@clear willow Hey can we be friends i recently wanna ask ya some question in private
hey guys
am installing 4k60 pro and need help.
Do I have to change anything on 4k Capture Utility at Preferences - Device? AM USING 1440P 144hz on my main monitor that will be cloned
thank you
dual pc setup 4k60 pro mk.2: is it normal that my gaming pc keeps saying no signal?
@quaint heart Nothing should be connected to your GPU. Not sure whats going on there.
@hoary goblet Nothing needs to be changed, unless you're experiencing problems with the Gaming PC not sending 144hz properly.
If it does, then you can go into 4K Capture Utility, Settings. Device tab. Change EDID Mode to internal, and then change the Internal EDID to 1440p.
@south bronze I haven't tested 1440p with it, but 1080p60 from the camera doesn't look good for you?
@cunning latch it does, but cases issues when editing, as I prefer using 1440p gameplay.
My monitor is 1440p
And game resolution is 1440p
Is there a diference between , sync ( network / internal ) ? Whats better ?
@cunning latch can you explain the audio delay after 1 hour ? That the sound is desyncing
@clear willow Normal is probably buffering more than usual, but that looks to be a function of OBS Link. That said, I've never used OBS Link myself because I don't have a Mac.
I'd defer to our full support team for the sync issue: http://e.lga.to/help
your hd60s+ is crap and it freezes every 30mins
Nothing else on my comp freezes but your video capture source does. Any reasons why?
like I know your probably annoyed but saying that stuff probably does not make them want to help you. but would you like me to try and help you? @iron sierra
@next cave yeh sorry but i paid a lot of money for something that crashes every 30mins it drives you insane after a while 🤣
@iron sierra that is fine I am sure we can all understand that. I cannot tell if you are saying sorry as in actually apologizing being annoyed but if you are sorry say it to Elgato people on here not to me. But pm me if you want me to try and help.
@next cave thanks mate will do
@iron sierra np I will be waiting if you need help.
Hey guys! I have an HD60 Pro and I am using it to record footage of my SNES classic and I am hearing occasional audio crackles that is picked up in the recording in OBS. I don't believe i get the same problems when I am streaming footage of my Xbox One X through the same capture card that I have noticed. Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated!
i keep getting that, i cant get it to work, ive installed the drivers and uninstalled and installed teh app again
ive disabled and unabled the device on device manager
i cant get it to work
@slim beacon you sure the capture card is plugged in properly?
I have the same capture card and that happened to me once.
as in not the message but it was not in fully.
so i dont really know if you'll be able to help with this, might not be the elgato's fault, but i have my switch and tv connect to my elgato and then that to my laptop, but both the tv and laptop dont play sound and i cant figure out why.
Yes @next cave
I called supoort and everything
They sent me that program to troubleshoot and in waiting for an answer from them
They dont know what it is yet
im using the el gato4k cam link with my sony a6000 and when i start playing a game the webcam will just freeze... any idea why this is happening???
@slim beacon I've had that exact same issue happen to me. If you're using a Ryzen X370, B350, or A320 motherboard, update the motherboards BIOS to latest. Make sure you follow the steps correctly in order to update the BIOS as well. After this, completely uninstall any and all Elgato software, and reinstall it.
what motherboard do you have
cpu?
update the bios of the motherboard. The bios isn't up to date most likely.
if it's a prebuilt system then it definitely isn't. If you built it yourself, but never checked to see if the bios was up to date, then it definitely isn't either way.
I built it with a technician
did you have this issue before? card worked fine and such?
or did it just start happening from when you plugged it in
@slim beacon I would do what @desert skiff is saying personally and also make a list of what you have tried then when you go back to support you can say I have done/tried this to them.
@next cave hey man, guess what.... slobs still freezes lol
my stream is currently frozen as we speak
I dont really have an idea what is the problem honestly mate could just be because your doing it through the ipad as well. but i would ask someone from this server they might know why or even go to the website and contact support.
@iron sierra
hopefully someone can help
How do I add or remove Siri Shortcuts to the streamdeck app? The "All shortcuts" section look like this
@bold ember do you happen to know?
I don't have the microphone either:
Hi in Stream Deck Mobile is whrited 30 day trial and when is subscriberd today for Android is whrite for until 13 March?
Oh, updating to 4.6 worked
@wooden remnant glad to hear! 😄
?
@glacial axle where was it showing a 30 day trial?
In the website
link?
ah, I see it.
TRY 30 DAYS FREE
maybe that was just for iOS... but good thing to check with the elgato team
#announcements is whrited extended to 30 days
lol, guess you were too early.
well... not sure how I can get it extended out to the full 30 days.
