Logitech - Brio 300

I’m using Logitech Brio 305 connected by USB C and very happy.

Any dslr would easily beat both my webcams (Logitech Brio 300, Microsoft Lifecam HD 3000)

I have a Logitech Brio 301 USB-C with integrated microphone. It works very well with TEAMS on a Mac mini and I am like 5-8 hours a day on TEAMs.

We choose the Logitech Brio because they have a USBC port instead of a fixed cable which means easier replacing cables and stuff. But that was during COVID-19. Still working though. In our hybrid classrooms we either use a single PTZ or a two PTZ camera system. The negative feedback we get from a wide shot camera was the reason to bite the bullet and place a second PTZ if demanded. They wanted to read Face expressions.

(Edit to put this at top - I wouldn't recommend a Brio 100 (101?) because it is fixed-focus). I've had a Logitech C920 (lowest price looks to be around $60) for several years and it's never given trouble. Also a Logitech Brio 4k ($130). I've also tried no-name webcams and ended up with something that randomly disappears in the middle of meetings (this wasn't Fedora-specific). If it was me, I would go $10 over budget and get a C920 (the diffs between C920/C920e/C920X are minor and mostly what software is bundled with it, so inconsequential). Definitely *don't* get a Brio 101 or 301, or a C270 - they are within your budget, but all three are fixed-focus. (Brio 4k is autofocus like the C920, but double the price, because of the hugher resolution) (I got my first Logitech product back in 1985 (C7 mouse) and have never had a quality problem with any of their products.)

I use the Logitech Brio 300 full HD, Not sure the prices of the other ones commenting so thought I would share mine. It’s very small, pink(or other colors), affordable and I believe good quality but you can look up amazon reviews yourself and see. It’s $50

It also has the auto adjust to lighting feature

Plugged in a Logitech Brio 300 (USB-C), and it worked just fine

Image quality is as good as it gets for a 1080 resolution camera. My couch is about 6-7ft away as well.

I use the Logitech Brio 300 and I like it :) its around $70 on Amazon at the moment. it can stand on its own or clip to the monitor, the leg design gives lots adjustable height and angle options. It has a flip cover for privacy and there's a large yellow light that comes on whenever the camera or mic is being accessed. It's small, which was important to me. My cats would have snapped one of those large rectangle ones off my monitor in a week max lol. This one is circular and very sturdy if you're someone who drops things a lot or needs space on your desk. It still takes in a good amount of light and gives off a clear image despite its size. It comes in black, white and pink so maybe you can even select an option that matches your stuff! I have a couple of twitch VODs using the brio so if you'd like to check the quality I can take a screenshot and add an imgur link to the comments.

Logitech Brio 300 does work and it has usb-c plug, so no adapters needed.

i currently stream from my computer and with the right ring light set up can get pretty good quality video but not a lot of mobility / angles. so i want a webcam but im looking for something under $100. i got the brio 300 and dont like it at all. it looks way too bright and the color correction is off. i like a warm soft light and can’t seem to get that with the cam the way i can with my phone or computer for streams. what do you recommend that’s decent on a budget?

I have the Logitec Brio and it's an awesome webcam. If you have a newer phone from the last 3 years or so, you can connect it to your computer through an app like Camo and the picture is excellent!

I use an Anker Powerconf C200, it works great in low light and does 1080p/60. I only use some LED lights at around 40% brightness with mood lighting and my monitor brightness is set pretty low and my camera quality is great. I have a Logitech Litra Glow key light as well, but I rarely ever use it unless I'm really trying to light something up. Some of the Logitech cameras work fairly well in lower light too, like the C920, C720, and anything in the Brio line.

I have the Brio, this is correct. The c922 is a well documented workhorse.

I use the Logitech Brio because xQc uses it. I've never had a problem with it.

Logitech brio and onn tripod

I have a Brio as well and its ability to self adjust brightness is stellar. I also use a poly sync 20 for the audio and the setup is excellent.

A few months back I upgraded from my Logitech BRIO to a Sony ZV-E10 and the difference in quality is HUGE. I am very pleased with my experience. I use this camera for streaming only, not YouTube, so I can't comment on that. But my stream looks so crisp now as the camera does a great job handling low lit backgrounds with minimal grain. I believe the ZV-E10 was around $800? And included the cam itself and also an adjustable lense.

