The MX Brio is the webcam we would hand to most people who work from home. Logitech describes it as its most advanced webcam, with a sensor that has 70% larger pixels, and says it shows 2x finer image detail and face visibility than the Brio 4K, especially in low light or with a window behind you. It records 4K at 30 fps or 1080p at 60 fps, and AI face-based enhancement works with auto-exposure, white balance and noise reduction to keep skin tones accurate. Show Mode lets you tilt the camera down to show notes on your desk during a call. For more control, Logi Options+ and G Hub expose ISO, shutter speed, tint and vibrance. Dual beamforming mics with AI noise reduction mean you can take calls without a headset, and the rotating shutter closes the lens between meetings. The limits: no 4K at 60 fps and no gimbal tracking.

Who it is for

Remote workers who want the sharpest picture in low light or backlit rooms, plus good mics, with no setup fuss.
