In the past couple of years, we have witnessed numerous intelligent products – audio, watch, etc. However, the webcam is still the same, low quality. Jabra revolutionised the space with its new intelligent AI-enabled Panacast 20. The first consumer-focused webcam from Jabra is significantly more affordable than the conference room-focused other PanaCast devices.

Build and features

The PanaCast 20 looks like a pillbox that feels solid and is made out of metal. This is the first webcam that comes with a unique design and metal casing that also works as a heat sink for the camera. It holds a 4k lens and microphone pinholes on the left and right. There is another pinhole for the third mic on the top of the textured chassis. It comes with a small sliding switch on the bottom edge that works as a privacy cover. The webcam comes with a USB-C port that faces down on the bottom panel, near the back.

The flat design camera has a monitor clip, a square metal arm that flips down from the bottom of the chassis. The metal clip lets you fix the webcam on any screen, however, the arm doesn’t rotate farther back and the front lip is fairly shallow and wide, so the webcam feels less stable on thicker monitors.

PanaCast 20 comes with a zip-up case that securely holds the webcam and the USB cable which is fairly long around 1 meter.
