Regarding the point about audio, sometimes computer microphones do you dirty and distort the sound on their end so there's feedback or you sound grainy. I always use this speaker for conference calls whenever I don't use headphones.
There are buttons on top to easily adjust the volume too, so you're not banging on your keyboard to adjust it and the volume bar doesn't cover your screen.
Plus, I like putting the speaker close to me if I don't have other colleagues on the call next to me, to minimize my tendency to yell my words into the laptop hoping they can hear me (plus all my yelling due to my nervous energy).
For the budget conscious. Estimated costs for this project assuming there is a computer of sufficient power is ~$281. This will give a live interface to record the sessions.
OBS Studio for the software. Refer to this page for minimum specs for the PC check youtube for tutorial videos. It can stream to Twitch, youtube, as well as record local. Plus later on you can add the cards and pilot data as an overlay.
Grab an HP C920 or your favorite webcam. You can use multiple web cams if you want a mat+dice multiview output. There are many creative ways to mount the camera above the mat.
For general audio a Jabra 510 speakerphone is fantastic and will grab all audio in a 10-13 ft radius. For commentator audio, a blue yeti is a great start.
Those three items will get you started and provide enough quality to run for a bit. You are welcome to substitute items but that is a solid package. For edit later and post a gopro is a simple reliable package.
Sorry for the delay - I use the stock camera that comes with the unit and then a wireless Jabra speaker (synced to laptop) to broadcast across large rooms:

Edit: The Chromebox setup that I use comes with a stock camera and a Wired Jabra speaker (similar to the above wireless speaker). I connect that with a USB 3.0 extension cable so that the wired speaker can be moved across the room / conference table if needed.
We got one of these devices.
For the mic, use this
It has built in skype, so we set up skype accounts for each conference room. Not the most ideal setup, but the higher ups seem to be pleased with it. Affordable option.
