I reduced the sharpness to 1. I agree, 0 is too soft for most use cases, but 2 on the other hand gives the Facecam look a somewhat Webcam-ish oversharpened look. It’s not as bad as +3, but still too much for my taste. Luckily, the self noise of the camera is not reduced by your choice on the sharpness Filter. So in the end it’s a matter of Personal preference.
I have two Elgato Ecams and the Camera Hub. I am trying to use both with Ecamm Live. How can I do this so that Ecamm Live will recognize and accept both Cameras. In Elgato Camera Hub, I can only use one device. I can’t afford to buy another camera and I need multiple Camera to Live Stream my Painting Classes and Demos. Thanks in advance! I hope you can help
How is your image still so bright with the iso so low? My shutter speed is 1/120s and as soon as i drop the iso to 200 the image is so dark. For lighting I'm using an elgato ring light facing the wall at 50% but even at 100% the image is still so dark. What am I doing wrong? do I need more lighting?
Hello Shayway Tech, I am using Iphone12 to connect ELGATO FACECAM in Camera Hub with my Mac Laptop. In my laptop I am not getting full screen in the zoom call when I am using Camera Hub. I am using trial version of Camera Hub. How full screen will come ? Thanks, Sumit Kandoi
looks like a good camera. Just the fact that you can save the settings is great, but do you know If you can use multi-apps at the same time with the Facecam ? For me, I want to use 2 OBS's at the same time with this camera.
I just purchased the Elgado Facecam and I took it out of the box but have not yet set it up. Question (anyone) - where am I getting the software to use with the camera? Is it a download? Thanks
@@mkmcat - Actually, I didn’t receive the proper support after purchasing the face cam. I decided to return the item to the store where I purchased it.
I was thinking of getting this product but after using an old iPhone 8 as a webcam, there is no reason to get a webcam. The quality is so good with iPhones it's just not worth spending money on webcams.
@@slickrickzz3740 What you can do is right click your camera in the sources tab in obs. Then select filters followed by clicking the bottom plus icon under effect filters and select crop/pad. Then just adjust to your liking :) if ur having trouble start this video from 2:28 and it will show you :) th-cam.com/video/EaXmJ--YuGA/w-d-xo.html
finally someone said it I have the same problem I think it means that our facecam might be defective called for customer support they working on it to tell me what the issue is

I'm loving this webcam! If you want to see a specific video about it, or any other Elgato products, let me know here!

On my way to pick up this camera right now. Appreciate the breakdown. Thanks!
Can I use this on ps5 with no capture card ????
Is there a way to trun off the webcam via software, or do i actually have to disconnect the wire?
is there a way to get a sharper image? it's so blurry and I'm tempted to send it back. (i have good lighting the image is just not sharp at all)
Thanks to this video i reduced my sharpness and it looks very smooth.

Hi Shayway, can I connect this camera to a Rode microphone on a tripod? There's only one port on the camera, but nothing for the microphone?
Nice video I am unable to get two Elgato Facecams working same time on Macbook Pro the most recent powerful laptop. Anybody able to do that?
Hi there! Where you able to connect them to the macbook pro?
Hello Shayway Tech,

Can I do it on ps4 without pc
the video just cuts off. was that suppose to happen?
Thank you very much. Very clear, very simple. Just perfect!! 🙂
Thanks for the Setup
Anyone actually able to use it? Camera hub program stuck on initialising for hours, tried different ports and cables but no luck...
Is this compatible with the ps5?
Thanks for doing a point to point video and a great/full hands-on video in minimal time. Subbed.
Thanks! Glad I could help!
My app settings do not save why is this?

Well put thanks!
i just got my facecam but its flickering even thought the anti flickering is on

Very informative, thanks!
So does the camera hub actually capture the video? Or did you capture it with obs or something?
I'm wondering how I am gonna use a green screen with this camera since the angle is so wide. Any tips?
cropping in works fine. I've used this with a green screen multiple times.
@@Shayway Thanks for the answer, now how do i crop in? lol
@@slickrickzz3740 Hold the alt button and drag in on the sides you want to crop :)
@@Takaoshi Thanks, but where? In the camera hub or what? sorry for being completely stupid here, but Im not good at this stuff

my software wont open I dont know what I should do... maybe someone here got an answer
is it possible to setup multiple elgato facecams in 1 stream?
I believe this came up during their launch stream and the answer was "no, not at this time." Which makes me think it could happen in the future
I wish the Camera Hub didn't crash every time I use it.
video just kinda ends... were you done?
Has anyone had issues with the camera in obs? Face cam is selectable, but no image??? Driving me mental
make sure its on the top layer so you can see it. is it under your screen capture?
6:40 I did that now everything is blurry 🤣
Youu need more views omg
Lol why did it end so abruptly?
Hello thanks
It's a load of bs. I have to toggle the camera settings EVERY SINGLE TIME I turn my computer back on after 'saving it' the previous session.
Yeah it doesn't save and im pissed off.
finally someone said it I have the same problem I think it means that our facecam might be defective called for customer support they working on it to tell me what the issue is
I had the same issue, but it fixed when I updated the firmware
@@1STYNA1 are you talking about the cam app firmware ?
@@2010waslit I am yes, once I updated this the cam began to save my settings properly
please please maybe you can help me i need a pc where i can record lets play with facecam (sony a6000) both 1080p60 which gpu and cpu will you recommend please suggest a budget one

ARE YOU USING A RING LIGHT 😃
Yep -- lighting is key!
A half hour of useless explanation but nothing about hardware and graphic card settings.
