Last month, I purchase a webcam, but my problem is, my Google Pixelbook Go, does not recognized the webcam. Although my Macbook Pro 16, Lenovo YogaBook, and DELL XPS 13 recognized it. I am challenged to look for a webcam that will work for the Pixelbook Go. Why ? reading all reviews of the Google Pixelbook Go, everyone give me a very good review of camera, just because it is a 1080p camera. But actually, the camera of Google Pixelbook Go is no good.
Since these days, many of us are using our computer online for meeting and education for our children. I am not exempted from it also. My daughter was using her iPad 2018 for her online tutoring, using lighting to HDMI adapter, I connected it to a TV screen, and I also connected it to an external microphone and speaker. But one day, her teacher, went interactive mode, where access was granted to user to input from keyboard, So finally, since my Google Pixelbook Go was bought for evaluation on how Chromebook performs now that you can android apps. I decided to let her used it.
Here comes the disappointing park, her video on Zoom was so bad, and it was so dark, that even i improve the room lighting it is still dark. if Apple Ipad is 100% on video, I will rate Google Pixelbook Go 40%. i don't understand, maybe it is the sensor causing the problem, or it is just bad. So lesson, careful on watching YouTube reviews or reading internet reviews.
Let's get back to Logitech Brio Ultra HD Pro Webcam.
Upon inserting the USB wire (yes, i have to look for an adapter from USB A to USB C) of Logitech Brio Ultra HD Pro Webcam to Google Pixelbook Go, it works immediately, and using the camera apps, I can choose between the internal camera or the Logitech Webcam. I also tried it on ZOOM meeting, and the same thing is available, I can choose the internal camera or Logitech Webcam. It works perfectly, and the video resolution was good, brightness is also very good, and also it have a bigger viewing angle.
I tried it also on my other laptops and it works without any problem.
The only problem of Logitech Brio Ultra HD Pro Webcam is the PRICE. It is pricey compare to other Webcam. I can say it is on Top list when it comes to price. But given now that we are always using online meeting, a good webcam is important.
The Logitech Brio Ultra HD Pro Webcam have a resolution of 4K Ultra HD, 2160p/30 Full HD, 1080p/30 or 60 HD, 720p/30, 60 or 90.
One final comment: I wish they included a USB A to USB C adapter.