So I'm not sure if anyone else has run into this issue or has noticed. I run an Elgato 4k60Pro. The colors on my gaming monitor are vibrant. However when I am using Slobs to record and stream. I notice the colors are not vibrant. Has anyone else had an issue like this? Is there a way to fix this? Not sure where to start.
anyone got the customer support email address for elgato? the one im using cant be found?
publicrelations@elgato.com doesnt work?
@iron sierra have you tried: https://help.elgato.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
@brave wyvern what do you mean?
@wooden remnant thanks ill try that now
@wooden remnant yeh tried that 1 ealier it worked, thanks
What do you mean?
Like a group self promo channel
But its for streamers :(
It's not a technical question, I just have a general question. For the app, on either apple or android, do you still have to pay a subscription fee if you already own a stream deck
i would imagine yes..
@wooden remnant Let me know if this FAQ helps you regarding Siri Shortcuts https://help.elgato.com/hc/en-us/articles/360040740991-Elgato-Stream-Deck-Mobile-Using-Siri-Shortcuts
@signal musk this in regards to?
I thought you had questions on setting them up - did you not?
@signal musk I found the answer
https://discordapp.com/channels/581549424518365226/581551435074764810/686978930259132464
Ahhhh I missed that. :> good to know!
anyone know why this might be happening?
I am getting a black screen on my Mac. I bootcamped Windows 10, downloaded OBS Live. And now I can’t see the game when I use the video capture option. I am using the Elgato HD60s.
@humble monolith How is audio going into your capture card? HDMI cable or are you using a Chat Link or other analog adapter?
@cunning latch I figured out the problem, the Nintendo Switch has issues with audio cables sometimes and require a Ground Noise Isolator (Which I have one connected to my headphones) and forgot I need to get another one for it to record with good audio (I have a splitter so i can use 2 audio cables from my switch)
I tested my headphone one, then it started recording fine
Still having the same problem.
Is there a reason why I will use a command on my Stream Deck using the chat feature where the el gato uses my name and talks for me at the press of a button and sometimes it doesn't work and sometimes it does?
Ok. Um dun know if this is the right chat, but I am looking for assistance. I just got the standard stream deck and using the voicemod pro to give myself. Well voices. But my mic is now crackling. How do I fix this?
Could I get a bit of help?
What troubleshooting steps have you already tried?
I have attempted disconnecting the mic and putting it back. Tried using it on another device, sounds fine.
I tried making sure both my razer sieren mic setting and the voicemod pro setting were the same khz. In case that was the issue.
Have you checked for updates both in voicemod / streamdeck / and the razer drivers?
I can double check that, but streamdeck I just got last night so should be completely updated.
I had a razer mic with voicemod and had to get rid of the mic because it lagged behind which caused static. However, this might not be the case for everyone.
. . . well that will be very annoying if that is the case.
I am using the big boi mic.
... is it the seiren elite?
Don't think the elite one was out, at the time when I got this. But it's the really heavy one.
Ah okay.
What is really weird, it goes in and out of crackling.
Yea, thats what mine did.
I'd also try reinstalling voicemod and restarting the computer.
I can give that a try.
Do you have a different mic you could test with?
Sadly no.
Okay, you'll have to rule everything else out then.
I'd try uninstalling and reinstalling everything, then restart the computer.
Ok give me a bit.
Yo, does Adobe Premiere Pro not accept MP4 Imports?
Cause I record on MP4 in OBS; however, Adobe Premiere Pro seems to not work?
@dapper scroll any clue?
It sure should lol. I would look up the error on adobe forums
I do all our screencaps for educational posts with OBS in mp4 so would be news to me!
Hi I’m using a chat link cable for my PS4. Everything is setup correctly. My game audio is going through my desktop audio so I’m able to hear the audio instead of it going through my tv. But when I switch it to analog audio, there’s no audio from my ps4 going through to obs. Any reasons why?
@wide roost When no audio is coming into OBS, you still hear audio in your wired headset?
@cunning latch yes I can. But nothing is going through obs
Which device model are you working with?
@cunning latch Elgato hd 60 the newer model I think it’s the 60
Alright, do you have Game Capture HD installed? Can you double check if that software properly accepts the input right?
I'm just trying to confirm. Inside of Game Capture HD, when you go into Device Settings and change the audio input from HDMI to Analog, the software does capture audio from the Chat Link?
Want to try and isolate if there is a setup issue or if it's software. Sounds like software.
