Logitech has become a household name when it comes to PC hardware, and that's especially true for webcams - just take a look over at our best webcams buying guide, and you'll find more than one Logitech product in there. If you really want a Logi cam for a specific purpose, though, you've come to the right place: these are the best Logitech webcams for all needs and budgets.
From the ever-reliable Logitech C920 - the webcam I've personally used at home for more than six years, its design unchanged for more than a decade thanks to its excellent reliability and ease of use - to high-end professional-grade models like the MX Brio, I've carefully selected only the best webcams for you.
So whether you're looking for a cheap webcam to see you through video calls when you're working or studying from home, or a powerhouse 4K webcam for pro-grade streaming on Twitch or YouTube, I've got you covered. Check our my tops picks below.
The best Logitech webcams in 2024
The Logitech C920 is a beloved favorite across the entire spectrum of streamers, content creators, and office professionals alike. And, when cost, quality, and performance are all calculated, the C920 is still the best webcam you can buy today, despite being released back almost 11 years ago.
With crisp 1080p HD resolution, fantastic lighting and great color reproduction that's on the cooler side, this affordable webcam is a great option for most people – from professionals who need to connect with their colleagues and clients to casual users who want to stay in touch with loved ones. It also has a terrific low-light performance for the price, which makes it ideal for dark offices and dimmer environments (a streamer's RGB-lit setup, for instance). Setup is also a breeze, and it works across various devices, making it very versatile.
If you're looking for something that shoots at a higher frame rate – at 60fps, for example – you might be disappointed at it tops at 30fps at its highest 1080p resolution. So, its picture quality is not going to be as crisp and as smooth. However, to most people, that doesn't really matter. Overall, the sheer quality and features of this Logitech webcam often make much more expensive products not worth the extra cash.

The Logitech HD Webcam C310 is the best blend of budget and quality you can get if you're not looking to splurge on something with more features. This 720p webcam comes with Logitech’s RightLight 2 auto-light correction technology so you’ll always be shown in the best possible lighting regardless of environment.
It packs a 5MP camera, which is honestly great for most budget-minded users who do not really need anything high res – students and casual users looking to connect with loved ones, for instance. As some conference calling software like Google Meets restricts your resolution to 720p anyway, this could also be the perfect home office webcam.
It's unlikely you'd want to use this for streaming, however. Being budget, there are quite a few concessions here. And, you wouldn't want to be rolling out 720p content in this 4K world. However, it's the best Logitech webcam for anyone who just needs a budget Logitech webcam for things like work calls or Zoom chats with family.
The Logitech StreamCam is one of the best Logitech webcams for streamers and online broadcasters who want buttery smooth and high-quality video without the fuss of setting up a mirrorless camera and a capture card. That isn't to say you have to use the StreamCam for Twitch or YouTube.
However, features including auto-focusing, smart exposure, facial tracking, up to 60fps frame rate, and a flippable design so you can take photos and videos in 9:16 format certainly mean it's best utilized by content creators who can take full advantage. You can even mount it on a tripod, and it uses USB Type-C for fast and more efficient video transfer speeds.
Not that regular webcam users shouldn't get it either. It's very easy to use and to setup. Straight from plugging in, you can enjoy Logitechs latest release with minimal (if any) adjustments needed. We even use it for our daily video calls at work. But, it is also a little too pricey and feature-rich for such tasks. Get it only if you can maximize its features or if you've got the extra cash.

An update to Logitech's long-running Brio product line, the MX Brio delivers exceptional video quality thanks to its 4K camera and AI image enhancement features. While it does come with an equally premium price tag, this is a serious webcam for users who want to create streaming content or just look great while video conferencing.
The MX Brio comes with a veritable heap of features, from a robust software suite with plenty of customization options to tweak your webcam experience to a beamforming twin microphone array with automatic background noise reduction. It also features 'Desk Mode', which lets you tilt the camera forward to show your work surface - useful for sharing physical documents on camera, although we found it a little wobbly in practice.
Still, if you're on the hunt for a high-end webcam, this is an excellent choice - and it's often available for cheaper than some of the premium competition, like Razer's Kiyo Pro Ultra.

