What field of view is best for a desk webcam?

A 78 82 degree field of view is ideal for solo desk use, framing your head and shoulders naturally without showing too much of your room. Wider angles (90 110 degrees) work for group calls or whiteboard presentations but can distort your face at close range. Some webcams offer adjustable FOV, letting you crop in digitally. Avoid ultra wide angles unless you specifically need to show a wider scene.
