The Elgato Facecam MK.2 is a 1080p USB webcam designed for clear, natural-looking video in streaming, video conferencing, and content creation. It delivers up to 1080p at 60 fps over USB-C, with support for uncompressed video when used with a USB 3.2 Gen 1 connection for improved detail and lower latency.

A fixed-focus 5 MP sensor and 84° field of view provide a consistent, wide framing suitable for single-person setups. HDR support helps balance high-contrast lighting, while Elgato Camera Hub software allows deeper image control similar to a DSLR workflow. Settings are stored onboard, so your preferred look is retained even when switching devices. A built-in privacy shutter offers simple lens protection when the camera is not in use, and the included monitor mount supports stable positioning with an integrated 1/4"-20 thread for tripod compatibility.

Who this is for

How it works

The fixed-focus lens is optimised for typical desk distances, removing the need for manual focusing. The 84° field of view provides a natural framing suitable for head-and-shoulders shots, while software zoom, pan, and tilt adjustments help refine composition. Camera Hub software allows exposure, colour, and framing adjustments to be configured and saved, with onboard memory ensuring consistency across sessions.
