Thanks! Alot of people say my normal "stream lighting" config is already dark/low lit so there's that at least

google real quick "mokose 4k digital camera" check it out, i was blown away when I see what they have to offer!

You can always turn off autofocus on any of the cameras. I have to say though, a 4k webcam could give you an advantage. If you keep your canvas at 1080p, you can crop/zoom the image in digitally and still maintain quality. This could definitely be helpful with miniatures.

Hey there. Check out these videos for optimizing your system for streaming kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mdeXkrOq05m0dn0.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qZeVjNmal62qpGw.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h8iGdrKYq5qraIE.html

@@CoalitionGaming THANKUUUU

exactlyyyy

its pretty good!

Thx Ryu!

Try a different USB port maybe. Otherwise I'd say reach out to elgato support, maybe ask in their discord too

The pro certainly stands out compared to the non-pro!

@@CoalitionGaming 👏

If you already have the Facecam do you think upgrading to the Pro makes sense? @@CoalitionGaming

Both facecams are USB-C

Yes I show that later in the video using elgato's own camera hub software to do that

@@CoalitionGaming Gotcha, missed that part. So we can't use the blur effect in 4K?

@@iXzenoS that's correct

It took me forever to figure out why I couldn’t get 4K with the blur on 🙄

Yeah that's why I like just a little bit of depth of field (or blur, if faking the effect). Just enough to be pleasing to the eye without making it impossible to see everything in the background. Also shown in the video, the fake background blur setting I preferred was....0%. It wasn't actually none, but it was very light. Using it effectively matters, I agree that people blurring the heck out of everything with too much real bokeh or too high of a background blur setting are doing too much and making it not look good. That said, I do also have 2 other camera angles (one mirror less camera and one webcam) that better show everything I've "spent a fortune on to put on display" than my main face angle so there's that too :)

Android 14 = didn't exist when this video was made. Also I have several other videos using phones as webcams lol But I was aware of the native USB camera functionality they were working on adding. I hope your comment means that that feature is now publicly available.

@@CoalitionGaming yes I'm talking about native webcam support on the new Android. I plan to buy a some pixel to replace the Logitech Brio

The 1080p facecam isn't that great, a little overhyped for me, but the 4k one is much better. The insta360 Link also constantly surprises me with it's quality. But talking with some friends that I got setup with a Sony camera as their webcam, they saw the quality of the facecam Pro and Insta360 link and almost questioned why they should use a more complicated Sony cam setup that uses a HDMI capture card, dummy battery and need to figure out specific camera settings things like iso, shutter speed, etc. To me, all that stuff is easy, not even a problem. But to others, like some of the friends I know, the plug and play functionality of USB webcams is hard to beat when their quality can finally break out of the "it just looks like a webcam" territory like the insta360 link and facecam pro manage to pull off. Not everybody's level of understanding tech is the same. I'd still rather have a "real camera" in the setup, but plenty of people don't want want the hassle either. Also there were no DSLRs featured in this video just fyi.
