A 1080p USB-C webcam that Wirecutter picked as the best webcam for most people. It plugs straight into a MacBook Pro, but Logitech says its RightSight auto-framing does not work on computers with ARM processors, which includes Apple silicon Macs.

In Wirecutter's blind image comparisons it beat the other webcams in its class, including several 4K models, for skin tones and overall picture.
Logitech lists an attached 1.5 m USB-C cable and macOS support. A MacBook Pro has USB-C or Thunderbolt ports, so no adapter is needed. Wirecutter says it works out of the box on macOS.
Logitech says RightSight auto-framing requires Logi Tune and is not available on computers with ARM processors, and its Brio 500 spec page says RightSight is available only for Windows. Apple silicon Macs use ARM processors, so do not count on auto-framing on a current MacBook Pro. Wirecutter reports that subject tracking worked in Zoom without the software open but does not say which computer it used. Apple lists Portrait mode and Studio Light on a Mac laptop only with the built-in camera or an iPhone.
Logitech supplies a detachable clip for monitors and laptops with a removable mount adapter. Wirecutter found a tripod mount under the magnetic button that holds the camera to the clip, and found that the button can come loose until it is retightened.
