![]() At £139, the Logitech StreamCam sits at the higher end of the market and at the higher end of Logitech’s own webcam range with only the Logitech Brio Stream and Logitech Brio Ultra HD Pro Business Webcam being more expensive. The Logitech StreamCam is a relatively recent addition to Logitech’s webcam range, with a release date of 11 February 2020. Logitech StreamCam review: price and release date Fortunately, Logitech had a webcam that was perfectly suited for both, in the form of the Logitech StreamCam and so it was almost impossible to get hold of for much of 2020 but many retailers have it in stock now – and not for 200% above its RRP! The StreamCam is in our current list of best webcams so let’s see what it’s like. Until Logitech is clearer about its software plans for its webcams, know that your experience with its webcams will vary wildly depending on the computer that you use.Then 2020's "strange times" happened and suddenly everyone wanted a webcam again, whether for live streaming or to avoid hours of hunching over a laptop webcam for work Zoom meetings. This problem will spread, by Logitech’s choice, to Windows and other Intel-based Macs later in 2022. Right now, this means if you own an M1 or M2 Mac, you can’t get the most out of your Logitech webcam. It has a support page that instructs all users to download Logitech G Hub, and it instructs users to uninstall Logi Capture. Logitech recommends that you download and install Logitech G HUB if you want to adjust compatible webcam settings.” In its latest patch notes for the software for both Windows 10 and several macOS versions, it says, “This is the final version of Logitech Capture and no new software updates will be available. As of the latest update, Logitech has sunset the Capture app entirely for Windows computers and older Intel-based Macs. This software problem is an issue for newer Macs right now, but it’s about to be an issue for a lot more users very soon. However, camera and video settings are supported in our Logitech G HUB software and on Logi Tune for macOS.” Spokesperson Christian Cooper told The Verge that “There are currently no plans for Logi Capture to support M1 or M2 chips. Someone even succeeded with a workaround to get a previous version of Logitech Capture software working on an M1-equipped machine. There are plenty of posts on Reddit about this, too, and plenty of people working on solutions that Logitech hasn’t itself presented. This stuff isn’t super apparent unless you’re using an affected computer. What that means is people who own an M1 or M2 Mac cannot utilize its face-tracking feature or switch between horizontal or vertical orientations on a nice, relatively high-end webcam like the $160 Logi StreamCam. You can access basic settings, like the ability to zoom in for a tighter crop or make a host of adjustments to the picture settings (or set them to auto settings), but you can’t adjust the frame rate or the resolution. ![]() Logi Tune, Logitech G Hub, Logitech Capture G Hub was built for gamers who want to tweak RGB lighting and sensitivity settings for gaming-focused products and, now, webcams.Įach app’s interface looks different and lets you switch different settings, so you’ve got a choice with which app you use, but neither offers as many options as Logitech Capture. ![]() Tune is a confusing app that lets you toggle settings for Logitech gadgets, with calendar integration added in, for some reason. Instead of offering Logitech Capture, its de facto software focused squarely on webcam settings and content creation features, it has two distinct and lesser Mac applications to choose from: Logi Tune and Logitech G Hub. Logitech switched up its software plan for people who use newer Mac laptops and desktops without making much effort to tell anyone. That’s because its most capable webcam software, Logitech Capture, isn’t available on computers with Apple silicon. Plugging one into any M1 or M2 Mac for a video call isn’t an issue, but if you want to tweak in-depth settings or use some of these webcams’ highlight features, doing that right now ranges from clumsy to impossible. ![]()
