Streamer's Toolkit

Build Your Ideal Streaming Setup

Start with the basics: a capture card if you're capturing console gameplay, a microphone for clear audio, and a Stream Deck for quick controls. Prices range from $10 for accessories to $92 for core devices. For PC streaming, a wave link or USB mic works well. We cover how to set up OBS, connect your Elgato gear, and troubleshoot common problems like no signal or audio drift.

How do I set up an Elgato capture card in OBS?

Install the Elgato Capture software, then in OBS add a Video Capture Device and select your Elgato card. Ensure it's set to the correct resolution and frame rate (e.g., 1080p60).

How do I fix audio sync issues with my Elgato capture card?

In OBS, adjust the audio offset under Advanced Audio Properties. You can also enable 'Use buffering' and set a custom buffer. Ensure your drivers are up to date.

Which Elgato capture card do I need?

Consider your source: for PS5 or Xbox Series X, the HD60 X supports 4K pass-through with 1080p60 capture. For older consoles, the HD60 S+ is sufficient. For PC gameplay, you may only need a software capture.
