Customer Ratings & Reviews

This camera is great. It's affordable, high quality, and efficiently posable. It's also quite durable and the shutter is very convenient. I like using it because it's the perfect size and quality for my needs (recording for video games, joining video calls).

Love my webcam ! does everything i could hope for!!!

The picture quality is very good especially for the price point.

Still learning how to use this. Really like the clarity and ease of use. The only downside is that the thing does not attach to the Mac mini i bought it for so i extend the non camera part and place a book on top of it.

Love it! I needed a webcam for my monitor for some classes and zoom meetings, and I needed it asap. This was perfect in size and in price.

There is apparently a minimum character requirement here so there, product did its job.

The Brio webcam does not perform as expected. It has focusing problems. For example, it has a fixed focal point, and it is very difficult to get it to take a photo of my ID for school before a test.

I’ve lost track of how many Logitech products I’ve used over the past 30+ years that I’ve been computing and gaming–mice, trackballs, keyboards, joysticks, microphones, headsets…and in virtually every respect along every product line I’ve tried, Logitech has routinely knocked it out of the park, especially with their budget-friendly offerings. Enter the Brio 100…another entry in Logitech’s value-oriented line of unassuming webcams with relatively little in the way of bells and whistles, and a bargain-basement price to match; and yet I was supremely impressed by the picture quality and noise rejection it offered for your run-of-the-mill video conferencing capabilities, even besting the video quality offered by a rival’s 2K webcam I recently auditioned. As it should be, operation was totally plug and play; the webcam was instantly recognized by my Windows laptop, home PC, and even my work computer which is completely locked down for installation of any third-party applications or external devices that require a separate driver download. Windows recognized the options for 2.1MP 1920x1080 image capture or 1080p/30fps video. Construction is all plastic, but the tilt, sliding shutter, and monitor clamp actions are all reassuringly dampened with enough “bite” to ensure that the webcam and its mount will not slowly droop and slump out of place or shutter action become so loose that the shutter slides around without provocation. A white, though thankfully not blindingly bright, activity LED lets you know when the camera is active; the sliding shutter is large enough to block out all image/video signals even if you don’t get placement precisely over the lens/aperture. Auto-exposure worked well to maintain a stable and pleasing image quality in low, moderate, and even bright lighting conditions. Picture quality was surprisingly solid for a webcam clocking in so cheaply with no obvious color banding, digital noise, or intrusive grain. Colors seemed natural and reds especially were not overblown the way I’ve seen some webcams produce fleshtones that always look a bit sunburned. Audio quality is…good enough. It’s definitely not broadcast quality and there is just a hint of compression-related hollowness to voices, but it’s perfectly listenable and intelligible for the receivers provided you’re sitting at “normal” viewing distances from your monitor. While I was testing out the webcam doing some video and sound captures, my wife was busy in the chair across from me (about 4 feet away) separating out some vitamins and pills. She was shaking the pill bottles rather loudly when it occurred to me to see what kind of effect nearby background noise would have on audio quality during an active call. She shook the bottle for 30 seconds while I recorded my own voice speaking with her. When I played the clip back, I was surprised that I could BARELY make out the sound of the rattling pills at all. At least in my artificial testing setup, errant audio beyond the sides or to the back of the microphone had very little discernible impact on speaker audio quality. However, Logitech’s own specs indicate the mic is only good to about 3 feet anyway–clearly, the Brio 100 is designed for use primarily with a single speaker sitting at a desk or in front of a laptop; you would not want to use it for a larger conference room or open venue where the speaker was not already up-close-and-personal with the webcam. It would have been fine if Logitech had stopped there, but if you elect to download Logitech’s Logi+ companion app, there are actually additional controls and settings opened up to you. A handy overview image of the Brio 100 is provided on the Logi+ landing page that indicates exposure status and all current image adjustment settings. Logi+ will check for any available firmware updates (none were ready as of this writing) and give you the option to set scanning frequency to match local powerline standards (50 or 60Hz) to reduce flicker in live video. But keep your eye on that firmware download option because the Logi+ app reported that features are “Coming soon” which will allow you to fine-tune exposure and tweak settings for shutter speed, ISO, and low light compensation. Immediately available however are image adjustment settings including a toggle for auto white balance as well as manual sliders for brightness, contrast, saturation, and sharpness. A live video feed is provided on screen so you can see the results of your image adjustments in real time–nice! Of course, there’s always room for improvement, and a few nice-to-haves would have made the Brio 100 even better. The captive USB-A cable is about 5 feet long…that’s fine if you’re using a laptop, but cable length may be an issue if your main PC sits WAY out of sight from your monitor…a detachable cable would allow for more flexibility, and would make it easier to use on laptops or tablets that only offer a USB-C port. The privacy slider is definitely appreciated in this day and age, but a flip-down shutter would have made it easier to see or remember if you had inadvertently left your webcam open for prying cyber eyes. The shutter also only covers the lens, it does not cover or mute the mic nor does it temporarily pause or deactivate the camera. The webcam is captive on the monitor clip and there are no threads provided for a tripod mount; however, you can fold the monitor clip under into a makeshift desk or shelf stand and the webcam will remain upright. Finally, although the profile is relatively slender, the front lip of the monitor clip and the shell of the webcam descend far enough into the screen that those of you with frameless or bezel-less monitors may lose just a little of screen image near the top (though this is not uncommon for virtually any monitor-mounted webcam). All told, the Brio 100 is a fantastic upgrade for most built-in laptop webcams or those of you with regular Zoom or MS Teams meeting requirements but don’t want to break the bank. If your needs aren’t so modest, you are probably looking for something with heartier specs anyway…for the rest of you, the Brio 100 checks about all the boxes you’ll probably ever want or need at a surprisingly reasonable price point. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

