Before you choose

Logitech Brio 4K

The catch: Brio is a family name: confirm the 4K model, not Brio 100 or 300.

Check first:

  • A USB-A port on your computer

Logitech StreamCam

The catch: Its attached USB-C cable needs a USB 3 port for full video. On a computer with only USB-A ports, add a USB-C to USB-A adapter that carries USB 3 data, then choose the mode in OBS.

You need:

  • A USB 3 port (5 Gbps)

Check first:

  • A USB-C port on your computer

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.

Logitech StreamCam

StreamCam
A USB 3 port (5 Gbps)
A USB-C port on your computer
  • 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 is fixed and ends in USB-C. A computer with only USB-A ports needs a USB-C to USB-A adapter.
