No.

Most are fairly discreet when cradling on the bezel.
Thank you, the bezel around the screen is really thin so any clamping would be on the screen, a little worried about that.

My Brio mount is fairly discreet...

That type/profile would be just fine.

Not all cams have that type of clamp so further mounting options might be good in my case.

To be honest, when you're in conference, it looks silly and unnatural to always look way up..., I keep one webcam on a platform just below my screen...

Yes I've been looking at the Logitech 920 series but a lot of the reviews have not been great.
If you hope to find an inexpensive web cam with no negative reviews, god luck.
If swivel isn't available in final choice, ath ability to mount via a tri-pod or stand would be useful
The C920 appears to have a standard 1/4-20 camera thread.
The Widows 11 24H2 camera app, is that a seperate app to be downloaded?
I don't recall ever downloading it. If I did, it must have been from the Microsoft Store.
Also, If I wanted to, is it possible to record, file and store webcam footage, can all web cams do this or only some can?
The MS Camera app has a basic video recording capability. As the capture is performed by the PC, I'd expect it to work with any web cam.

As regards mounting to the monitor, my old Logitech doesn't clamp. It is basically held in place by gravity. It's adjustable for monitor thickness. If you meant that your bezel is narrow (rather than thin) it would block at least a little of the screen.
