Who it is for
The Brio 100 is the webcam to buy if you work from home, take a few client calls a week and want to look clearer than your laptop camera allows, without spending £50. It plugs in, Teams, Zoom and Google Meet pick it up straight away, and the sliding shutter means you never have to wonder whether it is on.
If you run workshops, record video or present on camera every day, look at the Logitech C920 instead. The reasons are in the comparison below.

Pick the Brio 100 if you sit at a desk at a fixed distance, wear a headset for calls and mainly want better light than a laptop camera. The narrower view also shows less of the room behind you, which suits a spare bedroom office.
Pick the C920 if you move around, hold things up to the camera (autofocus keeps them sharp) or want to fit a second person or a whiteboard in the frame.
The limits worth knowing
- Fixed focus. Everything at normal desk distance is sharp, but anything you hold close to the lens will blur.
- 58 degrees is tight. Good for a head-and-shoulders shot, not for showing a room.
- The mic is fine for quick check-ins. For long client calls a headset or a USB mic will sound much better than any webcam mic.
- USB-A only. On a USB-C-only laptop (most recent MacBooks) you need an adapter or a dock such as the Anker 8-in-1 USB-C dock.
Getting the best picture for client calls
- Light your face from the front. RightLight brightens a dim room, but a window or lamp in front of you does more than any setting. Avoid a bright window behind you.
- Put the camera at eye level. Clip it to the top of a monitor, or raise a laptop on a stand such as the Babacom laptop stand so you are not filmed from below.
- Sit about an arm's length away. With fixed focus and a 58 degree view, that gives a sharp head-and-shoulders frame.
- Close the shutter between calls. It is the simplest privacy habit you can build.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Logitech Brio 100 good enough for client video calls? Yes, for most freelancers. 1080p with auto light balance is a clear step up from a typical laptop camera, and it works with Teams, Zoom and Google Meet without extra software.
Does the Brio 100 have autofocus? No. It is fixed focus, which is sharp at normal desk distance. If you often hold documents or products up to the camera, the C920's autofocus is worth paying for.
Does it work with a Mac? Yes, macOS 10.15 or later. It uses a USB-A plug, so a USB-C-only Mac needs an adapter or dock.
Is the built-in microphone any good? It is a single mono mic, fine for short calls. For long calls with clients, a headset will sound clearer and cut out room echo.
Does it have a privacy cover? Yes, a sliding cover is built into the front, so the lens is physically blocked when you are not on a call.
