Elgato Stream Deck Mini
Six visible actions suit a small first page. Check the cable end on the actual unit before choosing an adapter; current maker pages disagree about Type-A versus Type-C.
Connections & full profile →Check price on Amazon ↗Elgato Stream Deck Neo
Eight actions stay visible at once. Choose a dial model for continuous volume adjustments, or use pages when extra actions can stay one step away.
Connections & full profile →Check price on Amazon ↗Elgato Stream Deck MK.2
Choose it for 15 visible button actions. If you ride several audio levels during a show, compare a dial model before assigning pairs of volume buttons.
Connections & full profile →Check price on Amazon ↗Elgato Stream Deck +
Four dials accompany eight LCD keys. If more than eight labeled actions must stay visible, allow page changes or compare a larger key surface.
Connections & full profile →Check price on Amazon ↗Elgato Stream Deck + XL
Reserve a direct USB 3 connection and desk space for its 36 keys and six dials. Choose a smaller surface if either would crowd the setup.
Connections & full profile →Check price on Amazon ↗Elgato Stream Deck XL
There are no physical dials. Reserve space beside the keyboard for 32 visible keys, or choose a dial model for continuous mixing.
Connections & full profile →Check price on Amazon ↗Elgato Stream Deck Pedal
Assign its three foot switches to actions you can remember without labels, such as mute or scene changes. Keep a labeled key surface for larger control sets.
Connections & full profile →Check price on Amazon ↗Elgato Facecam Neo
Its fixed USB-C lead needs a data adapter on a USB-A computer. Select 1080p60 MJPG in OBS before judging motion.
Connections & full profile →Check price on Amazon ↗Elgato Facecam MK.2
Its fixed focus suits a consistent speaking position. Place the camera within the published focus range; choose autofocus if you regularly lean far forward or show objects close to the lens.
Connections & full profile →Check price on Amazon ↗Elgato Facecam 4K
Connect it through USB 3 for the full video path, then select the exact mode in OBS. A USB 2 connection exposes fewer modes, even with a Type-C plug.
Connections & full profile →Check price on Amazon ↗Logitech MX Brio
Set the desired framing and exposure in the camera software, then test that view in OBS before relying on automatic reframing.
Connections & full profile →Check price on Amazon ↗Logitech Brio 4K
Brio is a family name: confirm the 4K model, not Brio 100 or 300.
Connections & full profile →Check price on Amazon ↗Logitech StreamCam
Its attached USB-C cable needs a USB 3 data connection for the intended video path. Add a suitable data adapter on a Type-A host and select the mode in OBS.
Connections & full profile →Check price on Amazon ↗Logitech C922 Pro
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.
Connections & full profile →Check price on Amazon ↗Razer Kiyo V2
Use the basic camera output on a supported host; choose a supported Windows setup if Razer software effects are part of your plan. Test those effects in OBS before the show.
Connections & full profile →Check price on Amazon ↗Razer Kiyo V2 X
Plan around the documented 1080p60 or 1440p30 encoding path. The maker's 1440p60 headline conflicts with its encoding table, so choose another documented mode if that frame rate decides the purchase.
Connections & full profile →Check price on Amazon ↗Insta360 Link 2
Leave clearance for the motorized camera to turn and use a stable mount. Choose the fixed Link 2C body if you only need a stationary seated frame.
Connections & full profile →Check price on Amazon ↗Insta360 Link 2C
The fixed 2C body does not physically pan like Link 2. Choose Link 2 when following a moving presenter is the main job.
Connections & full profile →Check price on Amazon ↗Insta360 Link 2 Pro
Its published hardware guide covers the gimbal, lens and mounts but does not specify video output modes. Choose a camera with a documented resolution and frame rate when that decides the purchase.
Connections & full profile →Check price on Amazon ↗Elgato Wave Neo
Choose it for one direct USB speaking position and use its headphone jack to monitor your voice. For two separately controlled speakers, plan two microphones and an interface with two inputs.
Connections & full profile →Check price on Amazon ↗Elgato Wave:3 MK.2
Select the MK.2 audio device and configure its processing before routing it to OBS; first-generation Wave:3 instructions describe a different processing path.
Connections & full profile →Check price on Amazon ↗Elgato Wave DX
Add an XLR cable and an interface with a microphone preamp. A USB cable or passive XLR adapter alone cannot connect this microphone to the computer.
Connections & full profile →Check price on Amazon ↗Shure MV6
Use it directly over USB. Choose an XLR or hybrid microphone instead if you intend to move the same mic onto a standalone analog mixer.
Connections & full profile →Check price on Amazon ↗Shure MV7+
Use USB for the microphone’s DSP and headphone features. On XLR, plan processing and monitoring at the interface; those USB features do not follow the analog cable.