This is a great little camera. Works well and is at a great price point.

I don't need to use often, so wanted an inexpensive camera. Quality exceeds expectations.

Picture quality is good. I am using it from last 1 month no issues till now .

Excellent product. Works well for workplace meetings with Zoom.

Works good for the price. Sits on the monitor ok nice camera

Logitech has been known for their vast line of PC accessories for decades, and has been one of the best selling webcam manufacturers having released various HD webcams for both consumer & business. With the shift to “distributed working,” many professionals are now either traveling for work, or working from home more often. Having a standard built in webcam often leads to blurry or overly processed images that leave a lot to be desired. Welcome the Logitech Brio 100 to the chat! In the box you’ll find the camera with attached (non-replicable) USB A cable, a privacy cover installed, and a simple warranty guide. The camera is plug & play, offers full HD resolution, and also includes a small LED light to let you know when it’s on. It works on both PC & Mac and doesn’t require any additional software to function If you’d like to tweak the picture for the camera, you’ll need to install the Logitech Options+ software, which is free from Logitech directly. As of now, there are still some features “coming soon,” such as change to the auto-exposure, shutter speed, ISO, and eventually you’ll be able to adjust the low-light compensation. The app allows you to toggle the auto white balance (on by default), adjust brightness, contrast, saturation, and sharpness. For those users that require it, you can also toggle between 50hz and 60hz (60 is default). You also have the benefit of using your Logi account to back up your device settings. The attached stand makes it easy to setup on your desk, or mounted above your monitor. I will say this lacks the threading on the stand, so you won’t be able to use some of those fancier camera mounts. However, hanging over my desktop monitor and on my laptop worked without issue, not once shifting around when I would bump into my desk. This device has worked for Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and for those that use it for work Meta’s Workplace Chat application, all without any issues. When you first power the camera on with any of those apps, you’ll notice the camera image adjust automatically to the lighting environment. I did notice that in lower light settings, the camera would automatically adjust the picture to enhance the brightness. This worked well when I had a small key light on, but you’ll notice near black out if you’re in a dark environment. The microphone works extremely well, with others even commenting how clear I sound during conference calls. It worked so well, I made it the default mic, instead of using my headset mic. Overall, the camera offers a great value, given the 1080P resolution, clear microphone, and the privacy slide attachment allowing you to block the camera when not in use. The small form factor makes this easy to stow and go in your every day carry back with your laptop, and the included cable is long enough for most applications. I do wish this offered a USB C option, as my laptop lacks a USB A port, but this was easy to rectify with a USB hub and/or a USB A to C adapter. This is a solid choice for the working professional!

