Elgato Facecam Review - The Best Webcam I've Ever Owned
39The Elgato Facecam launched with a bang a few months ago. It's a Full HD webcam that supports 1080p60, 1080p30, 720p60, 720p30, 540p60, and 540p30.
In this detailed review, I show what this webcam is capable of, what you get in the box, and what you need to be aware of before buying it. It's a long detailed review so feel free to skip to the part that is relevant to you.
The Elgato Facecam is available on Amazon at https://amzn.to/3ghbJHZ
