The Logitech C922 Pro Stream is a real all-rounder which places it at the top of our best webcams list. It might not be 4K, like some others further down the list, but it remains competitive as the price is decent for what you get. First up this is Logitech so the build quality is premium and as a result the image end product is excellent. Yes, you do get 1080p at 30fps or 720p at 60fps, but thanks to the lenses and processing this can look better than other similarly spec-toting webcams out there.

Features like light correction and autofocus make the video quality on this webcam superb and the dual microphones help to create a premium audio experience too. All that comes in a lightweight build that allows this to be easily mounted so it can work in nearly all setups.

It's also worth keeping in mind you get a one-year warranty with this webcam to help set your mind at ease. So if you want to use a webcam for video streaming, video calls and video recording, this will do an excellent job that visibly outperforms most other webcams and certainly most built-in offerings from computers. 

Logitech C922 Pro Stream: Design and features

  • 1080p at 30 FPS or 720p at 30 FPS
  • Light, durable design.

The Logitech C922 Pro Stream is a full HD webcam capable of recording and streaming video at 1080p resolution at 30 frames per second, or 720p resolution at 60 frames per second. This flexibility lets you choose between higher image quality or more fluid motion in the video stream.

To back up the camera, you also get a host of features to improve your streaming and video calling experience. The Logitech C922 Pro Stream supports digital zoom, so you can zoom in on areas of the shot without the image becoming a blurry mess - perfect for showing off your home to your family.

The webcam itself is small and light, with a folding design that means it packs away neatly when you don’t need it, or for travel. It attaches to the top of your monitor or laptop via a clip, but it can also be mounted on a tripod for a more stable set-up.

Overall we like the look of the Logitech C922 Pro Stream - it’s a sleek, professional looking design that would look equally at home on a gaming rig as it would in a business meeting.

Logitech C922 Pro Stream: Performance

  • Autofocus and light correction.
  • Dual microphone for better audio.

The Logitech C922 Pro Stream’s camera has a 78-degree field of view too, so you should easily be able to get two people on screen at a reasonable distance from the camera and the autofocus feature will ensure that everyone is in focus and looking their best. There’s also light correction which alters the image to make sure you’re brightly lit and clearly visible to your audience.

The Logitech C922 Pro Stream also comes equipped with a dual microphone set-up, with one mounted on each side of the camera. Dual microphones capture sound more realistically by pulling it in from multiple angels to recreate the sound pattern on the other side, helping your voice sound more natural than a single microphone can manage.

Logitech C922 Pro Stream: Price

  • $99.99 MSRP.
  • One-year warranty.

The Logitech C922 Pro Stream has an MSRP of $99.99 and can be purchased either directly through the Logitech website, or on various online retailers including Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart. It also comes with a one-year warranty as standard. We’d have liked to have seen a two-year warranty given that some other Logitech models like the Logitech HD C615 come with two years cover, but it’s still not bad.

Considering what you get, the price is extremely competitive and unless you really need to go cheap, we’d recommend spending $30 more than the cheaper models to get the Logitech C922 Pro Stream.

Some users did have issues though, with several noting the presence of black horizontal lines in the recording when using the 60FPS mode. While this is likely a software issue, the fact that multiple users have had this issue.

Should you buy the Logitech C922 Pro Stream?

The Logitech C922 Pro Stream is a powerful yet affordable webcam that offers quality that looks professional without you having to invest in a serious outlay. The dual microphones do well to capture your voice clearly, while the auto-correction features help to make adjustments to your surroundings without you having to do a thing. 

If this product isn't for you

The Razer Kiyo is a more expensive webcam but it justifies its price with a super smooth quality 1080p and 60fps video result. Thanks to auto adjustments for lighting – even in low light – and HDR functionality, the quality is very premium. It's also built to work well across the software from video calling to live streaming on Twitch. Multiple fields of view choices are another useful option that makes this really adaptable.

For the very best resolution, the Logitech Brio Ultra HD Webcam stands out thanks to a 4K UHD sensor, which is ideal for blowing up video feeds on large screens without losing any quality at all. The camera itself is built to a high standard and looks, as well as performs, professionally. Features like autofocus, digital zoom and smart light-adjusting software all make this ideally suited to all environments. They also add up to make this a more expensive option.

For streamers, the Elgato Facecam is a camera built to task with a superb Sony sensor that makes the 1080p and 60fps video of fantastic quality. There is a lack of microphone and this won't autofocus, but then for streamers with a fixed setup and dedicated mic, that's ideal – all the money is going on the video quality instead of those extras. For YouTube and Twitch streamers, this is the webcam for you.
