Again, this isn’t really an issue considering it’s a webcam - but it might not be the best webcam for creating dramatic YouTube shorts. I tried playing around with my lighting to see if I could create a more dynamic picture, but RightLight 4 thwarted me at every turn, evenly-lighting me no matter how dramatic I tried to make my lighting.

Unfortunately, RightLight 4 is still trying to do this even in very ideal lighting situations, which is why my well-lit setting looks kind of flat. One of the features Logitech is touting with the Brio 500 is RightLight 4 - the most recent evolution of Logitech’s RightLight technology – which uses face-tracking and other factors to make sure the subject is evenly-lit in less-than-ideal lighting situations. This isn’t really an issue that will concern most people - a flat, evenly-lit image is, for the most part, a best-case scenario when it comes to webcam performance. The Brio 500 does produce a flatter, less-dynamic overall image than other webcams we’ve tested, such as the Insta360 Link.

The Insta360 Link has the best auto-white balance we’ve seen, but the Brio 500 comes pretty close.
