A webcam is a camera through which you can take selfies, capture any image, and make video calls from your laptop or PC. While capturing pictures and Video calling on a  mobile, we use the mobile camera, but doing a video call on the computer is not that efficient because it doesn't provide the camera quality that a mobile camera has.
