Logitech C922 Review: Hail to the King

Check it On Amazon: geni.us/C922xAmzn
The Logitech C922 is the follow up to Logitech's famous C920 webcam, and boasts some great new specs.
More Reviews ▶ • Reviews & Unboxings
The Logitech C922 webcam has huge shoes to fill, being an updated version of the incredibly popular C920. This webcam's specs include 1080p 30fps and 720p 60fps, as well as automatic background removal. I found the video quality to be excellent, though at 60fps, the C922 seems to use a strong noise reduction filter that makes the video look strange. The background removal is nice to have, but I didn't find it to work very well, and it kept cutting off my limbs. Overall though, Logitech's C922 is certainly a worthy successor and I'm sure will be the new best webcam for years to come.

I love that you always have the review disclosures, more reviewers should do so. Great video as always!

[@BogieSIX]

THANK YOU for being the only review to mention the difference between the C922 and the C922x. 5:58

[@astrqI]

IM SO GLAD I FOUND THIS COMMENT, I really needed to know the difference 😂

[@rilsen]

Thank you!

[@nybiggs]

Kudos to you for full transparency on your sponsorships and affiliations. Now I know it's no BS and buying through your amazon link helps sponsor this video. The overwhelming majority of people say nothing while hiding their motivations.

[@FrederickDunn]

Ok, I'm getting confused here, what's the difference between the C922 and the C922X ? is there a difference? I can't find a review of the 922X... soooo.... opinions? Thanks

[@onlyasidekick7083]

According to the review, they're the same exact camera - the only difference are the "extras." With the C922 you get the camera, a tripod, and a 3 month premium xsplit license. With the C922x you only get a 6 month premium xsplit license.

[@FrederickDunn]

oOHHHH, THANK YOU so much! I have the 922x now and it's nice... the background removal is poo though.

[@djdashdfw]

Wow as a reviewer you are absolutely perfect. Covered everything without wasting any time.

Not from the webcam. It's from his rendering.

prolly deleted a part in Premiere Pro or whatever he uses

[@johannwilder1437]

This camera is incredible. I am 100% satisfied. I previously had the c615 which not only was horrible in low light, but also could not focus at all-it would literally never focus, even manually. Anyway, I was hesitant to buy another Logitech due to my bad experience. Boy was I wrong. This c922 is so crystal clear. I think it’s even clearer than the C920, based on a few videos I’ve seen. I’m very happy with this purchase.

[@pcsecuritychannel]

I thought about it for a while but ended up going for the c920. The background removal is just a software gimmick and can be purchased separately for basically any webcam. Nice video Joe.

[@kanjo4976]

0:49 aight bro I'll buy it.

[@AhmedKhan-zd2md]

time is traveling forward but am here watching 2016 video now its interesting, well old is gold

[@combatuniverrse]

straight to the point and easy to understand love the review man

[@spiralcat6376]

Love this review. Never seen one of your reviews before but you explain everything I would want to know and in a clear way that keeps this ADD brains attention. Thank you

[@4FShooting]

I have watched several reviews on n this webcam and yours was more clear and informative. Great job!

[@NeptuneDesign]

this is the only review done properly I just watched 6 others. Thank you.

[@12Rosen]

5:48 whenever i hear that iconic microphone quality, i habitually turn my volume down because im ready for the funny mic noises

[@AdamCouser]

Hey dude - What camera are you using in this video?

[@Nuel_7z]

I think he is using the Logitech camera. Because the whole video is based on the camera. Also, the highest quality is 1080p60

[@Funkbutterfly]

@@Nuel_7z nope lol

[@theHerathrig]

I dont know but you can guess maybe a canon g7x mk2 or a sony rx100?

[@zinsy23]

Assuming it's the same one from 4 years ago, it's the Sony FS5

Hey man tysm for testing the mic on the c922 its sounds pretty good. I just ordered the C922

[@DanielDTUBWeinberger]

hahahaha damn it joe 2:28 - 2:34 also that detail removal on the 720@60 is terrifyingly wonderful

[@mjmfrozengoods6215]

Hello. Just wanna ask what will happen after the 3 month subscription ended? What limitation would this webcam have without it? Thank you

[@ravikharb]

Video missing around 2:30

[@ThioJoe]

Crap, oh well you didn't miss anything

[@zinsy23]

Ravi Kharb Yeah I noticed that too, I keep doing that on my videos especially with transitions without realizing it

[@littlepro01games]

ThioJoe we missed your face

[@ThioJoe]

Kaden - It was a glitch in rendering. There was video there on the timeline and should be here, but for some reason Adobe Media Encoder screwed it up. It's done it before and I thought it was fixed, but I didn't catch it this time.

[@riyan3457]

ThioJoe, I actually thought my monitor was not working.... don't give me these scares again because I had bought my monitor yesterday itself! xD

[@nicholletteeast8502]

Thank you for this wonderfully straight forward review. You have helped me a lot on deciding on what to purchase.

