Logitech StreamCam reimagines the web-cam for the vlogging and YouTube generation

Dare to stream

If you’re of a certain age and inclination, you don’t want a web-cam for anything as mundane as a video call. Instead, you’ll want to share your passion with the masses on YouTube. Logitech StreamCam (£139) is designed to make getting started with vlogging easy. Plug the thing in via USB-C, attach it to your display, and you can quickly start capturing silky smooth 60fps footage that doesn’t shake when you inconveniently bang the desk during an overly excitable moment. There’s auto-exposure and face-based auto-focus, so you never unintentionally go all blurry and arty either. StreamCam works in portrait too, when you’re creating content for people with an Instagram fetish, or to overlay your glorious visage on a traditional landscape shot when you get two StreamCams going at once. Fame and fortune surely await (or quietly wondering why your ‘ASMR for guinea pigs’ channel hasn’t hit the big time.)

About

I’m a regular contributor to Stuff magazine and Stuff.tv, covering apps, games, Apple kit, Android, Lego, retro gaming and other interesting oddities. I also pen opinion pieces when the editor lets me, getting all serious about accessibility and predicting when sentient AI smart cookware will take over the world, in a terrifying mix of Bake Off and Terminator.

Areas of expertise

Mobile apps and games, Macs, iOS and tvOS devices, Android, retro games, crowdfunding, design, how to fight off an enraged smart saucepan with a massive stick.
