Before you choose

Logitech C922 Pro

The catch: Choose 1080p for a 30 fps stream or 720p for 60 fps. If full-HD 60 fps is essential, choose a camera that explicitly lists 1080p60.

Check first:

  • A USB-A port on your computer

Elgato Facecam 4K

The catch: Connect it to a USB 3 port to get every video mode, then choose the exact mode in OBS. On USB 2 you get fewer modes, even with a USB-C plug.

You need:

  • A USB 3 port (5 Gbps)

Check first:

  • A USB-C port on your computer

We haven’t confirmed a figure for one or both models on: Camera movement, Tracking and framing modes, USB port needed, HDR. The site leaves these out rather than guess.

What else each needs

Logitech C922 Pro

C922 Pro
A USB-A port on your computer
  • Check first: A USB-A port on your computer. The cable is fixed and ends in USB-A. A computer with only USB-C ports needs a USB-A to USB-C adapter.

Elgato Facecam 4K

Facecam 4K
A USB 3 port (5 Gbps)
A USB-C port on your computer
A tripod or arm with a 1/4-inch screw
  • You need: A USB 3 port (5 Gbps). On a USB 2 port it falls back to lower modes. USB-C is a plug shape, not a speed, so check the port itself.
  • Check first: A USB-C port on your computer. The cable in the box has USB-C at both ends. If your computer only has USB-A ports, you need a USB-C to USB-A cable rated for the same speed.
  • Optional: A tripod or arm with a 1/4-inch screw. For a position the monitor mount cannot reach.
