Overview

The OBSBOT Meet 2 is absurdly small. Mounted on a monitor, it's barely visible — a slim rectangle that disappears behind the bezel like a slightly oversized webcam cover. Yet somehow this tiny device captures 4K video with AI auto-framing, gesture controls, HDR, and background effects. It's the kind of engineering miniaturization that makes you wonder what the larger webcams in this roundup are doing with all that extra space.

The secret is that OBSBOT focused on what matters for seated video calls: a good sensor, smart software, and a form factor that doesn't demand attention. There's no gimbal, no ring light, no mechanical parts — just excellent image processing packed into the smallest body possible.

Features Deep-Dive

Ultra-Compact 4K Sensor

The Meet 2 captures at full 3840x2160 resolution from a sensor barely larger than a fingernail. The image is noticeably sharper than 1080p webcams, with accurate color science that renders skin tones naturally rather than with the orange cast some webcams introduce. HDR mode handles mixed lighting well — if you sit near a window, the camera balances your face against the bright background better than most competitors at this price. The trade-off for the tiny form factor is sensor size: in low light, the Meet 2 produces more noise than larger-sensor cameras like the Logitech MX Brio.

AI Auto-Framing and Gesture Controls

The same AI engine powering OBSBOT's more expensive cameras drives the Meet 2's digital tracking. Auto-framing keeps you centered as you shift in your chair, lean forward, or turn to the side. Gesture controls let you zoom in and out hands-free. The digital tracking crops from the 4K sensor, so you retain solid image quality even when zoomed in — something that 1080p cameras with digital tracking can't match. The tracking speed and responsiveness are tunable through OBSBOT Center.

OBSBOT Center Software

OBSBOT Center is genuinely one of the best webcam companion apps available. Granular control over exposure, white balance, saturation, sharpness, and noise reduction. Scene presets for different lighting conditions. Background blur and replacement effects processed on-device. Firmware updates that regularly add features. The software elevates the Meet 2 from a good webcam to a great one — it's where the "smart" in smart webcam lives.

Pricing Analysis

At $129, the Meet 2 sits at the entry point of the mid-range tier and represents exceptional value. It matches or exceeds the 4K image quality of the EMEET S600L ($80) while adding vastly superior AI features and software. Compared to the Insta360 Link 2C ($150) and Razer Kiyo V2 ($150), the Meet 2 delivers comparable image quality with better AI tracking for $20 less. The only thing you're giving up versus pricier competitors is sensor size for low-light performance. For anyone who primarily takes calls in a reasonably lit room, the Meet 2 is arguably the best value in the mid-range.

Who Is This For?

OBSBOT Meet 2 works best for:

• Minimalists and aesthetic-conscious users who want a high-quality webcam that doesn't visually dominate their monitor — the Meet 2's near-invisible form factor is unmatched
• Remote professionals who take back-to-back video calls and need reliable 4K quality with smart framing without fussing with manual camera adjustments
• Laptop users who dock at a desk — the tiny size makes it easy to leave permanently mounted on an external monitor without it looking like an afterthought

Who Should NOT Use This

OBSBOT Meet 2 might not be the right choice if:

• You work in a dimly lit room — the tiny sensor struggles when light drops below typical office levels. The EMEET S600L's ring light or the Logitech MX Brio's large sensor handle low light significantly better
• You need to move around during calls — without a physical gimbal, the Meet 2 relies entirely on digital cropping for tracking. For presentations where you walk to a whiteboard, the OBSBOT Tiny SE ($99) or Insta360 Link 2 ($200) with physical gimbals are better choices

Bottom Line

The OBSBOT Meet 2 is a marvel of miniaturization — 4K resolution, AI features, and HDR packed into a webcam smaller than most USB drives. The image quality punches well above its tiny size, and the OBSBOT Center software is excellent. The best compact webcam on the market.

FAQ

How small is the OBSBOT Meet 2 really?

The camera measures roughly 48mm x 30mm x 26mm — about the size of two stacked USB drives. When mounted on a monitor bezel, it protrudes less than an inch. People on video calls frequently don't notice it at all, and in person it blends into the monitor frame. If webcam aesthetics matter to you, nothing else comes close to this level of discreteness.

Does the small size affect image quality?

In good lighting, no — the 4K output is sharp and detailed, competitive with much larger webcams at this price. In low light, yes — the physically small sensor can't gather as much light as the larger sensors in cameras like the Logitech MX Brio or Insta360 Link 2C Pro. If your office has decent lighting (a desk lamp or overhead light), you won't notice a difference. In dim rooms, you will.

Is the OBSBOT Meet 2 worth $50 more than the EMEET S600L?

For most users, yes. The AI tracking is dramatically better, the software is leagues ahead, the build quality is superior, and the ultra-compact design is unique. The EMEET S600L wins on pure 4K value and has the ring light, but the Meet 2 is a fundamentally more refined product. The $50 gap buys you meaningfully better daily experience.
