A better way to video call

Webcams let you see and talk to your friends and family—wherever they are. But with most webcams, you need to wear a headset or you’ll get a distracting echo.

Neither option sound appealing? With Logitech RightSound™ technology, you can avoid both. Acoustic echo cancelation software means the whole family can gather around and have a more natural conversation—without passing around a headset.


See all webcams with RightSound™ technology.

The echo explanation

You’re on a video call with your friend. You’re both using webcams with integrated microphones and typical computer speakers. Here’s where the trouble happens:

Your friend says something to you. His voice is captured by his microphone and sent to your speakers. But then your microphone picks up his voice from the speakers and sends it back to him as an echo—which can really ruin a conversation.

The RightSound™ fix

You use a webcam with RightSound technology. The software identifies the sound wave featuring your friend’s voice as it comes through the speakers. When your microphone picks it up, the software filters out the repeated wave so it doesn’t get sent back to your friend. And that means they don’t hear an echo.

Two-way talk

Other webcams eliminate echo by muting your microphone when the person on the other end is speaking. It’s kind of like talking on a walkie-talkie—not a very natural way to have a chat. RightSound technology doesn’t mute your mic so you can both talk whenever you want. It makes your video calls just like talking to someone in the same room.

What makes a Logitech® webcam better?

It's Logitech Fluid Crystal Technology. Now with every Logitech webcam.

What is it? Fluid Crystal is a proprietary algorithm that automatically adjusts the frame rate, color and sharpness to provide the best possible picture and motion.

Good light? Bad light? It doesn't matter. Fluid Crystal can help make every lighting situation better, so you can focus on what really matters—connecting with your loved ones.
Lighting up your video calls  

Lighting up your video calls—in every situation

You probably make a video call in good lighting most of the time. When you do with a Logitech webcam—thanks to Fluid Crystal—your video will look smooth and sharp, rich and clear. 


But sometimes good lighting can be tricky to get right. With Fluid Crystal, bad lighting won’t stop you from making a good video call. Making a video call in a low-light living room? Have a bright kitchen window behind you? Don’t worry.

Fluid Crystal gives you what you need to make your video calls (and recorded videos) better.

  • Smoother video motion, without annoying choppiness, in real-world conditions
  • Sharper pictures, so your videos will look more detailed, more real, more true to life
  • Richer colors, so you’ll look more natural during a video call (and when you record a video or take a pic)
  • Clearer sound, so you’ll sound more natural, too And it’s now in every Logitech webcam.*

Not your average webcam

The quality of your video call depends in part on the quality of your webcam. Even if the lighting, the connection and the computers involved are ideal (and no one moves around much), any old webcam can make video calling a frustrating experience. And most of the time people use their webcams in less-than-perfect situations. Other webcams (for example, the one built into your laptop) try to adjust for poor lighting—but can produce choppy video, muted color and fuzzy images.

We know that in the real world you don’t have a fancy Hollywood production crew lighting your video call. You shouldn’t have to. We’ve done it for you.

We tune each of our webcam components—from the lens stack to the frame rate to the color saturation ratio—so that your video calls are natural, without artificial color, annoying choppiness, pixelation or other frustrations. (And you’ll never need to worry about how the multi-element lens stack is designed, or how many times an image refreshes per second, or how much time our engineers spend tuning the hardware and the software.)

 Not your average webcam
Real difference for the real world  

Real difference for the real world

Joy. Laughter. Tears. There’s nothing like seeing your loved ones face-to-face. To be there—with the people you really care about, the people you work with, the people that you need to look in the eye, even though they may be on the other side of the world.

And thanks to Logitech Fluid Crystal Technology, the video calls you make with a Logitech webcam will be smoother and sharper, richer and clearer in what we like to call real-world conditions—yours.
