Elgato also did not forget to embed the heatsink as well as air vents on the backside of the Facecam to ensure the device does not overheat even when being used non-stop.

The Elgato Facecam relies on a USB-C connection. Apart from being clipped to the monitor, the device can also be mounted on a standard tripod.

Although it is plug-and-play, Facecam can also be tweaked further using a companion application, and all the settings set will be directly stored in Facecam’s internal memory.

Elgato also provides Camera Hub app support where the application offers a variety of camera settings manually. The app lets the user set the available setting options of white balance, camera shutter speed, ISO, and many more. That way, it can be adjusted according to the lighting conditions in the room.

Elgato also provides an internal memory that is useful for storing all these settings.
