it's a 1080p, but it's hardly new, got it in 2013. i've thought about getting an actual video camera but i don't know how to go about hooking it up to function as a webcam (you know, streaming function). i'm also relying on the webcam's little mic, which is not great. i don't super want a condenser or something obscuring me (cause i mean, cam girl, not podcast girl), and i also typically have music playing, so i'm always concerned about the mic picking up the music and playing and i've had trouble finding a software solution to direct audio through separate devices (ideally, it'd be great to have music running to the stream and an ear piece, and use one of those little bitty mics something like this to keep the music off of the mic but still be able to hear it. guess i need to look more into mixing software or something, idk.
