You just need a wide angle lens, so it can be mounted on the desk without needing more space. I recommend anything between 16mm to 24mm focal length lens (based on 35mm equivalent). Using DSLR or mirrorless camera as webcam on desk is done by many, especially by Twitch streamers, Youtubers, and Zoomers who want quality video. Also check out EposVox (Youtuber) who has a great setup with such a small amount of space. He has great video and tips on such setup.

> You just need a wide angle lens, so it can be mounted on the desk without needing more space. The issue was physical mounting room for the tripod, not focal length. When I did try using my Canon, I actually didn't use the widest setting on my lens. A 16mm equivalent lens would've given everyone a really nice view of my closet, which isn't something I want to do. > Using DSLR or mirrorless camera as webcam on desk is done by many, especially by Twitch streamers, Youtubers, and Zoomers who want quality video. As I said below, those are groups that are willing to make tradeoffs for extremely high video quality, especially streamers and youtubers as that's their job. For the rest of us however, the tradeoffs are probably not worth it.