The Logitech C925e Business Webcam is a solid choice for anyone that needs to make calls in an environment where bandwidth is shared. The H.264 with Scalable Video Coding can help minimize dependence on computer and network resources, giving you smooth streams during those important calls.
Given you can't usually set up a professional lighting sig at your office desk, the C925e also has RightLight 2 technology to help you get the most out of any lighting situation. Meanwhile, the 1080p/30 fps video shooting resolution is just what most office professionals need for their daily meetings with colleagues and clients.
However, know that the fixed 78° field of view means that it's best-suited for individuals rather than teams. And, its 30fps frame rate makes it less-suited for streaming and content creation. For most everything else though, including online classes, it's a great mid-range Logitech webcam.
It's a bit of a stretch to put this in your home office, but for small conference or meeting rooms its the perfect choice. The Logitech MeetUp is a professional webcam with an integrated full-range speaker system for great playback clarity and uses Logitechs RightSound technology to effectively capture speech around the room while suppressing unwanted background noise.
The 4K camera can automatically track movement and adjust to find the perfect room framing regardless of how many people like to move around. There's even a 5x HD zoom to make sure the setup is also well-suited for smaller groups or single users.
It's a pricey product, so even if you're a professional, there might be better value options for you on this list. However, for a business that needs to make frequent group broadcasts, the investment should prove itself worthy of such an expense.
How to choose the best Logitech webcam for you
In this bizarre new world of home working, you may feel a little overwhelmed when looking at webcams to buy – after all, all these cheap models on Amazon look the same right?
Webcams are usually marketed with resolution (720p, 1080p, 4K, etc) and framerates because this is the most important factor for most people when buying a product, but there are many other considerations that make a webcam 'good' or 'bad'.
The first thing to consider is what you need your webcam for. For working professionals or office staff, most conference calling software such as Zoom or Microsoft Teams will restrict your broadcast quality to 1080p resolution and 30fps to preserve bandwidth. Google meets goes a step further and restricts your quality to 720p as this is the standard resolution on most built-in laptop cameras.
If you're planning on using a webcam purely for these work-related calls then there isn't any point in buying a powerful 4k model as you simply won't see the benefit. The light and color detection will vary for each model though, so you'll still see a variance in recording quality depending on what webcam you buy.
For content creators such as YouTubers or Streamers, there is a range of powerful webcams available, with some reaching 4K resolution and 60fps for buttery smooth video. These webcams are overkill for occasional use, but with features like a variable field of view (or FOV) and adjustable resolution or and zoom, the extra cash could be a worthy investment in your hobby.
Are Logitech webcams worth it?
Absolutely. While there are other excellent brands that make excellent webcams, on top of newer brands that have popped up, Logitech webcams have become a true go-to – reliable, affordable, feature-rich. The picture quality of these webcams is also great, no matter the resolution, and their build quality is typically great quality.
How to make your Logitech webcam deliver better footage
Even the most expensive webcam can look terrible if you don't take your environment into consideration. Lighting can make a cheap 720p webcam look almost HD, and this doesn't have to make a dent in your wallet.
Natural lighting is prized by photographers for being better than most expensive studio lights, so where possible try and record in front of a window. This will not only illuminate your features and make you pop against your background, but it'll illuminate background 'noise' – the fuzzy static effect seen when webcams are trying to film in low lighting conditions.
You can also replicate this using studio lights if you work in darker environments away from a window. You can also use cheap desk lamps in a pinch by directing them against a wall to reduce the harshing lighting and create a diffused appearance.
Always make sure your background looks nice. This doesn't mean you need to do anything fancy (unless you're a streamer and have the budget for some fancy LED lights and gamer swag), but you need to make sure you're the focus of the broadcast. Tidy up any mess, don't sit behind an open door and make sure you don't sit behind any other light sources. This will usually throw off the light sensors in your webcam and reduce your film quality.
How we test Logitech webcams
Why you can trust TechRadar We spend hours testing every product or service we review, so you can be sure you’re buying the best. Find out more about how we test.
TechRadar doesn't use any computer programs to benchmark a Logitech webcam as their quality is visually noticeable. Instead, models will be stacked up against products with similar specifications and MSRP to see how they compare, and ran through a few scenarios.
We keep lighting levels consistent and test for well-lit and low-light conditions to put the webcam sensor through its paces. We make note of how accurate the colors are in any recorded footage and the overall clarity of video and photographs taken on the webcam.
We also compare features like field-of-view (often abbreviated to FOV), frame rate and resolution, as well as any software that ships with the product. Operating systems like Windows 10 have a camera application capable of making minimal adjustments to contrast and hue. The hardware itself will also be checked for mounting options and available movement, such as a swivel ball joint or fixed positioning. Finally, any onboard microphone will be checked for clarity and its ability to filter out background noise.
