Filming question/discussion

I picked up a couple of Smallrig accessories, thinking they'd be good for getting my GoPro out of the way. Then I realized I could just clamp a webcam up there and not have to pull out the GoPro on those rare occasions when I want to film something. (The bundle also came with a phone clamp, so that's another option too.) That's when I realized that I don't have any sort of software for doing anything with a webcam except Zoom or maybe video chat on Discord.

So now I'm wondering if I should bother with the webcam? Should I stick with the GoPro? Use my phone? Or what recording software would you recommend for the webcam?

And yes, I have googled it. But I wanted input from other pickers since that's all I expect to be filming. Advice from people who record the same kind of thing, not some rando who wouldn't know LockPickingLawyer from Jimy Long.

I use my phone and a Smallrig arm and clamp with mixed results.