Correct
I re ordered the product as well to try it again but it’s the same thing
@cunning latch
Now inside of OBS Studio, the steps you took to enable Analog audio. Did you use the Configure Video button inside of properties?
Was the original issue that OBS was not detecting any audio at all, or no audio was going to the Desktop Audio like you originally setup?
I did it through properties. I have the chat link so I could speak with my friends. I’m hearing all the audio go to my headset. But none of it is being transferred to my obs desktop audio. @cunning latch
hello i have bought the elgato Camlink 4k
its always freezing
i have plug it in an USB 3.0 slot directly and i got also an Elgato HD60s ... doesnt it work together? ... do you have any tips for me ... with the freezing
@wide roost So inside of the Properties window in OBS Studio, is the audio mode at the bottom set to Capture Audio Only? And you have Custom Audio Device turned off?
I’ll have to let you know in a little @cunning latch what should it be set to?
@wide roost Well let's just stick to Capture Audio Only and make sure OBS detects audio being input and to see it shows up in the audio mixer panel. And we'll go from there.
@amber monolith Does it stop freezing if the HD60 S is not connected?
What software is this happening in?
I meant mostly temporarily to test. Do you have other USB 3.0 ports to try with it? Sometimes this issue can be caused by overloaded USB controllers: https://help.elgato.com/hc/en-us/articles/360028238651-Two-Cam-Link-4K-units-on-one-Computer-Two-USB-3-0-Root-Hubs-Needed
@cunning latch I did capture audio only and still nothing
So nothing is appearing at all in the Audio Mixer in the bottom of OBS?
Can you double check or screenshot the Configure Video window from OBS
@cunning latch so while it shows up on my screen, it’s saying no devices shown but I see the video lmao
@cunning latch
?
okay now i took of my HD60s and the cam dont freeze anymore.... but how can i solvew now the problem to capute my ps4 and my a5100
okay its still freezes
its now Just the CAm Link Plugged in and it still freezes
it last longer unfreezed but after a time it still freeze
From here I'd open a ticket with our team: http://e.lga.to/help
Probably will need some logs or other system info
Or you can call using the number in the link
Is there a website where I can order a USB cable replacement for the Elgato HD60s
@jaunty sun it uses a standard USB type A to type C cable.
Hello. Anyone else experienced an occasional green screen that flashes for a split second during stream? You won't see it, but your viewers will. Is there a way to solve it? It looks like one of those olden day TV sets that goes blank because of a lack of signal. I'm using 4k60pro mk2 capture card. I mean honestly it's really just a split second but I'd like to solve it if possible! Thanks
@worldly sigil so this one will work? https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Double-Braided-Type-C-Silver/dp/B07D7PJ6VS/ref=sr_1_15?keywords=USB+type+A+to+type+C+cable&qid=1584063614&s=electronics&sr=1-15****
Looks like it should!
Hello, I was hoping to get some help with my Cam link. I am using a Rebel T7, which hopefully works...since it is not exactly listed on the compatible list.

Hi guys, relating back to my question above. This is a clip of what happened during the test stream I did. Anybody knows what could be the cause?
Clip of froOzenkuku Playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare - Clipped by froOzenkuku
My HDMI is 2.0 and is rated at the right speeds and specs etc. It is not long either, about 1.5m
hello i have a little problem with my Elgato 4k60Pro capture card. after a little break from streaming my Game Capture Card doesn't work properly anymore. i can plugin the hdmi in and out cables from my console so that i can see my game on my monitor. When i open elgato software like Game Capture HD or other things it says "plug in your Game Capture device" i looked up all the driver updates but it's still not working. Would be awesome if someone could help me.
i want to stream my elgato using Steamlabs but all i see is it saying one moment please, but i am on the actual Elgato app and it is working fine on it
i should also mention that i have elgato HD60 S
hhhey guys, tried setting up hd60s+ on my macbook 2012 with obs and was able tto stream withh audio, but when I use it withh PC, audio isn't going through 😦 any drivers needed for windows? cause I also tried with a different laptop (Windows OS) and it worked. im confused.
@jaunty sun I've used this one for a few years. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GGKYS6E/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
@limpid adder Try reinstalling the latest driver here: https://gc-updates.elgato.com/windows/drivers/4k60-pro-mk2/download.php and then reboot your computer. This will ensure it's on the latest.
How often does it seem to happen?
@low timber Make sure Windows privacy settings allow the use of microphones: https://help.elgato.com/hc/en-us/articles/360027958672
@marsh sequoia Is this the original 4K60 Pro or the MK.2?
