FAQs

What do I need to start streaming in the UK?

A webcam, microphone, ring light or key light, and streaming software like OBS. A capture card is needed if you stream from a console.

Is the Elgato Facecam worth it?

Yes. It offers 1080p60 with no barrel distortion and works plug-and-play with OBS — a step up from most built-in laptop cameras.

Do I need a capture card for PC streaming?

No. PC games can be captured directly by OBS. A capture card is only needed for streaming from PS5, Xbox, or Switch.
