You can use the mic on the camera if you plug an 3.5mm audio cable from the headphone jack on the camera to the line-in or mic jack on your PC.

Great idea, I hadn't thought of this and will try.

My wife uses Canon SL2 as web cam for yoga classes, but sound remains an issue so I will try if this is better than the poor laptop mic.  I suspect I could also add an external mic to the Canon which would pass that signal to the headphone jack - that would be even better.
