How to set up the Logitech Brio 505, from unboxing to a working test. It's a USB webcam: plug it into your computer and it shows up as a camera in any meeting app.
Before you start: check the box
- Brio 505 with attached USB-C cable
- Mount clip with removable mount adapter
- User documentation
What you need
- Ports on the Brio 505: USB-C plug-and-play (attached cable, 1.5 m).
- A computer with a free USB port (or the USB adapter in the box). Plug directly into the computer rather than through a hub where possible.
Step by step
-
Connect it. Connect the USB cable to the computer; it powers the Brio 505. Plug straight into the computer rather than a hub where you can.
-
Set up USB mode. Connect the Brio 505 to the computer by USB. In Teams, Zoom or Meet, open the device settings and select the Brio 505 as the camera.
-
Update the firmware. Update to the latest firmware before you go live. See Updating the firmware below.
-
Make a test call. Join a test meeting, check you're centered and well lit in the preview, and ask the other side whether video and audio are clear.
Updating the firmware
Update to the latest firmware before you go live, using the manufacturer's app or the device's settings.
Tools:
-
Logitech Sync Portal (cloud): inventory, remote settings, firmware updates and Local Network Access toggling for room devices
-
Don't unplug power or USB while an update runs.
-
Close Teams, Zoom and other apps that use the device before updating it from a computer.
-
In a big rollout, update one device first, check the picture, then roll out to everyone else.
