I went the expensive route & have a Blackmagic ATEM Mini Extreme ISO in my setup.
It has multiple cameras on it including one sitting on the monitor - all via hdmi.
The Mike is on a wall mount so I can move it as needed.
The ATEM exposes 2 usb C ports, one used to provide zoom or whatever as a webcam.
So I can mute all of them, mute video, show something else or, more commonly myself with a green screen & another video as backdrop - sometimes from a live YouTube feed.
