The BRIO 4K Stream Edition webcam is capable of recording 4K video.
If you use the proper video capture application (ex. Camera for Windows 10) you can record 4K video from your BRIO webcam to your computer.

Other 4K considerations
While many video preview tools are great at presenting/decoding 1080p at 30fps, they may take a little more time when presenting/decoding 4K content as it requires a lot more resources.
You may also experience performance issues when using a video player to view 4K content. You’ll need to make sure that the player is set up with the correct codecs and the settings to decode 4K content. Also, consider that processing 4K content takes a lot of GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) and CPU (Central Processing Unit) resources. Below are some suggested player tools/codecs that you can install to be able to view 4K content.
