Logitechâs MX Brio is a new $199.99 (£219.99 / â¬229) 4K webcam aimed at everyone from remote workers to streamers. Key specs include the ability to stream in 4K at 30fps or 1080p at 60fps, an aperture of f/2.0, and an aluminum unibody design that kind of looks a little like a kazoo if you squint at it.

Logitech’s new MX Brio is a $200 4K webcam with ‘AI-enhanced image quality’
Logitech’s MX Brio is a new $199.99 (£219.99 / €229) 4K webcam. It can stream in 4K at 30fps or 1080p at 60fps and has an aperture of f/2.0.
Since itâs 2024, Logitech is naturally advertising some AI-powered technology in the MX Brio. The webcamâs âface-based image enhancementâ is designed to automatically detect the position of your face within the frame of the webcam and adjust its pictureâs white balance, exposure, and focus accordingly. But there have also been hardware improvements, with the company advertising that the pixels in its new webcamâs 8.5-megapixel sensor are 70 percent larger than Logitechâs previous flagship Brio 4K webcam.
Other features include a physical privacy shutter and a âShow Modeâ that automatically reorients the view from the webcam when titled down to properly show your desk. The webcam is also equipped with a pair of beamforming mics to focus on just your voice during calls and uses a detachable USB-C cable to connect to a computer. However, unlike the previous flagship Brio, thereâs no support for Windows Hello facial recognition, and you also canât record at 4K / 60fps like Elgatoâs competing $299.99 Facecam Pro.
There are also manual image controls available via Logitechâs Options Plus or G Hub software if youâd rather take matters into your own hands, with the ability to adjust elements like the webcamâs field of view, exposure, shutter speed, ISO, color temperature, contrast, saturation, and sharpness. Itâs also possible to access an auto-framing feature on the MX Brio through the Logi Tune software.
Logitechâs new MX Brio webcam is available starting today, where itâll join Logitechâs MX mice and keyboards. Between them, the company is building up quite the MX-branded collection.
