It definitely won’t mess your face up though, which makes it suitable for interviews. It’s excellent at what it does for privacy but not for subterfuge don’t expect to fool anyone into thinking you’re somewhere you’re not using a custom background. The Quality setting is much better at complete background removal. The Performance setting is relatively sloppy and allows minor background exposure I wouldn’t recommend using it. You can adjust whether you want background removal to prioritize CPU usage ( Performance end of slider) or accuracy ( Quality end of slider). It’s a huge improvement over the legendary C920, especially in low/natural lighting. Quite a few other outlets have covered this, but I’ll say it myself: the C922’s picture quality will blow you away. In the latter, you can select from preset or add your own custom backgrounds, in addition to adjusting preference for performance or quality using a slider. Like far too many other OEM utilities, installing Logitech Camera Settings results in an entry being added under the Startup tab in Task Manager, so be sure to disable that so it doesn’t slow your PC down when you’re not using it.ĬhromaCam installs a dummy camera device to Windows that has to be selected in the video/imaging app you’re using for the background removal feature to work (read: Windows sees it as a separate, selectable webcam even though you’re still using the same physical device.) This dummy camera produces output corresponding to the settings within the ChromaCam app itself. Shockingly, aside from a web link, no details about enabling the extra functionality are included the user is left to figure it out on their own.
You can go right ahead and start using the webcam, but accessing advanced settings and enabling background removal require installation of Logitech Camera Settings and ChromaCam by Personify, respectively, from the webcam’s support page. I didn’t even see a driver installation notification. Connecting it to my Windows 3 machine resulted in it being instantly recognized and usable.
Unlike the Stargazer, which uses USB 3.0, the C922 still uses USB 2.0 for connectivity.
The latter uses Intel’s RealSense hardware technology and retails for $149.99 while the former uses Personify‘s ChromaCam software and retails for $99.99.
The 2 major choices on the market for webcams that do background removal are the Logitech C922 Pro Stream and the Razer Stargazer.
