Behind the brand.

Elgato, founded in 1999 and acquired by Corsair in 2018, makes audiovisual tools for content creators. Its Facecam models differ in resolution, focus system, USB bandwidth and operating-system requirements, while Camera Hub and some AI effects require supported software or hardware; buyers should verify those details before treating the cameras as interchangeable.
