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

Product Information

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. Logitech’s C920 webcam is a great choice for your streams, video chats, and recordings. It has H.264 video compression, a Full HD glass lens with precisely tuned autofocus, and automatic low-light correction, which gives you the best quality possible.

All the top streamers use a quality webcam, so how do the Logitech Brio and C920 compare with their features? Resolution To record videos or take pictures, Logitech recommends the Microsoft Camera App available from the Windows store, fully compatible with Logitech BRIO STREAM. That isn’t to say that the C920 is particularly bad (it isn’t), just that the Brio comes with higher-quality video and some extra features that you won’t find on the C920. The cost is a little on the high side, so if you are in the market for a proper budget webcam to start up your streaming channels, you might want to look at the C920 or the AVerMedia PW513 instead. 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

Brio 500 FULL HD WEBCAM

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.

Like the Logitech C920, the Brio is very easy to set up. You can just plug-and-play this device, although I recommend installing the Logitech webcam software to access additional features.

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.