Logitech Brio works great, about $80-100

I use an instalink 360 and it works really great. I've tried a Logitech Brio and a Lumina 4k also, but I like the instalink the best. https://amzn.to/4fAm268

I have several on primary, secondary and office workstations. The two cameras I really enjoy are the Logitech Brio and the Elgato FaceCam Pro. The Brio has served me well since the pandemic lockdown, every day for at least two hours a day in Teams meetings. The FaceCam Pro is a quit recent purchase, I replaced a clunky setup with a Sony mirrorless with it. It has great quality and a nice bokeh for a webcam, and together with a key- or ring-light it makes for good recordings, not just meetings. I find this is a tremendous upgrade from just joining from my mac or surface laptop. I pair with a good microphone, and I almost have a studio with just three usb-c connections (mic, cam, neo keylight). Just haven't figured out how to handle my clicky-click mechanic keyboards when I do demo video recordings...

You can snag a Logitech brio on eBay new for about $60 and they’re great with the Logitech ghub app. Pretty simple can and has tons of functionality

logitech brio is the best one, don’t listen to people saying the c920 whatever they are outdated and the colour is bad, get a brio

I got the Logitech Brio and maybe there's some settings I don't know how to adjust, but I can't stand the way the colors show up. When I open up the camera settings for adjustment, there's nothing really to do for the coloration.. Just to turn HD on/off, adjust brightness. When I looked it up, people were recommending a streaming service OBS to get the most out of it, and that's just not a path I'm willing to go down. Does anyone have a recommendation for a webcam that is more straightforward, and still brings a great visual? I'm doing meetings all day, so it's just to capture that.

If it's on sale, I'd pursue the Logitech Brio. The picture is pretty clean with this webcam.

I switched from the Elgato to the Brio. It's an improvement, but I'd look at reviews first to be safe.

I have a Brio and it's mic is surprisingly great.

The c920 is just a classic standard all around fine webcam. But it is getting a bit old now and was release date back in 2012... Logitech have the c922 that can do 60fps in 1080p tho. Logitech Brio is a better webcam overall and can do 4k. Insta360 Link 2 is also there but is in a completely different price range.

Razer makes pretty good cameras! I use a Logitech brio and that has been a pretty good camera. I would also recommend the Sony A400

I have the Brio, I wouldn't recommend it over a budget cam for 80 or so. Unless you are planning to do high deff titty streams, the extra detail is lost when you shrink the webcam window

Do NOT get the Brio. It's laggy as soon as you take off auto exposure. Multiple people in my group of friend streamers have said this and I have too. Definitely would recommend the OBSBOT Tiny 2 Lite best bang for your buck and it's a sort of PTZ with Ai tracking. It's been an absolute dream while pairing it with Nvidia broadcast's no background tool

> will be streaming in 4K What, like to YouTube? Because you *absolutely* aren't going to be doing that on Twitch any time soon. They don't even allow enough bitrate for a proper 1080p60 stream, much less one with four times as many pixels per second. Yeah, not going to get even 4K30 for under $150 or so. Heck, you aren't even really going to get 1080p60 for that. There's the Logitech BRIO, but they're horrible basket-case shitgoblins; I have two on the shelf that I'll occasionally grab one and update its firmware and software just to see if they managed to fix it yet. So far no dice. $70 range you're looking at the gold-standard starter webcam, the Logitech c920/c922, if you can find one on sale. 1080p30 with decent image quality if your lighting setup is at least OK. *Do not* skimp on the lighting.

Elgato c920 is the gold-standard starter cam. You can find them on-sale for around $50 usually. Of those three, I'd go with the Elgato. Avoid the BRIO like the basket-case shitgoblin it is (I have two sitting on the shelf, they're worthless little turdbuckets that constantly error and look like absolute crap, even compared to a c920; I bought them when they first came out as their whitesheet makes them look like the perfect cam, but THEY ARE NOT). > Btw, I do stream at 4k60 You must be streaming to YouTube, then? Because Twitch's max bitrate would make any 4K60 stream look like hot fried poop. Absolutely unwatchable. Doubling down on the Facecam Mk2 (or bump up to the Pro), it's going to give the best quality out of the three.

