This one comes with a camera, but it is a fantastic camera / mic for zoom. You don't say what budget means to you but this is not expensive to me. People frequently comment on just how good my audio is. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08931JJLV/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_XZ84E7GYM1K7RW7Z7QM8?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
I didn't want to keep using my phone for spelltable so I bought this webcam and like it. Autofocus is a nice feature my other webcam was missing

Compared to my DSLR with clean HDMI, it looks better somehow.
I just bought a nexigo webcam off Amazon and it's way better than the Avermedia cam I had purchased from Costco. This one has auto focus which helps a lot.
I have also used the Droid cam app (worth paying the $5 for upgraded version) to use my phone as a web cam but I don't like tying up my cell as a camera if I start getting texts during a game.

Thanks. I was in the same boat with webcam last month - none of my Logitech backorders fulfilled (till day). I settled with this one, similarly priced as yours, and I think it's one of the best video quality webcams I've come across:

Works with Mac and doesn't have the autofocus issues you mentioned. Now Im thinking of canceling my Logitech backorders. Cheers!
or check out the brands amazon page here, they have cheaper 1080 cams but i havent used them
My cam was easy set up, autofocus is a little wonky but theres a lot of colors and stuff in my background, so it could b my fault. I dont recommend this if u plan on using the mic on it because its not very high quality, but thats to be expected of budget webcams. only comes with a clip attachment to mount it, but they have stands you can buy separately if needed
