Logitech MX Brio review: The new benchmark for webcams, but the six-year-old Brio 4K is still better in one area

[Windows Central]

The new Logitech MX Brio is the first new premium webcam from Logitech in years, and it's great... though it's missing a feature from the aging Brio 4K.

If this webcam had Windows Hello, I'd probably keep using it. As it stands, though, I'll be returning to the OBSBOT Tiny 2.

Yeah, I was excited to see a successor to my BRIO 4K and was prepared to grab it. But after reading your review, I can't justify it without Hello support. What's Logitech thinking in removing that signature feature?

(I suppose I could keep the BRIO 4K just for Hello and then add the new MX Brio for webcam, but that seems wasteful. Plus, I already have a second webcam facing in the other direction, does Windows even support 3 cameras?)

I know that there were a lot of problems with Hello support under Windows 10 with the BRIO 4K. Logitech blamed MS and MS blamed Logitech. Maybe that left a bad taste for Logitech and so they just dropped it. BUT, I never had any problems with Hello support by the BRIO 4K after upgrading to Windows 11. That fixed it for me.
