  • Auto Light Correction (RightLight 4): RightLight 4 video lighting technology automatically adjusts to the lighting in your environment, so you can be seen clearly even in low light
  • Auto-Framing (RightSight): Auto-framing (1)(3) centers the video camera on you, allowing you to stand and move during meetings without leaving the frame
  • Show Mode: Present your work or other objects on your desk with Show Mode, which lets you tilt the web camera up or down with one hand

The Logitech Brio 500 is a solid webcam for office use. It offers a great look to it that’s also environmentally conscious, as well as some good software integration, even if Logi Tune feels a little lightweight at times. Video output is largely great too, with the tried-and-tested combo of 1080p/30fps offering solid results in testing. Streamers may want to look elsewhere though, especially with a webcam that offers a higher frame rate.
