I reviewed the Logitech MX Brio 705 for Business - and this AI-powered 4K business webcam has every feature I need for the office

I'm writing this article in June 2025, and with all that I do, I have never had more virtual meetings in my average workday than I do today. I constantly jump between virtual meetings, in-person meetings, projects, tasks, phone calls, Slack, and more. However, a large portion of many people's day-to-day lives is spent on virtual meetings. It expanded during the COVID-19 pandemic out of necessity. As of 2025, most meetings default to virtual unless otherwise specified. I experienced this today with a client meeting. They assumed we were meeting virtually through my plan, so I headed to them to meet in person.

The reality is that businesses, for the most part, need to be hybrid and flexible. That's where a quality webcam comes into play. Suppose your first impression, handshake, and first words were vital in an in-person interaction. In that case, your camera presence, clarity, and ability to articulate as though you were in the same room are of the highest priority. For me, the Logitech Brio 705 did just that. It elevated my otherwise mediocre virtual presence, which was limited to my main desk, to a whole new level.

Logitech MX Brio 705: Pricing and Availability

The Logitech Brio 705 for Business retails for just under $200 and is available at Logitech, Best Buy, Amazon, and many other retailers. If you are looking for this device to be on a corporate machine that you have control of, it may make sense to sign up for Logitech Sync as well, so it notifies me if anyone is struggling.

Logitech MX Brio 705 for Business: Unboxing & first impressions

One of the first things that I noticed about this camera is that it has a dial on the front around the camera itself to physically close the shutter. Now I have never been the kind of person who would put a camera cover on my MacBook Pro, but I do appreciate seeing camera covers on laptops, and now in webcams. I've heard enough horror stories and rumors to make me feel like that is a good idea to keep things covered up just to protect privacy and help put my mind at ease.

After that revelation, I noticed that the setup is super simple, with a multi-functional base, plus a single cable. The base is great because if you don't need it, it magnetically pops off. This is great for those setups that have a mount. But, for those who don't have a fancy mount in their setup, the base is a great option, allowing you to place the camera on just about any monitor shape or size, or on top of a lightbar from just about any brand if they follow the classic BenQ styling.

Logitech MX Brio 705 for Business: Design & Build Quality

The design is sleek, it's professional yet stylish, and it looks great for just about any workspace. I've had this set up at my home office, in my product shoot area, in a more traditional "office" space, and it's also small enough that I took it with me on a trip in my backpack so that I could keep great video quality away from my desk.

I'm a really big fan of darker tech, especially the graphite colorway that Logitech used for this camera, so that design choice scores high in my book. Another thing that I have recently been playing with is mounting gear in my setup with my MonoBlocc mounting grid behind my main monitor, the BenQ MA320U, in my home office.

With this mounting system, I was able to remove the base of the camera and add a perfectly placed camera shot up and above my monitor, right by a light bar, to give me the perfect angle every time. And, since the base is magnetic and easy to add back on, when I took this camera off of this workspace and moved it to others I could use the highly adjustable base to make it work just about anywhere.

Logitech MX Brio 705 for Business: In use

For my use case, I have chosen to allow for the re-framing feature, but I slowed it down. I frequently stand at my workstation and when I stand I move around a bit. When it's just me on camera, it's not distracting, but if my camera is constantly re-adjusting to find me and zoom in and zoom out and so on, it's a bit ridiculous.

So, I slowed down the reframing, and that seemed to do the trick beautifully. Personally, I don't have many use-cases for show mode, but I could see this super helpful for those who are physically drawing things, are showing what they are working on, or if you are teaching then this feature could be super nice to be able to better showcase to your online viewers what's going on.

I've noticed that the mics work better than I expected. For years, I was an AirPod-only kind of person for virtual meetings, but as webcams like this have gotten better, for quite a few meetings, I have used the webcam mic. So far, I've heard only positives about the clarity of my audio. I have yet to have anyone mention that it's muffled, unclear, faint, or poor.

One downside for Windows users that I have noticed is the lack of ability to sync with Windows Hello, meaning you'll have to use your laptop's camera for this feature or utilize another login method when docked. It's a bummer for sure, but I also understand why Logitech didn't want to go through that certification process.
