Adding a facacam gives a video a more personal look as people see a face with the voice wich in some cases can work for the positive.
I myself have never experienced anything from adding this to my video's and therefor don't use it anymore but this could be different for anyone else of course :)

Face cam is something that I want to do myself, but on a personal level I don't feel ready as I'm still starting off. If you feel ready and want to I think its a good idea to go for it as it allow the audience to get to know and like you and your personality more.

I also just got started and the facecam is decent not good and my background is pretty **** so i have to cover it with a cloth! Idk how it will look but i might as well try for a video and then i could see if it good or bad!

I would honestly say that it's a personal preference thing. If you do it might help your audience feel a bit closer to you but i have seen channels with no face cam that have millions of viewers and it kind of adds like a mystery type thing cause a lot of people would wonder what you look like but like i said its a preference thing. Like with me.. I feel like if i never started using a face cam id probably be doing a bit better because my cam quality sucks lol but oh well. It can't hurt to try! :D

I think that face cams can be a great addition to videos and can improve it greatly! But of course not everything is perfect. You have to exaggerate and be more animated than you normally would if you have a webcam on. Also make sure that you have a fairly decent webcam because having a bad webcam can take more away from the video than it is helping it. If you got all of that down then go for it!​

If you feel cofortable putting yourself out there online then i say go for it but if you don't then don't. it can be a good way to connect with your audience but it can be hard to implement in your videos until you have a proper way to complete it. You should think about how often you would be able to do face cam and whether it would fit with your recording schedule because doing it every once in a while isn't really worth it. so in conclusion its worth it if you can put in the effort to implement it well and if you feel comfortable. hope this helps

What you want to do is a very difficult job. You might think of your viewer as a friend but they might not feel the same way. Plus, let's face it, I think you are male and honestly most of the gamers are also male (no offense to the females). So, I think you should not use a facecam with every video. You should try it with a few videos and see how things go.
