Usually just moves that are only advantageous with a higher depth analysis

I’m confused how that’s a brilliant move when the queen is guarding

pawn takes knight ,bh3,re1,qg5+,kh1,qg2 checkmate in 3

I'm rated around 900 and I have had two consecutive games with each their own brilliant move. I've received around 4 total that I know of but I've only analyzed around a fifth of my games.

Earlier getting a brilliant move was very rare because it would be better than what computer thinks is best at low depth. You had to beat the bar, kind off. I got it once, computer's best move would have made position equal my move was slightly better. 

Now it is different now if you sack a piece and it is the best move then it is considered brilliant.

I haven’t got one, usually it says ‘good’ ‘perfect’ or ‘bets move’.

What is a bets move? I didn’t know there was betting in chess.

Idk if this is how you link a game, but I got a brilliant for Be2, a "hard to find" defensive move. According to my insights, I have 6, but only recall this one...

Stick around long enough at this website, and with mounting experience and a mounting number of games you will likely get PLENTY of brilliant moves. I have been playing here for 7 years with over 98,000 games, and I now have a grand total of 817 "brilliant" moves. However, this is actually BELOW AVERAGE on a percentage basis according to Insights! What a bummer. Most of these moves involved a bishop sacrifice, either around the opposing king or else in the context of discovered check. I would estimate that at least 75% revolved around some sort of bishop sac, with the majority of the rest having to do with a rook sacrifice, usually for an enemy knight. As far as I can tell most of my brilliant moves seemed rather obvious, so I can't help but believe this item is rather overrated in terms of mystique. A brilliant move involving a nearly inscrutable 7-deep mating combination really WOULD impress me, but I haven't made one of these yet and don't think I'm likely to do so in the near future.

the vast majority of brilliant moves I get are from sacrificing a piece to open up a serious attack on the king/an exchange where you'll end up with more material

And also, sometimes the brilliant (!!) and great (!) moves are started by our opponent's bad move.

when you are low elo brilliant moves are common because we are stupid and our brilliance is just dumb luck more than skill.

Here I also got two brilliant moves in a row even though I was playing bullet as a 430 rated player 😅. (totally not part of the icbm gambit)

Funny how you ONLY EVER see things RIGHT after you learn them, huh?