[@jackanderson9424]

I want the old videos pack :(

[@thoughtsauce7225]

Can't believe I haven't found this channel. Its great!

[@NixaTek]

Marco Arellano how did you not find it yet comment on this? Magic?

[@jcmichaelw]

Thanks for the review, Thio. I have the C902 that I got years ago, and I was thinking that it's time for an upgrade. Since I only use it for video conference calls, I doubt I will need a camera that supports 4K. Also, I wouldn't use the microphone from it either.

[@ronnieaz33]

All in all a great job of describing this camera. I have a C920 now and like it, but might find that to be a great value to have a camera for each of my computer monitors. I got a pretty good price on the C920 at eBay and will see how much they want for the C922. I really like the software on the C920 and am practicing with it every day. If you haven't done any videos before, it is not as easy to do as it looks. The external microphone seems to be a real improvement even though my C920 is not to bad. this video came in extremely clean on my HP 27 inch monitor. For me the price of any of these cameras is not a show stopper, but even though I like the C920 if the C922 is better might opt for one of them. I have been looking at Green screens at both eBay and Amazon, and they are also pretty affordable to be able to do You Tube Videos.

[@TheLillianYoung]

I had no idea this was so old. No wonder it was on sale. I'm going to return it and see what's new from at least 2018.

[@miriamdavis2988]

i just bought it for my singing videos and then came here, lol glad its a good one.

[@stephanieross7929]

I would love to get the Cam and Mic that you are using it is awesome. Which one do you use? and which Mic thank You.

[@StevenSarver]

Thanks for the review - this helped my decision on purchasing it.

[@professionaleejit5927]

What do you think about it? Is it good?

[@awyeagames]

keep up the nice content :) product reviews are VERY useful. Thanks!

[@Coldsteak]

man i love this new content, keep it up joe

[@PrestonMcNair]

Probably doesn't warrant an upgrade for the regular consumer. Background removal pushes it towards a broadcasting webcam imo. Great specs regardless though.

[@alitheretrokid]

how did you get verified

[@alitheretrokid]

yeah thx for responding

[@dankernon6646]

Need to know the camera you use. It's so good! (keep up the good work)

[@sunkneee]

C920s or c922 for a teacher, doing online classes for students.??

[@RicoTv..]

Does this have a infrared mode on it

[@xkernalsandersx]

Just found your channel today - thanks for the reviews....you helped me make a choice :)

[@Flimzes]

It could be a processing/bandwidth issue causing the softness at 60fps, usb2.0 will be very hard pressed to get any more than 40MB/s through, it could even be the encoder processor in the webcam not supporting a high enough framerate to keep the image sharp.

[@TheBoss10987]

It's great to see more decent webcams, but I am going to have to stick with my c920 until it breaks. Not enough of an upgrade to warrant me buying this one yet.

[@staiain]

It's upscaling like 360p to 720p which is why it's so incredibly blurry for 720p it's falsely marketed as 720p

[@jamesrich8463]

Yeah, are you using a $1000 camera to make your videos, they look really good. What do you use?

[@Del-Canada]

Great review! Is this camera compatible with Canada?

[@kronik352]

Is this one compatible with a chromebook?? Also, does this one 'zoom in' on things good? I am a cannabis KZbinr.....so im mostly static, shooting from a seat in my room.....but I NEED one that will let me 'zoom in' on the product...and it show a great picture of it.??? THANKS IN ADVANCE for your help!!!!!! MUCH LOVE

[@honestjason7854]

Be carful buying this if you plan to use it for OBS. At 720/60fps YOU CANNOT ZOOM OR PAN and it has a fairly wide angle so my 6x6 green screen is usuless as the cam can see on both sides of it. I can use 960x720 but then it cam is stuck at 30 fps then all of sudden the cam can zoom and pan etc. Ive researched, uninstalled and reinstalled everything and i simply cannot get it to work right. logitech has offered little to no support to those of us who bought it. I think i will be returning it.

[@variousvideos1898]

Logitech would be much less misleading if, instead of claiming to have cameras with any such thing as a background replacement feature, they said that some other company out there rents compatible background replacement software for $60 a year, and that the software's functionality is a work in progress.

[@ttimber9742]

Thank you for your thoughts on this web cam. Like the person "not original", what kind recorder & cam do you use (on this video for example)... ☺

[@ScottFichter]

Wow when I conducted my testing at my channel the audio on my C922 was pure garbage. It was so bad it was embarrassing. The audio on yours is much much better. Hmmm... maybe the mic on mine is faulty. The video is fantastic.

[@scotthepler5694]

Great Video. Thanks for the info. What camera and lighting setup do you use?

[@Dictatortot-n3d]

got it for $5. definitely an improvement to my previous webcam

Is it possible to use an external mic with the c922? how about the c920?

2:31 or 2:32 whats up with the black screen

[@HowYouMove]

I wanted to know what’s the difference between the 922 & the 922X Pro? & can do you know which monitor light lamp that would definitely fit the Logitech 922X Pro on top of my silver HP Monitor?

