Logitech Introduces MX Brio, Its Most Advanced Webcam Designed for the Evolving Ways of Working and Streaming

[TheLostSwede]

Today, Logitech unveiled MX Brio/MX Brio 705 for Business, a revolutionary high-end webcam for end users and enterprises, designed to meet the demanding needs of advanced users. MX Brio is Logitech's most advanced webcam yet and joins the Master Series ecosystem alongside MX keyboards and mice to deliver outstanding performance and streaming experiences, while fostering quality collaboration. The Ultra HD 4K webcam helps creative professionals and developers elevate their virtual presence and efficiently share results and ideas.

"We know that MX users collaborate and communicate from many different environments, and need a versatile webcam offering the best video and sound quality," said Anatoliy Polyanker, General Manager of the MX Business at Logitech. "MX Brio is our highest quality webcam, featuring customization and the ability to show themselves or their work in the best possible way."




MX Brio's Ultra HD 4K resolution and advanced webcam sensor demonstrates Logitech's continuous innovation with 70 percent larger pixels than the Brio 4K, our previous flagship webcam, offering an ultra sharp image. AI-enhanced image quality takes auto light correction further with face-based image enhancement that provides a more natural image, and video with 2x better face visibility and 2x finer image details in difficult lighting conditions compared to Brio 4K.

Advanced customization options allow users to fine-tune their appearance by manually adjusting exposure, tint, vibrance, field of view and more using Logi Options+, Logi Tune, and G HUB software. Show Mode makes it easy for users to share sketches or other physical objects on their desks by simply tilting the webcam. MX Brio also has two beamforming mics to reduce background noise so you can be heard clearly and an integrated privacy shutter. RightSight autoframing feature, which detects and centers on the speaker even as they move around, can be enabled through Logi Tune for enterprise customers with MX Brio 705.

For IT teams outfitting employee workstations and home offices, MX Brio 705 for Business, the plug-and-play enterprise model, is compatible with most video conferencing platforms, and is certified for Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, and Zoom, and works with Chromebook. Additionally, IT admins can update firmware and troubleshoot problems for their hybrid teams securely via web-based device management platform Logitech Sync.

Approach to Sustainability
MX Brio aligns with Logitech's goal to create product experiences that improve people's lives. This means considering environmental and social impacts as part of every design decision. The webcam is certified carbon neutral, like the rest of Logitech's products, and the paper packaging comes from FSC -certified forests and other controlled sources. The plastic parts in MX Brio include certified post-consumer recycled plastic to give a second life to end-of-use plastic from old consumer electronics - 82% for Graphite and 75% for Pale Grey.

Pricing and Availability
MX Brio, available in Graphite and Pale Grey color options, is available in March 2024 on www.logitech.com and at other global retailers for a recommended retail price of $199.99 in North America and €229 in Europe.

MX Brio 705, available in Graphite, can be ordered here and through authorized resellers for $199.99.

I wish expensive webcams like these would integrate Windows Hello

It's surprising since the previous Brio 4K camera had it.

I guess this one costing just $200 isn't enough to cover the cost of IR module.

I own a Razer Kiyo Pro webcam. I use it less than once a year. It workes fine with OBS to take a movie of the 3D Prints i do. I don't use the webcam for something else. I will keep at my webcam as i know that this cam is able to be combined with OBS. I did search a longer time to get that one. Also the older logitech Brio was on my list. But it is too wide and it is not verified (for me) if it works together with obs. Also the razor works fine with Linux.

OBS = Open Broadcaster Software

Pretty much any USB webcam works with OBS.

And if you have no need for one, why are you even complaining about it here?

Where did i write something about complaining? I only mentioned that I highly probably don't get a new one when i need the old one once a year. Problems with selective reading? Do you read what you think that should stand there instead of what is written? That Razer blablabla Cam works fine for me and fulfill all my needs. If the presented Logitech cam also behave that way is (for me) unknown. I don't see why i should complain about anything. I'm fine with my cam.

Btw.: The webcam has to work with OBS at Linux.

Ugh, that is super disappointing. The Hello support of the Brio 4k is probably my favorite feature of that camera (it allows me to avoid having to type in the absurd password to my corporate laptop 10 times per day.) It is strange to me that there are so few cameras which support this great feature.

 

[Leiesoldat]

Whelp looks like I'll get the Dell webcam that has Windows Hello functionality. The sole reason I got the Brio 4K was for that feature. I don't understand why Logitech would think to ditch that feature when they're billing this as meant for business.

The Brio 4K was also $200 when it launched, in 2017 I believe.

Very disappointing that this new one doesn't support Windows Hello. I don't remember the last time I had to use a PIN code to log into my PCs. Not my desktop or my laptop, and I'd like to keep it that way.

 

[trsttte]

Uff, it might look great but it's still a webcam and spending 200$ for one is pretty nuts. I've been looking to buy something decent as I'm tired of the laptop looking into my nose look but no way i'd spend that much. I could buy a cheap smartphone, or even a refurbished iphone for that matter, to have as a dedicated webcam and would still save money.

Will there ever come a time where something as mundane as webcams start being priced reasonably!?

 

[chstamos]

Add me to the chorus : a 200 dollar webcam without hello is beyond pathetic.

How did you come to conclusion this cam doesn't support Hello Windows?

 

[bubbleawsome]

How did you come to conclusion this cam doesn't support Hello Windows?

The mini-review and PR blurb both don’t mention it, and the hardware on the cam doesn’t look like it has it vs my 2017 Brio 4k which does. It would be weird for them not to mention it in a business focused PR bit too. I’d bet it doesn’t.
