Logitech’s Brio Ultra HD Pro Business Webcam is one of the company’s most expensive webcams. But is it worth such a hefty price? If you can afford it, the short answer is “yes.”

It has all of the bells and whistles you’d want in a webcam — and probably a few you didn’t even know you’d want. The video and audio quality are as clear as an in-person meeting or conference, and auto focus, high dynamic range, auto white balance, and three fields of view are just some of the features not found on most webcams. In addition, it has a privacy shutter and a travel bag. And if you use Windows Hello, the Brio supports face recognition. It’s the best webcam for business — but it doesn’t come cheap.

The Logitech Brio Ultra HD Pro Business Webcam is tied with the 4K Pro Magnetic Webcam (which was specifically designed for the $5K to $6K Apple Pro Display XDR) for the title of Logitech’s most expensive webcam. At $199.00 on the Logitech site (and $172.27 on Amazon), you’ll pay a pretty penny for it — if you can find it. The Brio is temporarily sold out on Logitech’s website, but fortunately, it’s in stock on Amazon. If Logitech do restock it in the near future, we might be able to shave a few dollars off that hefty price tag with one of our Logitech promo codes.

Ever feel like current HD webcams just aren’t HD enough? That they don't do justice to that beautiful mug of yours? When 1080p doesn't cut it, the Logitech Brio enters the picture. It’s the only mainstream webcam available today that’s capable of recording at 4K resolution and HDR. As the best webcam Logitech has to offer, the Brio aims to be uncompromising in all areas.

Featuring a flush glass front and a rigid plastic casing, the Brio is ostensibly well-made: it looks like premium hardware and has a nice hefty weight to it. It comes with a convenient carrying pouch and detachable cable. Also included is a privacy shutter that can be flipped up and down. The detachable clip can hook onto your monitor or folds into a stand if it needs be. The quality of that stand could be better, though. Despite being Logitech’s flagship webcam, the Brio's stand is no sturdier than the ones included in Logitech’s budget lines. It’s also coated in a rubbery finish that attracts dust like crazy.

With a wide 90 degree capturing angle, the Brio has no problems taking in the entire scene of a conference room or your buddies next to you. This is perfect for streamers who frequently feature guests or like to show off an ornate studio. In addition to shooting at 4K at 30fps, the Brio also supports video capturing at 1080p at 60fps and 720p at 60fps. A reminder to those looking to capture in 4K: make sure to plug it into a USB 3.0 port.

Specifications
Maximum resolution and frame rate: 1080p, 60 FPS and 4K, 30 FPS. (USB 3.0 required. 1080p, 30 FPS is max with 2.0 connection.)

Detachable USB 3.0 Type-C to Type-A cable included. 85 inches in length.

Field of view: adjustable 90 degrees, 78 degrees, 65 degrees.

2 built in microphones.

Detachable monitor clip with 1/4th inch tripod thread.

Without a doubt, the Brio’s greatest strength is its detail level. Unsurprisingly, recording at 4K reveals much more detail compared to a standard 1080p webcam. In testing, I could clearly tell the Brio revealed finer patterns of my clothes and details in the background that would otherwise be blurry at 1080p.

The Brio is equipped with HDR support and a feature Logitech calls RightLight 3 to ensure that you’re always seen at your best. RightLight 3 adjusts brightness, contrast, and color settings to reach the optimal image quality for any given lighting situation.
