The Insta360 Link 2 is a plug-and-play device that will work seamlessly with the majority of standard video calling and streaming apps. I tested it with FaceTime, Teams, OBS, Discord, and more, all without encountering any issues. But it’s worth installing the Insta360 Link Controller companion desktop app too as it allows you to delve into the Link 2’s options, from adjusting frame rate, resolution, camera orientation, and image and audio settings to engaging software-based features such as AI tracking, background bokeh (blurring), and even live virtual make-up application. If you want to look like a goth in Zoom meetings, this thing has you covered.

In addition to person-tracking, Link 2 also features the same Whiteboard and Overhead modes as its predecessor. The former spots whiteboards or similar rectangular objects in the camera’s field of view and frames them perfectly, allowing you to share your notes and diagrams with colleagues. Overhead mode points the Link 2 directly down from its perch toward your desk, for the purpose of sharing documents or objects there.

I think Insta360 has done a solid job with the Link 2, retaining almost all of the appeal of the original model while reducing the price and making small improvements here and there. And as such, I have no hesitation adding it to WIRED’s Best Webcams guide. There’s no spectacular leap forward here—just a reassured step in the right direction—and I don’t think there’s much point in upgrading to the newer model if you already own the original.

But anyone hunting for a highly capable, easy-to-use webcam for work meetings or streaming will get more than their money’s worth here. Its video and audio quality is excellent, it slots seamlessly into all the most popular apps and services, and it offers useful features like tracking and noise cancellation. It’s hard to think of a better webcam at the price.

NB: While I haven’t yet tested it myself, Insta360 has launched another webcam alongside the Link 2. The Insta360 Link 2C is almost identical in terms of specs and features, but removes the gimbal completely, resulting in a slightly less mobile but more compact webcam that’s a little cheaper in price (around $149).
