Logitech Brio 300 Full HD 1080p Webcam with Privacy Shutter, Noise Reduction Microphone, USB-C, Certified for Zoom, Teams, Meet - White

When my laptop camera started getting fuzzy around the edges, I needed a separate camera for Zoom calls and Google Meet. This is a good, inexpensive model that works well. You just plug it into your laptop port and balance the camera on top of the monitor part of the laptop. It has a support that you can adjust so it won't fall off under normal use. The images are clear and sharp again, and I use it all the time. Thanks, Logitech.

Great cheap clear, easy to use computer camera, compatible with my gaming computer, small footprint and works like a charm. I use it for discord to chat with my kids and play games with them. Exactly what this old man got it for. Oh yeah, it has a cover as well so can close the screen access pretty easy.

It's small and pretty. It's easy to set up, just plug into your USB C port and it's good to go. The clamp could be much better though since it just relies on leaning against the back of your monitor as opposed to actually gripping on, so it will fall off if bumped. The ability to turn the camera off with the flip lid is also great for added security. The image and mic are both clear and I have had no issue so far. When you preview your image it will only show your image as mirrored and there is no way to change that view however, when you are actually using it, your image is not mirrored. Lastly, the booklet doesn't tell you, and it is actually quite hard to find, that Logitunes is the Logitech program that is compatible with the Brio 300 if you want to sync it to your email or calendar and even then it can only be connected to Outlook. However, that isn't a feature that seems necessary.

I purchased this camera to be a lower cost Brio that was less sophisticated than the ones with multiple FoV's while still being full-HD (1080p) and USB-C (to be maximally compatible with my hardware setup). I also liked that it takes up minimal space on the top of my screen (hardly encroaches on my screen's bezel). Generally speaking, it works well -- I am happy with the video and audio quality and how well it fits on top of my screen, and I do not notice any issues with the autofocus (it seems to quickly focus and achieve a good picture, and color looks fine by default but seems easy to adjust using macOS or Logitech tools). I am not sure how much I like the privacy cover-- it's a little weirder to use than I was expecting. I'm always worried that by opening or closing it, I'm going to accidentally adjust the position of the camera. That said, the camera seems to hold its position pretty well, and so this wasn't a problem. The biggest issue so far is an issue I have with more expensive Brio cameras too. On macOS, the zoom/FoV is never properly set until AFTER I open up a Logitech app, like Logi Tune (which I have loaded into my menu bar for this reason). I purchased this single-FoV camera because I thought that might fix this. With my 3-FoV Brio's that I have elsewhere, I always have to go into Logi Tune and force it to my desired FoV (the intermediate FoV) because the camera will frequently reset to a very tight FoV. To my surprise, this single-FoV does the same thing. When I enter into Logi Tune, it fixes what I assume is a zoom issue (because it only has one FoV). That said, my other Brio devices have trained me well, and it's not that much of a headache. But it would be nice if this fixed it. Otherwise, I might have considered another 3-FoV BRIO. The other thing is that the record light is a little bigger and brighter than it needs to be, but maybe some will like that.

Works great! I guess I shouldn't be surprised as Logitech has that history. Easy to setup in Windows 11 - probably would be the same for any version of Windows. I've used this about 40 times or so since buying it. I have no concerns about it continuing to work. Oh, the noise reduction seems to work without issues also.

It’s a great camera that functions awesome with good quality. I’m glad I bought it!

This is being used with a Mac Mini. I have tested out Teams, Zoom and FaceTime. All work and did not have to install any extra software. Video quality is not bad. It is obviously not a high end, production grade camera - but works perfect for video meetings. I'm using it in a basement with good lighting. Skin tone looks pretty good. Better than my old web cam it replaced by far. The microphone is ok. I'd say it sounds a little "tinny" - but good enough for a video meeting. If you want better audio, I'd recommend a standalone microphone. That said, I will be using the microphone in the camera since I think it sounds fine for meetings.

Technical folks might appreciate this detail. I own many Logitech peripherals and will continue to buy them. This Brio 301, like all the others, is well-designed, well-made, and works great, "plug & play" out of the box. It's just overpriced IMHO. I have some $20 generic 1080p cameras that produce an equal or better image. I needed a USB 3.0 camera and did not want to pay 2x for the Brio 4k. At the time of this review, there really only a handful of true USB 3.0 cameras out there, and the Brio 4k is actually one of the cheaper ones. The need came from the traffic on my Thunderbolt-3 Dock. I have repeated this test on Dell & Lenovo docks, and suspect it would recur on the others. A lot of dock traffic goes back to the computer on the USB 2.0 lanes--not just your keyboard & mouse. Most folks don't notice a performance degradation because it usually handles it pretty well. However, add a HD video stream to the traffic (any make/model HD webcam) and eventually the video stream becomes unstable. If I switch to a USB 3.0 camera like the Brio 4k or Dell UltraSharp 4k going into the dock, I get a crisp 4k image with no freezing or dropped frames because there's more than enough room on the USB 3.0 lanes back to the computer. Plug this Brio 301 into a root USB 3.x port on your computer and run USB Tree Viewer. You will see it is not a USB 3.0 device. The Type-C plug is just a plug, and while it does have much higher power & speed capabilities, few peripherals that use the plug actually use the USB 3.x speed. To be fair, outside of storage and video devices, they really don't need to and that keeps prices down. 1080p cameras generally perform just fine on the USB 2.0 bus, and the Brio 301 is no exception. I was hoping this would be the first true USB 3.0 1080p webcam for under $100, but I was let down. Logitech's description and answers to questions here should be corrected.
