Logitech Brio Ultra HD Webcam for Video Conferencing, Recording and Streaming, 4K

Product Information

To make this odd approach work, the threaded insert has notches cut in it to give the ability to expand a little. The control tool is especially handy since many of the communication applications gave little or no control over the camera to adjust brightness, contrast or focusing.

There are some that do, but having this small application installed enables those tweaks to be made with applications that don’t offer those controls. That said, the image quality of the camera is very impressive, and there is a fantastic range of resolutions available from it in both still image and video capture. It should work with Windows, Mac OS and Chromebook and with a wide range of applications that these operating systems support, all without special drivers or tools. And, before buying a webcam, it is worth searching to determine if the chosen hardware and conferencing platforms play together nicely as not all do. It’s also worth noting that while the camera can record 4K video, the choice to have that quality, or not, is very often not one the user is given by some application. Zoom as an example, chooses a maximum of 720p, though it can be bumped to 1080p by Zoom support intervention.

At least three of Logitech’s webcams (including the Brio) are certified to be compatible with various video conferencing platforms like Skype for Business, Microsoft Teams, Cisco WebEx, and Cisco Jabber. However, only the Brio is also certified to be compatible with Microsoft Cortana and Windows Hello. In recent years hardware makers have become more operating system agnostic in that they don’t provide a suite of software applications to exploit their devices with them. Video resolutions: 4K Ultra HD (4096 x 2160 pixels @ 30 fps),1080p Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels @ 30 or 60 fps),

In an attempt to keep small parts, like the modesty guard and USB cable, along with the camera, a small soft pouch comes in the box, an item that so many similar products often leave out.The Brio’s universal mounting clip, which is detachable, fits securely on both laptops and monitors. It’s wide enough to even fit on bulky laptops or monitors. Logitech Brio Ultra HD Pro Business Webcam review: Video and audio quality Why the designers chose this concept we’ve no idea, but it seems a poor alternative to giving the foot a simple threaded bolt, and it gave us a few head-scratching moments when we tried to unscrew the clip, and it wouldn’t rotate at all. Logitech needs to explain this bizarre use of a thread in its instructions to avoid people breaking one of both parts trying to get them apart. But the other issue here is 4K video conferencing and if a business should be encouraging its employees to use bandwidth and finite resources on it. Given a choice, we’d rather have a streamed meeting in 1080p that was uninterrupted than one in 4K that stuttered repeatedly.
