The Logitech Brio 4K Stream Edition currently delivers the sharpest picture for both the home office and streaming. The natural colors are pleasing, but movements are a little blurred. The microphone quality is also decent and the many extras ensure the top placement. In addition to a practical cover, the webcam has an infrared camera and is therefore compatible with Microsoft Hello. With the help of the free manufacturer software Logitech Capture, it can also be set extensively – great.
Most current webcams have a resolution of 1920×1080 pixels (Full HD). This is also completely sufficient for video telephony with colleagues or family. But it can be even sharper: With 4096×2160 pixels, the Logitech Brio 4K wants to outperform its competition. But it doesn’t just rely on its video quality for this. Thanks to other extras, it could take the test win among the webcams. Can you do that? The test has the answer.

Stream or no stream
There are two versions of the Logitech webcam on store shelves: the Brio 4K and the Brio 4K Stream Edition. This creates confusion among users. In terms of hardware, both cameras are identical. The Stream Edition only includes a twelve-month premium license for the XSplit streaming program. That alone costs 60 euros. The software is useful for streamers who, for example, work with multiple cameras at the same time. The price difference between the two Brio versions is around 10 euros. We had the Logitech Brio 4K Stream Edition available for testing.
Long and wide
The oval shape of the Logitech Brio 4K doesn’t make the webcam an eye-catcher, but its curves make it look inconspicuous. With the help of hinges, the webcam can be firmly attached to the edge of the monitor and display. However, it lacks a ball joint for flexible alignment. The bracket can, however, be removed and there is a small thread for a tripod on the underside of the webcam. This allows the camera to be placed more freely at the workplace.
If the user removes the bracket, the Brio 4K reveals its tripod thread.
Hello Microsoft
In addition to a practical fabric bag for transport, the scope of delivery also includes an attachable cover. This means that the person filmed can cover the lens and be safe from unwanted looks even when the camera is connected. Another extra is inside: the Logitech Brio 4K is equipped with an additional infrared camera for face recognition. This can be used, for example, Microsoft Hello. This is a login variant for Windows operating systems that does not require a password to unlock. Instead, a fingerprint, voice or face is sufficient to log in. Owners of iPhones know this as Face ID. In addition, the Brio 4K comes with the manufacturer’s own program Logitech Capture compatible, which is also used with the Stream Cam or the C922 Stream Pro. The software offers all kinds of setting options, for example. For example, the resolution and the frame rate can be adjusted. Texts and frames can also be displayed. In addition, the Logitech software can use the “Green Screen” function to replace the filmed background with another image or video. To do this, users sit in front of a green wall, the software can cleanly separate its poison green from the user in the foreground. Gamers use this, for example, to assemble themselves into a running video game.
The Logitech software is very easy to use thanks to the simple slider.
Logitech Brio 4K in the video test
However, the Brio 4K does not require a lot of post-processing by Logitech Capture. In the test it delivered a good picture with strong colors. The image sharpness was convincing in both 4K and Full HD mode. The good autofocus adapts quickly to the position of the user and the person filmed is always clearly recognizable. The webcam only perceives movements somewhat blurred. To counteract this a little, the frame rate can be set to 60 frames per second (F.rames phe S.econd). However, this only works with a maximum resolution of 1920×1080 pixels and a USB 3.0 port. For streamers who want to broadcast video games at a frame rate of 60 fps, this is definitely a sensible option. There are 2 microphones in the Brio for sound transmission. Voices are therefore very easy to understand and only sound a little occupied. However, it is ideally suited for video telephony, there is hardly a webcam with better sound quality.