Weird mounting, sticks straight out Instead of sitting on top of the monitor mount and Blocks part of the computer screen at the top

This is really just a refresh of the old C270 camera that was getting a little long in the tooth. The old camera did a perfectly adequate job for things like video meetings. The new camera just takes that formula and adds a couple of improvements. It keeps the same housing, but ups the resolution to full HD, and adds a privacy shutter. Comparing them, the new one has the same list price, but is just a little bit sharper, and has a slightly wider field of view. This is still not a top-notch camera, but you are not paying a top-notch price either. This is for somebody who just wants a web cam for phone calls and video conferences. Although it has a microphone, I strongly suggest using some kind of headset, and no microphone three feet away can do a better job than one two inches away. Not that this has a USB-A cable, but desktop computers should have this. Laptop users probably have a webcam built in. The only real issue is that the case design has not changed in quite a while. When the case was designed, a bezel of around 1/2" was the rule. If your monitor has a very thin bezel then the camera will certainly cover part of the monitor when it is pointed at you. If you angle it up, the occlusion is reduced to 1/4" but that can still be a problem for some monitors. Other than that, this is a great budget camera.

Logitech has always made solid computer products. We started doing more zoom/teams meetings at work. I have computer monitor that has a built in webcam, which works okay but not great. This webcam is way better in every way. I was able to try this out with a recent zoom meeting. In zoom I found a setting to change the camera to HD as it wasn't already setup for that in zoom. When I made this change the clarity was great and looked so much better than my prior camera. My office has no natural light and the overhead lights are not great. The built in webcam on my monitor was not able to compensate for this bad lighting in my office. The Brio camera was able to adjust the lighting and make my face be fully visible. The microphone worked as anticipated, just make sure you slide the camera cover fully to the right to not cover the microphones. Setup was very easy as you just plug it into the USB port and windows does the rest. I do also have the Logi Options + software on my computer. This software allows you to make adjustments brightness, saturation, etc. Overall this is a solid webcam that is very portable and has great video quality. If I needed a second one I wouldn't hesitate to select this one because of the price point and how well it works.

The Brio 100 is a rather cute-looking webcam. It’s certainly compact. It’s also well-built. The hinges have decent resistance and do not wobble. This is all great, but once I placed it on top of the monitor or my laptop’s screen, I immediately had an issue. Unfortunately, the camera itself extends too far down, obstructing the screen. This may not affect anyone with thick bezels, I was also surprised that there was no tripod support, which might’ve helped. The privacy shutter was a welcome feature. The good news is that the picture quality is pretty good. I did notice some noise, especially in darker areas. The light adjustment works well but takes some time to adjust when the light source suddenly changes. The picture is on the warm side, and thankfully there wasn’t much oversaturation. The angle is good and there was no warping on the corners. The microphone picks up nicely at about 3-4 feet and will work in a pinch, but I would rather recommend a dedicated mic or headset. This webcam is also compatible with the Logi Options + app, offering some adjustments. Now, keeping in mind that this is a budget-friendly webcam, I think it’s a decent 1080p option.

