People will love you much more if you use a real microphone. I have a travel-sized one from RØDE; the difference it made, in how people perceive my voice, is massive - I sound like a professional speaker rather than a geek in the basement. This brought significant reputational advantages.
I also have an UPS under the desk, keeping up the wifi hub in all circumstances; it has a couple of USB charging ports on the front, so I use those with most random things that need charging. For some things I recently started using elbow USB-C connectors, or ones that can bend either way, to tidy up some corners and reduce strain on connectors.
The rest is about ergonomics - screen at the right level, good chair (Aeron, although tbh I miss my previous Mirrah) to avoid back pain, good split keyboard (Kinesis, although I wish i could afford an ergodox) to take away wrist pain (massive difference), that sort of thing.
Yeah when I went full remote I decided to buy both a 4k Webcam (at the time, for job interviews) and a microphone marketed for podcasts, and everybody likes both. I do find people commenting on the background of my apartment more often though lol
I use a logitech brio 4k webcam (only 4k at certain resolutions) with a JLAB Talk Pro Omnidirectional microphone.
I also started recording programming tutorial videos to justify the cost of the microphone
I have a DSLR with video capability, so I bought a HDMI to USB input dongle. Works fine with MS Teams, but for some reason Zoom selects the lowest possible resolution setting which has the wrong aspect ratio and makes me look squished. There's no setting in Zoom to get it to select a different input video mode, and I haven't been successful in getting V4L2 to pretend that the wrong video mode doesn't exist.
The advantage of using a DSLR with a nice big lens is that you can open the aperture up wide, and you'll be the only thing in focus.
The NT-USB. Came with a pop filter and stand. Bought it ages ago and still going, with the only problem being the USB socket at the bottom got a bit loose - my kids abused it when I wasn't there.
