The short answer is no. In most cases, having a webcam with a resolution higher than 1080p is unnecessary. If your only use is attending video conferences, the resolution isn’t the most important factor. You should be more concerned with image processing and lens quality, aspects that you can only know about by watching reviews and sample footage of different webcams to gauge their image quality and make an informed choice. However, Higher resolutions certainly help with content creation. They allow you more flexibility to adjust the frame after shooting without much quality loss.
