The camera sits inside the chassis, so a rotating privacy shutter inside can cover the camera when you turn a dial on the side. The Brio 500 takes on a more aesthetically inclined form: It’s a thin cylinder made of speckled matte plastic, available in three colors–off-white, a dark graphite, and very light rose.Īt 4.25 x 1.25 x 1.125 inches detached, or 4.25 x 2 x 2 inches with its mounting bracket, its footprint is slightly larger than the c920 series, because it’s much wider and a little taller but the rounded shape and smaller bracket feel less intrusive. The Logitech Brio 500 changes up the look of Logitech’s long-standing c920 webcam, which feels like a huge departure after 10 years with that design. ![]() ![]() In my mind, though, it sets a new gold standard for workers who care about how they look on camera and want a webcam that makes it easy to get the perfect view for Zoom, Teams, or Hangouts.

The slick new cylindrical chassis facilitates some technical improvements, including a detachable mount that lets the camera spin 360 degrees. It also adds a host of improvements, including a new ultra-wide lens that allows for a more adjustable field-of-view with deeper zoom, auto-framing, and HDR support.

The company has managed to retain this status throughout the COVID-inspired work-from-home revolution, even without updating many of its most popular webcams. Logitech is the biggest name in consumer webcams and has been for a long time. ![]() We may earn revenue from the products available on this page and participate in affiliate programs. ![]()
