What else each needs

Elgato Facecam Neo

Facecam Neo
A USB-C port on your computer
A tripod or arm with a 1/4-inch screw
  • 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.
  • Optional: A tripod or arm with a 1/4-inch screw. For a position the monitor mount cannot reach.

Logitech MX Brio

MX Brio
A USB 3 port (5 Gbps)
A USB port that fits the cable
A tripod or arm with a 1/4-inch screw
  • You need: A USB 3 port (5 Gbps). A USB 2 port is too slow for it. USB-C is a plug shape, not a speed, so check the port itself.
  • Check first: A USB port that fits the cable. A USB-C cable is in the box; check its other end against your computer’s ports.
  • Optional: A tripod or arm with a 1/4-inch screw. For a position the monitor clip cannot reach.
