ElgatoFacecam MK.2 – Premium Full HD Webcam for Streaming, Gaming, Video Calls, Recording, HDR Enabled, Sony Sensor, PTZ Control – works with OBS, Zoom, Teams, and more, for PC/Mac

After doing extensive research on webcams suitable for streaming, I decided to go with the Elgato Facecam MK2, and it has been an excellent choice that ticks all the boxes. Already familiar with Elgato products (I already own a Elgato capture card and usb mic), I expected solid build quality, but this webcam has gone beyond my expectations.Design and Build: The camera has a sleek, professional design that looks great on top of my monitor. Its sturdy build and weight ensure it stays firmly in place without slipping or needing frequent adjustments, which is a big plus during long streaming sessions.Software: What really sets the Elgato Facecam MK2 apart from its competitors is the Camera Hub software. It's incredibly versatile and user-friendly. One of my favorite features is the ability to create multiple custom layouts. For example, you can set up one layout for a close-up on your face and another for a more zoomed-out view of your environment. Switching between these is smooth and enhances the overall production value of your stream.There are also some background features available if you have an Nvidia graphics card, but I haven’t been able to test these personally as I don't have the required hardware. Still, it's a great option for those who do.Performance: The picture quality is top-notch, with crisp, clear images that enhance the professionalism of my streams. Even in lower light conditions, it handles well without too much noise or graininess.Overall Verdict: The Elgato Facecam MK2 is a well-built, high-quality camera that's perfect for streamers. With its excellent software and reliable performance, it's a standout choice. While I couldn't try all the features, especially the Nvidia-powered background options, everything I’ve experienced has been fantastic. Highly recommended!

Much better than anticipated. Excellent picture quality, whilst not extensive on Mac, the Elgato Camera Hub software is a welcome addition. Field of view is excellent with the option to zoom through the software, although the quality does appear to degrade when zoomed in extensively.

Clear high quality image, incredibly easy to use, great focus, amazing lighting… do your research on webcams, and you will found out why there’s so many cheap options. This webcam may be a bit more expensive, but it’s miles ahead of any budget webcam out there. Elgato know what they’re doing. The price is fair, you won’t regret your purchase.

The camera is high quality, however if you plan to use it in OBS do not use the software provided via the elgato website, that being camera hub. This software causes the webcam to lag/stutter badly in OBS, I would recommend uninstalling it if you already have it installed as it can still mess with it in OBS even if the software is closed. This is annoying as you lose out on a few features provided by the software.Although what I’ve said you will probably need to download the software at least once to update the camera's firmware but after that I would recommend uninstalling it so it doesn’t mess with the webcam.

I was someone who had several issues with the first facecam due to it freezing often & especially having a strong blue filter. Once I heard about Facecam receiving a new updated model, I did some research before buying and found some really good reviews so decided to give it a try. So far I do not regret my purchase. Facecam Mk 2 is 10x better than the original facecam. The colours look more natural, the quality is crazy good for 1080p footage. The lighting is also amazing with the new facecam - both day and night! I'm impressed with the quality of this facecam especially the fact it's the same price as the original one (if you have prime). If you had issues with the first facecam or the firstcam pro - just try the Mk 2. I find it fixes a lot of problems.

Excellent quality. Pleased with product.

Bought as after decorating my room was dark and the previous camera just made me look ill or struggled to see my face, this camera has solved this now with much better picture quality only wish there was a microphone with it

Used it a few times over 3 weeks went to turn it on wouldn't turn on. After 30mins of playing around rebooting etc i unplugged and pluged back in it comes on. But now have this black dot like a dead pixel flickering just below dead centre. Its most noticeable under low light. This was not there before and appeared after it refused to come on.
