This depends upon how thick the monitor is at the top. Most taper toward the top such that the top edge is less thick, and a webcam should work well in that situation. For some "business" style monitors I've noticed that the top edge is quite "thick" or deep... and the mount that comes with most webcams isn't going to adapt to that. Basically, the mount has a rubberized base under the camera, with a lip that goes over the front of the monitor. The rest of the mount is a hinged arm that you adjust so that its rubberized foot presses against the back of the monitor. The camera is held in place on top by the lip, and on the bottom by the rubberized foot pressing against the monitor back. For that to work, the monitor needs to be thinner toward the top. I suspect you could do some adaptation with Velcro strips or something like that, should the monitor be thick at the top.
