About this deal

Autofocus, auto white balance, and low-light correction: Most webcams look pretty good with a professional lighting setup, a thoughtfully-framed and curated set, and some manual software fine-tuning. But if you don't have the space, equipment, time, or patience to perfect your picture, look for a webcam that works well out of the box. We test webcams using both default and manually-configured settings, in a number of ideal and less-than-ideal lighting scenarios. To record videos or take pictures, Logitech recommends the Microsoft Camera App available from the Windows store, fully compatible with Logitech BRIO STREAM. Our verdict? The camera performs great. I wouldn't say it's all that much better than, say, a 1080p webcam, but with the additional HDR support, it does look clearer compared to other webcams. Would I say 4K is a bit of overkill right now? Yeah, I would. You can get by taking 1080p video with this webcam, and it still looks super amazing, so the 4K stuff is more future proofing than anything. It's still great to have, and something I'm glad the camera has built into it. Audio quality 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. 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.

Supports multiple connection types, including USB 2.0 Type A and USB 3.0 Type A and C connections -Custom carrying caseThe most useful setting in the Logitech app may be the one that lets you select the field of view, with choices of 90, 78, and 65 degrees. I found that 90 degrees was a bit wide for standard video calling while seated in front of the PC, and that 78 degrees looked right. Advanced settings in the app let you adjust brightness, contrast, and color intensity. It also lets you switch from autofocus and auto white balance to manual adjustment of focus and white balance settings with sliders.

AnkerWork B600 Video Bar: This webcam has strong visual fidelity and a number of conference-call friendly features like a speaker and a built-in light bar with touch controls, but its price makes it a poor option for anyone who doesn't need those extras. 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.

The Link is a very impressive webcam — maybe a little too impressive. Realistically, the Link is probably overkill for all but a very small user demographic. 4K resolution isn’t even possible in most web conferencing apps, and capture modes such as “portrait mode,”“top-down mode,” and “desktop mode” are fun to play with but aren’t terribly beneficial unless you already know how you’re going to use them.