I've been using Logitech's C270 webcam at home for the past few years and never really thought about upgrading until I saw the new Brio 100, the company's new entry into the budget webcam market. Of course, there has been an influx recently of new webcams at all price points due to people working from home (myself included). While the Brio 100 might not be as flashy as some of the premium options, there's a good chance that it will be the only webcam you'll need for many years to come. === PROS === - Like any webcam, the Brio 100 is incredibly easy to set up. The attached USB-A cable is 3 feet long, which is just long enough to reach the USB hub on my desk. It works perfectly with Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Cisco Webex, and every other Windows application that I've used. - You can adjust webcam options through the Logitech Options+ app, which allows you to adjust white balance, image brightness, contrast, saturation, and sharpness. There is an area to adjust exposure settings and low light compensation, but that area of the Options+ app say "Coming Soon." - This is a 1080p webcam, which is a nice upgrade over other webcams in this category. Compared to the 720p resolution of my C270, video appears a bit sharper and more detailed. - There is a built-in privacy shutter that easily slides left and right. This definitely beats the piece of black tape I previously used to cover my old webcam when not in use. - The microphone is pretty good - better than my C270 but obviously not as good as some high-end webcams or dedicated microphones. It seems to capture my voice with no issues and without any distortion. I haven't had any complaints on my many Teams calls so far. ===CONS=== - The USB-A cable is not detachable, which makes traveling with the Brio 100 a bit of a pain. Similarly, I wish the cable was USB-C. If your laptop only has USB-C ports (like one of mine), then you'll have to use an adapter. - Logitech says that the Brio 100 has "RightLight technology" that automatically boosts brightness in low lighting. It works to an extent, but I've noticed the image flicker a bit as the webcam tried to adjust to the proper brightness. It eventually settles on a decent brightness, but my recommendation would be to use this webcam in a well-lit room. In a dark room, the image looks dull and washed out. - I love the privacy shutter, but you need to remember to slide the shutter far enough over so as to not cover the microphone (directly to the right of the camera lens). If you leave the shutter over the microphone, people will have a very hard time hearing you (I've already made this mistake twice). ===OVERALL=== Minor gripes aside, this is a great webcam for the vast majority of people. It's a nice upgrade over an old 720p webcam and has some very nice customization options through the Options+ application. The privacy shutter is also a very nice addition at this price range. Power users, YouTubers, and streamers will probably want to look at other, more premium options. But for everyone else, there's a lot to like about the Brio 100.

My last stand-alone webcam (from Logitech) was spirited off to a college campus a few years ago, never to return. Luckily, every laptop, iPhone, and iPad comes with one, so those needs were fortunately covered throughout the pandemic period when video conferencing of various sorts were de rigueur for the times. Now, in an attempt to utilize a nice comfy chair in front of a speedy, new desktop computer that needn’t be concerned with a battery charge, like portable devices, the Brio 100, at less than half the cost of my previous camera and at the same resolution and relative size, can replace it. This newer, USB-A equipped camera also has a few new features like the auto brightness function and the manual privacy shutter to block the physical lens of the camera when not being used. Back in the days when a tin foil hat would suffice for all your privacy protection, a privacy shutter on a camera you point at yourself would have seemed rather counter-intuitive. But a privacy shutter that only shields video, but does not include audio, seems to be only a half-hearted attempt at thwarting the nefarious out there. I will probably just unplug it when I am not using it. In use, the camera seems to be a little zoomed (it’s a good thing not a bad thing) compared to a new laptop from a major manufacturer that has a lower native resolution. Comparing that 720p camera to the 1080p resolution of the Brio 100 in normal household brightness, surprisingly did not result in that much of a noticeable difference in perceived quality. The foreground image is very much in the dark on the Brio, when there is a bright background like a window, in comparison to the laptop’s camera. However, when you move around in the frame, the automatic brightness adjustment in the Brio will salvage a good image, providing you can stay in that location within the frame. In a more ideal, normally lit environment, the Brio’s performance improves considerably. RightLight is the technical trade-name that Logitech has applied to its ability to brighten up or even up a normally darker image with shadow-brightening capabilities to make you look more evenly lit on your next video communication. If you want to touch up that image further, you can also manually adjust brightness, resolution, and other settings for both video and the camera function with the Logitech Logi Options+ app. The app also manages functions for a variety of Logitech’s other products such as webcams, keyboards, mice, and other products. When perusing Logitech’s website to see how the Brio 100 fits into the product lineup, I was shocked to see the sheer quantity of webcam models on offer. Why so many? What makes them different enough to keep all of these models in the sales channel? I don’t know the answer beyond perhaps the physical attributes that allow certain models to fit in different physical locations. But, if I was again in the market for a webcam, I would probably buy the Brio 100, as it is relatively small, has good video performance, and has a reasonably low cost.
