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

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. The Logitech Brio can support 720p, 1080p, and 4K quality which means you can stream with crystal clear video.

This is the width that a webcam lens can capture, so this is an important feature to look at if you want a broad field of view. A 65-degree field of view is enough to capture one person in a stream. Answer: You can use both the Logitech Brio and the C920 with a Mac. Previous versions of the Logitech software weren’t compatible with a Mac device, but the most up-to-date versions do work on Apple computers. The Brio can deliver a 4K video, ensuring crystal clear performance, although this depends on specific software. For example, some video conferencing software, such as Zoom, limits video quality output and caps the resolution, so investing in a higher-quality webcam might not be the best solution. Both webcams perform well for streaming content. If you are looking for an upgrade to your current webcam, the Brio is probably a better option as it will provide higher-definition video with some extras. However, if you are looking for your first webcam that offers good performance on a budget, the C920 is worth considering. Logitech C920– Best Budget There isn’t anything that massively stands out with this webcam, but it offers basic functionality with a high-quality video resolution. The picture can look a bit soft and often slightly out-of-focus, but it represents a good budget option for streaming content for the cost of this webcam. NexiGo N950PHowever, overall, this is an excellent webcam ideal for high-quality streaming or business use. What Are the Similarities Between the Logitech Brio and C920? The Logitech C920 offers 720p and 1080p resolution; however, it doesn’t allow for 4K video, which is reflected in the lower price. To stream and broadcast video, Logitech recommends XSplit Broadcaster (xsplit.com). As an alternative, you can use OBS (OBproject.com). When purchasing a new webcam, don’t focus entirely on the resolution as the main factor. Some video conferencing software caps the resolution, although, with Twitch, you can stream in 4K, but it does require at least 8 Mbps upload speed. Field of View 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.

If neither the Logitech Brio or C920 seem like the right choices, here are two alternatives you should consider. AVerMedia PW513 The Logitech C920 only has the capability for 78 degrees; however, this does allow for a broader field of view than just capturing one person sitting at their computer. Microphone However, overall, this cam provides high-quality resolution and good features, and the remote control is an excellent addition. Verdict – Go for the Logitech BrioThere isn’t anything particularly wrong with the mic on these two webcams, although I would recommend purchasing a separate microphone for better audio quality.

If you are looking for a decent quality budget option, the C920 does the job, but it won’t offer the same quality as the Brio, which will cost more money. Logitech Brio and C920 – Performance All the top streamers use a quality webcam, so how do the Logitech Brio and C920 compare with their features? Resolution The C920 also comes with two built-in microphones, but once again, I recommend using something external instead.This webcam allows for 4K picture quality, and overall it is more on par with the Brio and the C920. There is also a digital zoom function, while the handy remote control makes adjusting the brightness, field of view, mic volume, and other settings a breeze.
