Elgato Facecam MK.2

A Facecam designed to go beyond the limits of consumer webcams

With the Facecam MK.2, Elgato maintains a simple philosophy: a webcam should not merely be a “stopgap”; it should become a true link in your creative chain. While many models settle for a compressed image, often limited to 30 fps, the Facecam MK.2 delivers a cleaner signal, smooth 1080p60 performance and a more natural look, even when the lighting is less than perfect. The result: a more stable, more precise image that is easier to match with your setup (microphone, lighting, capture, overlays).

Who it is for and what it can be used for: streaming, video conferencing and content creation

The Facecam MK.2 is aimed at creators who want a professional image without switching to a camera and capture card. It is perfectly suited to streaming (YouTube, live streams), Zoom/Teams meetings, video podcasts, training sessions and product presentations. Its wide field of view makes it easy to frame a medium shot, while the zoom, pan and tilt functions let you quickly adjust the composition to suit your surroundings, position and type of content.
For “studio” use, you will particularly appreciate the consistent colours, its handling of high-contrast scenes (e.g. a bright window behind you) and the ability to lock essential settings (exposure, shutter speed) to prevent image variations during a live stream or recording.

Advanced settings and a “camera-like” look: HDR, low light and DSLR-style control

HDR at 1080p60 for challenging scenes

When the lighting is mixed or highly contrasted, HDR helps preserve detail in highlights and keeps your face clearly visible without crushing the background. This is a real advantage for bright offices, setups with LED lighting in the background or environments where the lighting changes throughout the day.

Camera Hub: fine control designed for creators

The Camera Hub software is not limited to superficial filters: it provides access to settings inspired by the world of photo and video, such as ISO and shutter speed, so you can control brightness, perceived sharpness and image stability. You can also adjust the framing (FOV), with zoom/pan/tilt controls, to quickly find a clean, consistent shot.

Internal memory and Stream Deck integration

A particularly practical feature for everyday use: the integrated Flash memory lets you retain your image settings even after restarting or switching computers. And if you use a Stream Deck, you can control certain adjustments live with a press or a turn, adapting your look during a live stream without interrupting your content.

Reliable mounting and privacy

The Facecam MK.2 mounts securely and sits lower on the screen, encouraging better eye contact and a more natural angle during video conferences. It also features a sliding privacy shutter: a simple privacy solution that is always available and difficult to misplace.