Brand names like the c920 are known performers. They have people who have actually used them, and deliver a known result point. The other three you have listed are no-names. The sensors may be crap; even if they technically output 1080p60, they may look like absolute hot garbage. The whitesheet spec is not the full story. What kind of optics do they use? What kind of dynamic range does the sensor provide? Is the gain amp clean, or cheap noisy trash? What kind of reliability and reproducibility do they bring to the table? Do they have a decent autofocus? How big is the actual sensor they use? --- I got fooled by the white-sheet on the Logitech Brio. Looks *amazing* on paper, the perfect camera that I'd always been hoping someone would make. I bought two, sight-unseen, when they first came out. They were (and still are) horrible basket-case shitgoblins. Sitting on my shelf, back in their boxes. Overheating, crashing, disconnecting, image corruption, and sometimes not even being recognized at all. And when they *did* work... the image quality was somehow *worse* that the c920 I'd bought them to replace. Looked like absolute fried ass. So yeah. Sometimes it's because something is known to work (reasonably well), and not just an optimized text string meant to lure people in.

What would you suggest? I’m using a Logitech Brio

Crazy how brio is 7 years old but still the best tech around. 

How does this compare to the Logitech brio? In terms of face unlocking for windows hello.

I was gonna say, the brio for me was a bit finicky at unlocking. Especially in the dark. I wonder if that's changed any?

I was hoping for some kind of driver update to fix that, but it might be due to hardware limitations.

My Logitech Brio doesn't work. The microphone shows up but the camera test doesn't detect a camera.

I love my Brio I had it since 2019

The cheaper the better? The Logitech C920 is what most people start with @ 50$ ish. That’s what i started with as well, now i use the brio

Logitech Brio Webcam $140 vs Logitech C920x Webcam ($70) I have both and the c920x is a good camera for the price. Or you can try this for turning your phone into a webcam. - [https://iriun.com/](https://iriun.com/)

Others are right you will struggle to get high fps or high resolution though ml pipelines. Typically things are downsampled before that step and then the keypoints re overlayed on top of the full res video. For your purposes you could pick up any cheap 720p webcam and it would probably work well. Or the logitech brio is probably the best consumer grade webcam out there still but the 4k mode is kind of a processing mode rather than true resolution. But it is a very good webcam. I have also tried this webcam which works well but is less user friendly. The main advantage here is swappable lenses so you can change the fov/ zoom so far away subjects can take up more of the frame. Webcams are usually pretty wide angle since people are close to them normally.

Hey do you guys have any idea which cam is good for streaming? I brought a Elgato Facecam Pro beacause my old Logitech Brio getting crashes all the time. But in the elgato pro i look very very ill. My face is red like a tomate. The color fastness seems to be very bad, but i would like to have a 4k 60fps cam :(. I would also use the camera on different computers for meetings etc, So it would be nice, if i dont need to set everything up first, before i look normal :D. I also don't like moving cameras that follow me around like the obspot tiny 2, but I'd overlook that if I knew a camera like that was better. Are there any alternatives for the elgato pro? Should be cost about 200-max. 400 €. I Have a lot of Logitech and elgato in my Set-Up so im very sad, that the cam is so bad :(. The Elgato pro camera also looks good in my set up (from the aesthetic). Thanks for help! (And no i dont like to use my phonecamera as a facecam.)

So when I deactivate the white balance I find that the picture looks a bit more “real”. Nevertheless, I find my lips very reddish, for example, or my dark circles very strong. Is it not worth using a different camera? I didn't have to adjust anything on my previous Logitech Brio. Of course, the quality of the image is simply different and doesn't match the resolution and fluidity of the Elgato pro.

Very happy with Logitech Brio.

Get the BRIO. Had mine for 4 years, Still holding up. Nice crisp clear 4K especially if you keep your streams and upload them to YT later. Wouldnt use the built in mic though if you do a shitload of talk to the chat. A separate microphone is better, but you can turnoff the mic on the BRIO in the OBS settings or the Logi software.

Id like to know as well. I will say that the elgato facecam did not work well with my m1 mac mini when i tried it out. i use a logitech brio, which is good, but im also looking for something even better.

I own the first two and honestly the Logitech BRIO is totally fine as a webcam. The ONE thing that pisses me off about the Facecam Pro is that every single time I boot my PC I have to unplug and plug it back in to work as it doesn’t receive enough power on boot. Every time without fail it displays a yellow light. Unplug, replug, magically it works. But it’s super annoying. Another thing that irks me is the advertising for these says 4K, 60 fps when they in fact only offer 4K *or* 60fps. Not both at the same time. Not that it matters much for streaming on Twitch, but it sure would be nice to not have to constantly compromise on framerate or resolution for recorded content. No amount of reinstalling drivers or using different ports has ever fixed these issues. I’m just tired of webcams not working properly man. Would be easier to just use your phone at this point.

