The best Logitech webcams for crystal-clear meetings
Stream your best side in high definition and perfect audio
More people have decided to work from home since the global pandemic in 2020, but not everyone is necessarily set up for it. For example, if you have a desktop computer, you’ll need a separate webcam to join online meetings.
Laptops often have a webcam built into the bezel, but even those can be lower quality than expected. Logitech has several models for this, but the Logitech Brio 4K webcam is an excellent choice for the highest resolution.
Webcam considerations
An essential part of having a successful online meeting is that all participants can see you clearly. The best way to ensure that is to have a webcam with a high streaming resolution. In most cases, full HD with a 1080p resolution is sufficient, but some webcams go as high as 4K.
These are the preferred gadget for people who not only attend online meetings but also record content for social media or YouTube videos. It’s important to remember, though, that a high-resolution webcam requires faster internet.
Another consideration is the microphone, especially if you don’t have a stand-alone gadget to capture your voice. There is no use in having a webcam with excellent visuals but it doesn’t pick up your voice. Affordable webcams often have a single microphone, but it is much better to get a Logitech webcam with two or more omnidirectional microphones.
Best Logitech webcams
The Brio is a highly-rated webcam and the first of its line released by Logitech. It features a high-definition camera with three fields of view and can easily switch between 4K, 1080p and 720p resolutions. It has auto-focus, two omnidirectional microphones and a 7.2-foot USB cable. However, our testers found that a camera as good as this one would benefit from a sturdy tripod that you can place on the desk.

This webcam streams 30fps video at 1080p resolution and has two microphones. The built-in software automatically fine-tunes to the lighting conditions, and it comes with a three-month XSplit VCam license. The webcam has a 4-foot cable and connects to a computer through a USB port. Our testers found it needed a little bit of tuning for some dim light, but overall it captured objects in contrast with the background.
