Logitech Brio Stream Webcam - Ultra 4K HD Video Calling, Noise-Cancelling Mic, HD Auto Light Correction, Wide Angle, Compatible with Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Google Meet on PC / Mac, Streaming - Black

Product Information

We also have a Logitech C910 which is the predecessor to the C920. One of the main differences between the two is that the C920 has a different compression algorithm which makes it better suited for 1080p video chat. A good feature they both share is auto-focus. You can hold an item as close as 4 inches away from the C910 or C920 and within a couple of seconds the item will come sharply into focus (assuming you hold the object still, of course). Link to show auto-focus in action: Logitech C910 Auto-focus up close.

So how is audio on the BRIO 4K? With dual omnidirectional microphones, you'd think it'd be amazing. Unfortunately, it's pretty much standard for a webcam. Things sound a little tinny, and you can definitely tell it isn't coming from a more dedicated microphone peripheral. I'd say it's perfectly fine for casual use, however.

We were especially impressed with the Brio 500’s auto-white balance, which is something almost all webcams struggle with — it wasn’t perfect, but it was almost as impressive as the auto-white balance seen on much pricier webcams, such as the Insta360 Link. Logitech’s RightLight 4 technology, which is designed to compensate in less-than-ideal lighting situations, did an excellent job of producing flattering, evenly-lit images in both low and overexposed lighting. The BRIO is both an excellent Windows Hello camera and an excellent webcam, making it the perfect choice for consumers looking to get into the Windows Hello space. Facial recognition is fast and super simple to set up. It works just like any other Windows Hello peripheral. You plug it in, head to the Settings app in Windows 10, and set it up. No additional software is needed. The C930e has the same sensor as the C920s Pro, but it has an upgraded lens with a wider field of view — 90 degrees versus the C920s Pro’s 78 degrees. This wider field of view is useful not only because it allows you to display an unnecessary amount of your home office, but also because it adds 4x digital zoom (the C920s Pro also offers digital zoom through Logitech’s Logi Capture software). Digital zoom is useful on a webcam because zooming in gives you some control over camera positioning (tilt/pan), which is handy if your webcam isn’t ideally positioned. Supports multiple connection types, including USB 2.0 Type A and USB 3.0 Type A and C connections -Custom carrying case

You can also record locally at 4K, at least on Windows 10 with the camera app. If you're a Mac user, you may find that 4K isn't supported out of the box. You may be able to get 4K working with some third party software, but the default camera app on Mac does not do 4K. On Windows 10, it worked pretty much instantly. It's a plug-and-play webcam, so no additional drivers are needed. You just plug it into a USB 3.0 port, and you're good to go.Windows Hello is a fun, personal, and fast way to log into your Windows 10 PC. Just show your face, and you're in. Hello is a biometric system that also supports fingerprint readers and other devices, but the face sign-in is what it's known for. Logitech's documentation says that the Brio is certified for Windows Hello because of its IR sensor, and the plug-and-play installation will let you set it up for Hello use in the Windows Settings app. The BRIO 4K is super fast with Windows Hello, making logins almost instant. That's the case with most Windows Hello facial recognition peripherals, however. I'm just super glad to see Logitech finally adopt Windows Hello integration into its webcams, and the BRIO 4K is an excellent Hello device. I'd even say I recommend the BRIO 4K based on Windows Hello functionality alone. That's how important Windows Hello is to me. Logitech software Pre-pandemic, webcams were mostly an afterthought — built into your laptop's bezel as a convenience, nothing more. They weren't good, but we didn't use them enough to care. But since the pandemic made remote working the norm, the market for external webcams has exploded.

I’m an avid bird photographer and traveler—I’ve been to 40 countries, many with great birds! Because I’m also a classical fan and former performer, I’ve reviewed streaming services that emphasize classical music. RightLight 3 with HDR for clear image in various lighting environments, ranging from low light to direct sunlight I was able to verify the 4K capability using Windows 10's included Camera app, which indeed let me record a video at 3,840-by-2,160 pixels, for 8.3 million pixels, which is what you expect with 4K. I also tested 4K broadcasting with a YouTube live stream, though compression for network bandwidth made the result not as sharp as the 4K you see on, say, ESPN on your HDTV. To record videos or take pictures, Logitech recommends the Microsoft Camera App available from the Windows store, fully compatible with Logitech BRIO STREAM. Can you get by with it making Skype calls? Absolutely. It's still a very clear microphone, it just isn't as bassy or as premium sounding as I'd like. Could you get by with it making YouTube videos? Less so. You'll definitely want to grab yourself a dedicated microphone with the BRIO 4K if you're planning to make YouTube videos. Windows HelloResolution: It's easy to be wooed by that 4K label, but make sure you actually want — and can use — an ultra high-res webcam. Common web conferencing apps such as Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams limit your outgoing video stream to 720p or 1080p, so it's unlikely your coworkers will benefit from that extra quality unless you plan on zooming (higher-res webcams will offer more detail in zoomed-in shots).