I use a logitech Brio and i don't think its worth the price. I can't vouch for the elgato, but i also have a c920 from logitech that is almost as good quality as the brio for 1/2 the price

Unless this is a hobby that you enjoy throwing money at, a better camera won’t make a huge difference. Focus on your content and lighting. Lighting helps ALMOST any shitty camera look amazing. Webcam quality in 2020 is way better than it was in 2008. Only If you’re making money from streaming, such that your profits can pay for a new camera, that’s the only time I’d recommend upgrading your camera beyond a Logitech Brio. But even this elgato face cam is good enough

We use logitech brios for my job. They are pretty crisp and offer good lighting/glare control.

Logitech Brio is a great option to start. If $199 is too steep you might try finding one used somewhere like Craigslist...

The brio is pretty good for its price. Make sure you get the one you have shown here if you choose brio. The newer one is honestly worse quality in terms of picture. I would not get the egato facecam unless you can get the pro, which is significantly more expensive but has insanely good picture quality for a webcam. Its almost indistinguishable from an actual DSLR. I'd say the obsbot is probably a little bit better than the brio in quality. The c922 that people are suggesting is markedly worse than any of these choices and despite what people tell you, lighting is not going to fix that. You're going to want good lighting for any camera you use.

I have a Logitech brio mounted on top of an oled TV that’s basically a thin pane of glass (<.4” thick). The c920 uses the same style monitor mount so I assume that will also work assuming your monitor isn’t some sort of flexible display that couldn’t hold the weight.

Brio is great, I like the Icontact as I do a lot of presentations and eye contact with the camera helps come across as engaged. I think Sony just bought them so a new versions coming out. Mic is great. I dont think video quality is any better than the brio though.

I use a Logitech BRIO and an Amazon essentials webcam stand

thats odd, I plugged in my brio to the dock and it only recognized it as a usb mic

I had the brio for a very long time still have it today and it's fantastic

I use both the Brio and c920 I have to use a separate software for the brio to make the picture look more clear. So it's just not plug and play. Same for the c920. Before streaming I set the camera settings first to 30fps Go to advance setting, I uncheck white balance. Go to the next tab and uncheck the two. Then one of em I unchecked I set it from 4 to a 5. Click apply, okay. Then go to settings again but change it to Highest Fps. The screen may go dark after this option. But it's okay because you go to advance settings and set the Gain to the highest level. Now it looks much better. You just need some lighting and you're all set. I'm typing this from memory, not on my computer, so directions may seem confusing.

I got the brio myself!

It's a great choice which you've choosen for your discord+ video calling. The Logitech Brio is great choice and I've found available at ubuy too. It's a trustworthy website for you to get started shopping I'm saying this on my personal experience and how I've enjoyed prompt product delivery from them. Go ahead and shop as you please.

Logitech C920 or the Brio if you can find it for a decent price

We have the Logitech Brio and it works great

dont get brio unless you want to be dealing with its OBS zoom/position settings constantly resetting.

I have the Brio and it works great. I did not install any of Logitechs software. No need for it. Primarily use it with Teams via Citrix as well as Zoom and Face time locally.

+1 to the Logitech brio An expensive one but it looks great. Our office just got one for each desk and I recommend it.

Damn!! That's the one I have that I was going to try

I’ve been using the Logitech brio for many years and think the quality of the video is really great

Its really good Brio is better for both lighting and audio, this price is way high though, I dont know why I paid 30 for the last one I bought.

I 3rd the Brio statement. Mine was hot garbage, no matter how perfect I made my lighting.

I got the OBSbot earlier this week. Can’t speak to the Elgato but it bodies the Brio in my opinion (even though I got the 1080p OBSbot) one of the best webcams I’ve seen

My friends and I did notice it looked like a USB-C port in the Direct. The confirmation is appreciated. Glad I can just use my Brio Webcam

I 2nd the brio sentiment here. I have done everything in my power to make it look good and it only looks DECENT in perfectly lit situations.

Also in Canada. I bought my Brio (heard it was better than these ones) off Best Buy - open box deal was $100

I use the Hollyland M2 mics, it's incredible for streaming. Logi Brio seems to be working well on the camera front as well, even that though you can use your smartphone if you want to save a few extra bucks.

I use a Logitech HD 1080P. Works fantastic with the Mini.
