Imaging Color Gets Darker in OBS and YouTube Livestream – Requires Manual Adjustment Daily

Hello OBS Community,

I am experiencing an issue where the imaging color from my Logitech MX Brio camera gets darker in both the OBS preview window and the YouTube livestream. This happens daily, and I have tried all the suggested fixes without success. I am looking for further guidance to resolve this issue permanently.

Issue Details:​

  1. Every day (and sometimes multiple times a day), I have to manually switch the Preset attribute under OBS > Properties > Logitech MX Brio camera > Preset:
    • Switch from 3840 x 2160 to 1920 x 1080, then back to 3840 x 2160.
    • After switching, the color returns to normal instantly, even without clicking "OK."
  2. Opening the LogiTune app(from Logitech) for either of my cameras (Logitech MX Brio or Logitech Brio 500) triggers the issue:
    • The imaging color changes from normal to darker in OBS and the livestream.
    • The manual Preset switching in OBS is then required to restore the correct color.

Cameras in Use:​

  • Logitech MX Brio (used in OBS).
  • Logitech Brio 500 (used for a separate Youtube livestream via Streamlabs ).

System Details:​

  • Operating System: macOS Sequoia 15.2 with Apple M1 chip, 8 GB memory.
  • OBS Version: (31.0.0).
  • Camera Settings:
    • Preset: 3840 x 2160 (Primary setting for better color rendering).

Steps Taken So Far:​

  • Tried adjusting camera properties in OBS.
  • Verified LogiTune settings and avoided opening the app, but it’s sometimes needed for adjustments.
  • Increased bitrate in OBS and verified resolutions (Base Canvas and Output Scaled resolutions) for better rendering.
  • Reinstalled OBS and LogiTune, but the issue persists.
This problem is disruptive, as it requires manual intervention every day. If anyone has encountered a similar issue or knows a way to stabilize the color rendering without manual adjustment, your help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your time and suggestions!