[@curiouscollectiblesAU]

Thio, did you remove the clear film from the lens head? just curious if it increases image clarity or not or whether it should stay on there to prevent dust accumulation on the lens. cheers mate.

[@hustlehoff3836]

What camera were you using while giving the review?

[@MrNunchakulee]

Is this better than the c925e? Wha'ts the difference?

[@WillRogersCovers4Cancer]

Greetings from Australia :) Thanks for the review.. ..would u please recommend a cam i could use with my Macbook -- something that's great in low lighting? Thanks.

[@ExploiTARK]

hey thiojoe, Can I ask you a question.. You are by far the best reviewer I've come across so I hope you can answer me.. I have also a reviewing channel and I really need a decent upgrade... Now I've been lookin for the best webcam for recording.. I have been watching the stargazer, the logitech c920 and c922.. Now... I have seen alot different oppinions and I'm not sure what to choose now :( eventually, watching your reviews I made up my mind and I think I have to go for the logitech c922.. I'm looking for a modern HD webcam.. 1080p, Sharp for close ups and tutorials.. (mic not important cuz I'm using a studio mic) Dont care about the background feature as I'm buying a greenscreen.. I basicly just need the most sharp and best quality webcam out there.. Is there something new I should check out ? Love your work man, really helped me out alot so far ! keep it up !

[@SBMmoymoon]

Really a great review bro

[@danmagoo]

What software are you using, please, to record with the c922? I was really annoyed to find that the old Logitech Webcam Software doesn't work properly with the c922, and Logitech hasn't bothered to provide recording software for it. Their support site casually tells you that you must use 3rd party software to record with this webcam, such as Microsoft Camera, which I do not find acceptable.

[@seanguillermo]

hey joe what cam are you using to create this content?

[@allanwalker3789]

I'm thinking of buying this webcam. Is there anyway to get rid of that underwater sound in the microphone when you're speaking in the logitech settings? I'd rather not have 2 buy a separate microphone, and that does sound pretty annoying. Also, do you know if the logitech c930 also produces this underwater noise in the microphone?

[@SchibbiSchibbi]

what a great detailed review! thanks

[@paultheadder]

does it take individual shots/pics?

[@GameOnBeast]

Hey there. Glad to see you don't do clickbait vids anymore. But im still not trusting ya any soon

[@brandilasagna]

Dude i have been having that same problem with random black screens showing up after rendering at 2:30. Have you figured out what the problem is?

[@FLOODOFSINS]

You can now get this webcam for $50. Is it now worth it or is there a newer model going to be coming out anytime soon?

[@adamheeley285]

Does it stutter when you are just using it to record videos and not as a webcam?

[@vinzer72frie]

thanks for the review i only wanted it for the 60fps but it looks bad, you saved me some money thanks

[@princessjulieta]

Thanks I wandered why mine did not come with a tripod or in the bigger box but those things and the shorter subscription I don't want. There was only 1 option for in stock at retail price anyways. Plus I need more so I'm fine with getting the x version again unless I can find the tripod version for retail price. This way I have a back up webcam trip pod just in case.

[@RussianGhost]

every time i watch one of your videos, i have to check the description to make sure it's not a prank. lol. good stuff though, love it

[@PutItAway101]

That doesn't look like noise filtering, it looks like the 720 p 60fps mode is actually shooting at 360p and upscaling it so one pixel becomes four, with blurring applied to make it look less obvious. Sounds like the 60 fps 720p is a scam.

[@MoonAstras]

So just to confirm you can mute the audio on this camera and use your own yeti mic right?

[@Pharmcys]

Yeah you have to do it in sound settings

[@CizzuCizzu]

How can I change the webcam settings on Mac ?! the default settings are horrible!

[@sebasforest963]

So in the end, is it worth an upgrade from the C920?

[@bekilturgut]

hi, I have a question, I wd be glad if you answer. I need cam / webcam but not for primarly to capture myself in front of my computer. Im an IT professional and at work, during IT projects a lot of people colleagues reflecting their computer screens to show software and make presentations. We have projectors in meeting rooms which we connect to computers and reflect to a white screen. So I need to cam these presentations from the white screen. I wont be very far away from the screen but, what kind of cam/web cam I need for this ? For good quality capturing ? And is this cam can to that ? thnk u

a very informative video thank you.

[@ReverendNillerz]

I would like it if you could test linux compatibility in the stuff that you test. It doesn't have to be the main thing, obviously, but some information about how well this works out-of-the-box on a typical Linux machine would be cool. This could be beneficial for you, as well, because even though most hardware works fine in linux, it's usually not advertised to be the case. For instance, I've never seen a webcam not work in Linux, but if I were ever to go out and purchase one, I wouldn't see any that say "This webcam works on linux", so I'm taking a risk. If you were to say that it worked pretty okay in Linux, I'd probably just take the safe bet and purchase the webcam you say works, perhaps using your affiliate link.

[@John-kk2ux]

the720p 60 fps is reducing the noise so it wouldnt be so distracting regularly
