bcus the grain (visual noise) is massive on mine and i wanted to look if it is for everyone or mentioned in reviews. But yours looks so much better than my picture.
Could that be faulty hardware or what could that be?
Better overall lighting conditions maybe?
@@JackWoodhams Thx for the reply
I tested with all light options, grain stays the same. In your Video it looks good, almost no noise, even only with the ringlight.
Have to test it on the Laptop, otherwise it might be a hardware defect. Like with Monitors from time to time, missing pixels or color missmatch fresh out of production.
I thought the Logitech Streamcam Image was fine. The colours appeared balanced and solid. The Razer gives you a washed-out tone and appearance of your face that seems to use by default. I'm sure that can be improved though.
great webcam really recommend
Turn off the green LEDs. It messes with the lighting.
Do you recommend a canon camera for streaming?
Personally I'm a Sony guy 🌝
wait were you using the microphone when doing the test ?
Yep
Thanks for this. Very useful. Which tripod you use with it?
It's a Zomei tripod but it's no on Amazon anymore.
What camera/webcam did you use to record this video test? I want that :)
The Panasonic GH5 😀
@@JackWoodhams ever so slightly more expensive 😁. Great quality though!
Does it work with stream labs OBS ??
Yes, any camera would
hey Jack good review think this is still worth it in 2022 ? its on amazon for 60 bucks
100% still one of the better webcams I've tried
@@JackWoodhams appreciate your expertise and reply , keep it up ✊🏼
I noticed at 2:56 that there is a "Camera Control" tab that you didn't cover. What controls are available there? Digital zoom, cropping, etc.? Thanks
Hey Ron, you can adjust zoom, focus, exposure, pan, tilt and low light compensation!
@@JackWoodhams - Great - I'm gonna give it a try. Thanks!
Amazon will be seeing me right now lol. Great review.
Thanks so much! Lots more videos to come ☺️
Bruv what are you using from 6:00 on? The footage looks so good 👌🏼
My main studio camera? That was the Gh5 back then..but I use the Sony A7III now
@@JackWoodhams Yeah I meant camera and lens haha
@@TechWithBruno the Gh5 and the 12-40mm f/2. However I think my videos look much better now 🧐
Does this webcam work streaming on twitch on xbox one?
Can't say for sure, didn't try it for that
@@JackWoodhams okay man cheers
Can you use your mic with it?
Yeah, just use Razer for video, your mic for the system mic.
what cam are you using? it looks way better.
Panasonic GH5
is the razer kiyo product already had the bootleg or knock off version?
What 😭🤣
@@JackWoodhams no, i mean seriously i asked because there is someone on marketplace who sell this item under the official price on razer's website. so i wonder why, and because i know there is few item like razer hammerhead that has a OEM version.
@@jodysugiarto really have no idea what you mean. Just buy it from razer or a reputable store?
I've just watched this video as I'm thinking of getting a new webcam to replace my Logitech C920, I was wondering why your face was very green without the ring light switched on?
The LED RGB light in my PC!
@@JackWoodhams Oh ok thanks for the reply.
This does not change the fact that in Antarctica there are 21 million penguins and in Malta there are 502,653 inhabitants. So if the penguins decide to invade Malta, each Maltese will have to fight 42 penguins.
will this work on the xbox
No idea sorry!
does this one work for streamlabs OBS?
Not used it with Streamlabs but it's just picked up by Windows as a webcam so I can't see why it wouldn't!
@@JackWoodhams okey nice! ive just started streaming and im looking for the "best" cam for a newbie streamer. im streaming in a lowlight room. happy for answer!
@@Humlesnurr then the Kiyo is 100% worth picking up, the low light performance is brilliant
@@JackWoodhams okey nice! have you tried the logitech c920? and if u have, wich one of those would you recomend? is it anoying to have that ring light infront of u? (sry for the english im a swede)
@@Humlesnurr ive not but my friend has it and we did compare on Discord, the c920 was noticeably more grainy so the Kiyo performed better from what we could tell. No issues with the ring light, you don't really notice it.
I can tell u that the auto focus is too good... my friend basically put this in his mouth(don't ask why) with the light on and it was so sharp for a webcam
Lmfao
What camera are you using yourself? Looks crisp af!
this was shot on the Gh5 but i now have the Sony A7III
Man you idea of well-lit is very different from mine... this ring light looks terrible at maximum brightness
Well lit compared to not lit
i got this for 50$ for my streams 😍 and i can’t wait for it to arrive
I have it it be moving slow mo
will this work with Twitch?
Of course yes!
would this be like the best option for console streaming?
I recently got one and i think it's awesome for the price
apparently the colors are off, and there are grains on low light, the c920 looks better imo (I rlly wanted that kiyo :( )
apparently? Where have you seen this?
@@JackWoodhams I watched other review videos but I am not sure if it's true, that's why I said apparently
@@ReadyToFlyyy the Kiyo is much much better in low light. Colour can be tweaked as well.
thanks
No problem!
thank you
The Razer software didn’t start for me, but I gave up on Windows back when XP was still top line.
I’ve been super happy with it. Good build quality, excellent video, and the ring light is great.
The only negative is the microphone, which is far too weak. But since I have some music recording gear in my closet....
if you are still using the cam, razer synapse now works on mac books as well :)
@@aleks_moldi
Thanks. Will check it out.
this webcam 60 usd right now
and not bad at all