Connections & full profile →Check price on Amazon ↗RØDE PodMic USB (Black)
Choose a mount that supports the microphone’s documented weight. Use USB for its onboard processing, or plan processing and monitoring separately on the XLR route.
Connections & full profile →Check price on Amazon ↗RØDE NT-USB+
Use the direct USB route and place the microphone close enough for a clear voice before treating room reflections with processing. Choose another microphone if an XLR mixer connection is required.
Connections & full profile →Check price on Amazon ↗Razer Seiren V3 Pro
Choose USB when you need the microphone’s software processing. For XLR, add an interface and route processing there; the USB feature set does not establish the analog output’s behavior.
Connections & full profile →Check price on Amazon ↗Elgato Wave XLR MK.2
Its single microphone preamp suits one XLR speaker. Choose an interface with two independent mic inputs when two people need separate gain controls.
Connections & full profile →Check price on Amazon ↗Elgato Wave XLR Pro
Connect the streaming computer to the USB host socket. Reserve the auxiliary USB connection for the second device and assign each return separately.
Connections & full profile →Check price on Amazon ↗Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 4th Gen
Loopback alone does not remove a guest’s voice from their return. Build a separate mix-minus route before using remote guests, or choose a mixer with that routing available.
Connections & full profile →Check price on Amazon ↗RØDE Streamer X
Set capture output separately from the display passthrough mode. Configure the audio returns before going live so HDMI audio and computer loopback do not reach OBS twice.
Connections & full profile →Check price on Amazon ↗RØDE RØDECaster Duo
Assign the stream, headphones and guest return explicitly. Exclude the guest’s own voice from their return, then record a call to check the mix before going live.
Connections & full profile →Check price on Amazon ↗Blackmagic ATEM Mini Pro
Plan an HD stream from its USB webcam output. If your recording must be 4K, choose a capture path that documents 4K output instead of treating its HDMI inputs as 4K capture.
Connections & full profile →Check price on Amazon ↗Elgato Game Capture Neo
Use its HDMI output for a 4K60 HDR gaming display and its USB output for up to 1080p60 capture. Choose another card if the recorded stream must be 4K.
Connections & full profile →Check price on Amazon ↗Elgato Game Capture 4K S
Select a listed capture mode and a separate listed display mode. If HDR or high refresh is essential, match both exact modes before choosing this card.
Connections & full profile →Check price on Amazon ↗Elgato Game Capture 4K X
Use a 10 Gbps USB connection for the full mode set. On a 5 Gbps port, choose one of the reduced capture modes or a different host connection before buying for high resolution.
Connections & full profile →Check price on Amazon ↗Elgato Game Capture 4K Pro
Use a supported Windows desktop with a suitable PCIe x4 slot. Choose a USB capture device for a Mac or a laptop without an accessible compatible slot.
Connections & full profile →Check price on Amazon ↗Elgato Cam Link 4K
There is no HDMI display output. Identify the unit’s revision before planning 4K frame rates, then test clean HDMI and continuous camera power; use a passthrough card for a separate gaming display.
Connections & full profile →Check price on Amazon ↗AVerMedia Live Gamer ULTRA S GC553Pro
Select the capture mode for your actual Windows or Mac host. Use an unencrypted HDMI source; protected video cannot be made capturable by choosing a different cable.
Connections & full profile →Check price on Amazon ↗Elgato Key Light Neo
Match the USB power source to the brightness you need. If the computer port only supports a reduced output, use the documented higher-power supply path or lower the lighting requirement.
Connections & full profile →Check price on Amazon ↗Elgato Key Light Air MK.2
Full brightness needs a 30 W or stronger USB-C power supply. Use the included desk clamp; the original Air stand is a different design.
Connections & full profile →Check price on Amazon ↗Elgato Key Light
Check the desk edge, clamp clearance and power location before choosing it.
Connections & full profile →Check price on Amazon ↗Elgato HD60 X · owned legacy
Keep an owned unit when its tested capture and display modes meet the job. For a new purchase, compare the current cards and their exact host requirements.
Connections & full profile →Elgato Facecam Pro · owned legacy
Keep this owned camera only if the current host exposes the video mode you need. Record the complete session with other USB video devices active.
Connections & full profile →Elgato Wave:3 (first generation) · owned legacy
Keep the original USB audio path if it meets your recording needs. Configure processing in software; MK.2 onboard DSP features do not apply to this microphone.
Connections & full profile →Elgato Wave XLR (first generation) · owned legacy
Use the original model’s published gain range and software path. If the microphone needs more gain, compare that requirement against the original preamp before considering MK.2.
Connections & full profile →Elgato Key Light Air (first generation) · owned legacy
Keep its original stand and matching power supply. Measure that base on the desk; the MK.2 clamp, USB power and dimensions do not describe this light.
Connections & full profile →No matching model. Keep the device as unknown in the setup builder and check its connector facts.
