Thank you for your review! So many reviewers miss the basics of unboxing and showing what is in the box; more specifically what cables are included. USB-C to USB-A ✅

[@ThisBrownGeek]

You are most welcome, thank you for the comment and for watching 🖖🏼

[@CristianSilvagnoli]

I’ve been waiting for this man! Happy to see another of your videos. That intro was 🔥

[@OliverHollingdale]

Yeah... you make that Lazy Susan your Be-ach!

[@ThisBrownGeek]

Oh my god hahahahaha! I wish I never told you it was called a “Lazy Susan” 😂🤣

[@wgm247]

Elgato is noticeably much better than the logitech and the macbook pros webcam. Its not just a little difference its huge and better in every way from the colour balance, sharpness, contrast.. just more natural and pleasing. Logitech in particular should be worried...very worried. Thanks for creating such a great video covering the Elgato webcam in detail and in an enjoyable way. I hope to see many more comparison videos in the tech space as they help me to make well informed purchasing decisions.

[@ThisBrownGeek]

Thank you so much!! I totally agree, it truly is a great webcam!!

[@Gboxing559]

That intro 😲

[@ThisBrownGeek]

Haha thank you, it took ages 😂

[@Sunshine-ie3kb]

I need one

[@ThisBrownGeek]

Get one!!!

[@AlisonBurtt]

I just bought this camera. My original Facecam is nice and bright and sharp, but this one is all dark and gray. Then when I set it up in Camera Hub, I can get it looking better, but when I bring it into OBS, it looks and again. And it's nowhere near as good as my original Facecam. Could there be something wrong with it?

[@AlisonBurtt]

*looks bad again

[@SilverSurfer9000]

Nice video! Any idea why I can't change Format in Elgato Camera Hub? It is set to 1080p60 (MJPEG) and its greyed out/no dropdown... I updated firmware after installing the camera. EDIT: I THink its because I plugged into a usb2.0 port on my PC, it needs USB3.0 to support uncompressed video! Its working now, but its still greyed out (so YUY2 uncompressed 60fps is my only option). I was hoping to try out 30fps for increased low light performance

[@ThisBrownGeek]

Hi!! Change your shutter speed to 1/30. That’s 30fps :)
