Conclusions

The Logitech Brio beats the Dell webcam in most conditions, despite shooting at only 1080p (2.1 MP) on a Chromebook; the Dell webcam, on the other hand, shoots at 3.7 MP (1444p) on the same Chromebook.

In addition, the audio quality of the Logitech is much better than the Dell webcam. The Dell webcam's microphone is disabled by default. According to Dell, you must enable the setting through the Dell Peripheral Manager (DPeM) software first. And the software is only compatible with Mac and Windows.

Fix it: Using USB Webcam with Google Chromebook

 To use a USB Webcam with Google Chromebook, you first have to enable it.  Go to settings and then search for "camera."  Click on "Site settings" as shown.  You can also get there by going to chrome://settings/content#content or chrome://settings/content/camera (direct link).

Then scroll down to find "Camera."

Change from "Integrated webcam" or "front camera user-facing" to the Webcam you're using.  In my case, it's the Logitech C920, which is labeled as "HD Pro Webcam C920."
