Choose Brio 100 for a USB-A computer and tighter framing; choose Brio 300 for USB-C and a wider view. Both are fixed-focus webcams rated for 1080p at 30 fps. Paying more for Brio 300 should not be based on an expectation of autofocus, 4K or 1080p/60 fps.
We checked Logitech’s current US consumer product specifications and support pages on October 5, 2026. This guide helps you choose the connector and framing for a desk setup.

The differences that affect a video-call setup
| Feature | Brio 100 | Brio 300 |
|---|---|---|
| Computer connection | Attached USB-A cable | Attached USB-C cable |
| Listed video modes | 1080p/30 fps; 720p/30 fps | 1080p/30 fps; 720p/30 fps |
| Focus | Fixed focus | Fixed focus |
| Diagonal field of view | About 59°; US store lists 58° | 70° |
| Privacy shutter | Integrated | Integrated |
| Listed cable length | 1.5 m | 1.5 m |
| Automatic light correction | RightLight 2 | RightLight 2 |
The current Brio 100 US product page and Brio 300 US product page provide these specifications. Logitech’s Brio 100 support specifications give its diagonal angle as 58.9°, rather than the store’s 58°. Treat that as approximately 59° for this buying decision, not as evidence of a new hardware edition.
Which USB connector does your computer have?
Brio 100 is the straightforward choice when an available USB-A port is where you want to connect the camera. Brio 300 is convenient for a USB-C setup. The cables are attached: do not assume either box contains a swappable A-to-C cable or an adapter for the other socket.
If you need an adapter or hub, include it in the total cost and verify that it supports the camera’s data connection. A matching plug shape alone does not establish that your chosen adapter or computer environment will work. We have not tested any adapter or hub combination. Check the 1.5 m cable route from your monitor to the intended port before choosing either model.
Narrow framing or more of the room?
Brio 100 suits a tighter single-person frame. Brio 300’s wider diagonal angle is useful if you want more of your upper body or surroundings in the frame from the same camera position. It also shows more background. This is an inference from the stated angles; we have not compared the exact framing on your monitor at your seating distance.
For document demonstrations close to the lens or frequent changes in subject distance, neither model’s fixed-focus specification establishes autofocus suitability. Choose a camera that explicitly supports the focusing behavior you need. Brio 100 and 300 are separate models from Brio 4K; the family name does not confer the 4K model’s features.
Basic calls and customization have different requirements
Both manufacturer support pages list Windows 10 or later, macOS 10.15 or later and ChromeOS for camera compatibility, with at least 2 GB RAM specified for 1080p streaming. These are camera requirements, not a guarantee that every meeting app or optional customization utility supports the same older operating systems. Check your actual app’s current requirements and select the external camera and microphone in its settings.
The Brio 100 support page lists Logi Options+ support. Logitech’s Brio 300 support page lists Logi Tune and explicitly says Tune is unavailable for ChromeOS. A Chromebook can therefore meet the camera’s basic compatibility requirements without providing that desktop customization software. Do not buy Brio 300 expecting the same utility controls on every platform.
Both have an integrated privacy shutter and a built-in microphone. Their manufacturer microphone-range descriptions differ across store and support pages, so we do not rank them by claimed pickup distance or promise that either replaces a headset in a noisy room. RightLight 2 on both is also not proof of equal results in every lighting condition.
Who should buy each one?
- Brio 100: a USB-A desktop or laptop, one person at a desk, and preference for less background in view.
- Brio 300: a USB-C setup, preference for a wider frame, and interest in its documented Logi Tune support on a suitable desktop platform.
- Choose another specification: autofocus, 4K, 1080p/60 fps or a wider group shot is essential. Neither model should be bought on those assumptions.
Compare current prices on the linked official US product pages, then check your local offer, warranty, returns and any adapter cost. We do not fix a universal price difference or guarantee availability. If you are also assembling a work desk, our MX Keys S vs Mini guide covers keyboard layout and receiver requirements as a separate decision.
FAQ
Does Brio 300 add autofocus?
No. Logitech lists fixed focus for both of these models. Do not transfer autofocus claims from another Brio camera.
Can I swap the supplied USB connector?
The supplied cables are attached: USB-A on Brio 100 and USB-C on Brio 300. If your port differs, separately verify a suitable data adapter rather than assuming one is included.
Does ChromeOS support Logi Tune for Brio 300?
Logitech lists ChromeOS camera compatibility, but its Brio 300 specification explicitly excludes ChromeOS from Logi Tune. Basic camera use and desktop customization are separate checks.
