I can vouch for the OM-D E-M1 as a webcam, I used mine to run an on-line course
via Zoom during COVID - no problems. Used the E system 12-60mm lens which
proved to be very good and the AC power adapter to ensure no battery changes.
It's a bit of overkill for the average on-line meeting or chat but great when
you need to control focus and framing.
