The StreamCam side-steps that problem by ending its cable in a USB Type-C connection. This was a major issue when the Brio launched and led to many people connecting their webcams incorrectly. To make use of the StreamCam’s 60 fps at 1080p, you’ll need a USB 3.0 connection. Much more useful is the second mount Logitech included, which allows you to attach the StreamCam to a tripod. Most streamers don’t use vertical video at all, and for social media applications like Facebook Stories, very few people use anything other than a smartphone. It’s a neat feature that no other webcam I know of is capable of, and makes the StreamCam more versatile – but I’m left wondering who it’s for. The mount that comes pre-attached allows you to position it on the top of your monitor like normal, but it can also be unclipped and rotated to capture vertical video. The StreamCam is flexible in how it can be set up. A larger aperture means it can take in more light and offer better performance in dark settings. The camera’s sensor is still too small to offer the same bokeh you could expect from a nice camera and lens, but that doesn’t mean it’s pointless. The aperture has been lowered to f2.0, which is almost a full stop below the C922’s f2.8. The black version is a better fit, but it’s the first example of some odd design choices Logitech made here.Apart from its look, Logitech has made a number of enhancements to the camera itself. It looks stylish and modern but seems like a mismatch for modern gaming rigs. Instead of the usual flat plastic face, Logitech has trimmed the front with a fabric covering that fits right in with the company’s MX Speakers or the Amazon Echo Dot. It features a boxy design with a larger lens element. The StreamCam is strikingly different from any other webcam in Logitech’s line-up.
