High Quality Video. The Elgato Facecam Full HD 1080p60 Webcam isn’t a one-stop shop for all your streaming needs, but that’s because it packs as much video performance as it can in a single package. 1080p HD streaming at rates up to 60fps will ensure your footage looks crystal clear, and that footage is captured by a Sony CMOS sensor designed for indoor use to reduce noise and keep the image sharp. You’ll need a separate microphone, but your livestream quality will thank you for it.

Manual Control. Typically, webcams plug into a computer and just work. That’s fine for a zoom meeting, but when you’re trying to reach an audience, you need to look good. Adjust things like exposure, white balance, field of view, focus, and frame rate to capture the best image possible, even if your lighting isn’t the best. Save these controls to the webcam’s onboard flash memory, and it’ll remember exactly how you set it up next time, so you can switch between computers with ease. Or go all automatic, if you’re not comfortable adjusting any settings. It’ll do its best to make you look bright and clear.

Plug and Play. The Elgato Facecam connects to a computer via USB C, and you can use the Elgato Camera Hub App to setup your video just the way you like. You will need a USB 3.0 compatible port on your computer, as well as an updated Mac or Windows to use the software. Any computer released within the last few years should be compatible.
