What else each needs
Logitech Brio 4K
Brio 4K
A USB-A port on your computer
A tripod or arm with a 1/4-inch screw
- Check first: A USB-A port on your computer. The cable in the box is USB-C to USB-A. If your computer only has USB-C ports, use a USB-C to USB-C cable instead.
- Optional: A tripod or arm with a 1/4-inch screw. For a position the monitor clip cannot reach.
Elgato Facecam 4K
Facecam 4K
A USB 3 port (5 Gbps)
A USB-C port on your computer
A tripod or arm with a 1/4-inch screw
- You need: A USB 3 port (5 Gbps). On a USB 2 port it falls back to lower modes. USB-C is a plug shape, not a speed, so check the port itself.
- Check first: A USB-C port on your computer. The cable in the box has USB-C at both ends. If your computer only has USB-A ports, you need a USB-C to USB-A cable rated for the same speed.
- Optional: A tripod or arm with a 1/4-inch screw. For a position the monitor mount cannot reach.