If you use 4K Capture Utility, does this also happen? https://gc-updates.elgato.com/windows/spotlight-update/1.0.0/final/download-x64.php
@valid galleon what specific help did you need? Have you had problems using it?
@ crest i'm using the first 4kPro Elgato
4k capture Utility says: Capture device not found
@marsh sequoia have you tried other applications? like slobs or obs studio?
@marsh sequoia Double check that windows privacy settings allow webcam use. Same article applies as to meraki: https://help.elgato.com/hc/en-us/articles/360027958672
Also try disabling Windows Fast Startup. This can cause some PCIe devices to go missing on bootup: https://www.windowscentral.com/how-disable-windows-10-fast-startup
The Windows 10 April 2018 Update (1803) introduced new privacy settings that may interfere with certain capture cards.Affected products:Cam LinkGame Capture HD60 SGame Capture HD60 ProGame Capture ...
the first thing i've checked already my privacy settings are enabled. i'll check the second suggestion asap
It's been known to mess with HD60 Pros which is why I'd give it a check. It's essentially Windows hibernate. It happens on shut down. Restarting windows though is like a proper start.
@cunning latch still no effect. i turned off the fast start and restarted the PC but i still encounter the same problem that there is no device even tho i see my game which i am currently playing
You're seeing it on your Monitor/TV, right?
@cunning latch I just got it, as well as my T7 and maybe I’m just not getting something right but I am getting no signal on the 4K capture utility and through my OBS
I did read that if I have Wifi enabled on the camera that it won’t connect to a computer so I was gonna check that when I get home.
The cam link does show up in device manager as well when it’s plugged in with or without the camera
@amber monolith im having the same issue with my camlink. I have tried everything suggested, sent logs, have it on the front usb hub alone...and still have random freezing. so frustrating
@signal sun I Have solved the Problem... the Problem was that i have Plugged the HD60S and The Camlnk 4k in the Same USB Root Host... after i found out what the problem was, i Plugged the both Hardwares in seperate USB Root Hosts, so both worked corectly
@amber monolith mine must be something else then because i made sure they are plugged into two separate roots. one in front and one in back
Streamlabs OBS button will not trigger stream no matter what I do. Scene selection works fine and is basically instant. Also removed confirmation of title and still nothing. Any ideas
My Computer won't detect the switch/capture card and it says it doesn't detect a device and it works fine on my laptop
please @ me if u can help
@low timber Make sure Windows privacy settings allow the use of microphones: https://help.elgato.com/hc/en-us/articles/360027958672
@cunning latch already did tthhihs, still not getting anything 😦
@cunning latch Do I need to download the latest Elgato driver on both my game and stream PC? They are connected via HDMI 2.0. And it doesn’t happen often. I think only 1-2 times during stream. But the problem is I don’t see it, only the viewers see it.
Hi! how 4k capture Utility program not working with OBS at same time!! !!! WHY ??
@sharp owl can you explain the issue you're having?
when i use OBS i cannot use 4k capture Utility recording at same time!!
look he is using both program at same time
What card are you using?
Multi-App support is only with the 4K60 Pro MK.2. If you're using another model only one program can access the device at once
i cant hear any alert sounds or spotify through my laptop when the elgato is in use. does anyone know why this is?
i click on the speaker in the corner of the windows bar and it says speakers (elgato sound capture) every time i switch to something else it switches back stright away to elgato sound capture
@south bronze just close the elgato sound capture
@cunning latch im using an Elgato HD60, whenever its plugged in the output to the monitor gives darker colours and is blurry (it is set to PC in Elgato Settings), and when its not plugged into the monitor everything goes back to normal.
Here are pics, 1 pixelated using the Capture card and 1 non pixelated not using the capture card
Top is the pixelated, bottom is the normal
@cunning latch i have both 4k60 pro MK2 using for gaming, and 4k60pro using for my webcam, so my capture on streaming pc
@cunning latch my Elgato HD60 S won’t connect to my pc
Like it will not detect the device
Hey everyone
I am having some issue with the Elgato StreamDeck.
after about 15 minutes of streaming, the streamdeck freeze and unable to switch scenes and do stuff with it. Completely un-usable
Can someone help?
I am unable to uninstall the software, nor update the software.
Hey all, I just bought an HD60 Pro and I'm having an issue.
I got it installed and running easily enough, the issue is while capturing the video from a second PC the bios and everything that displays before Windows opens is green or green and red. After Windows loads all the colors are fine and everything looks great, it's just the Bios that is having a problem.
Things I tried:
different cables, different GPU on the 2nd PC, various restarts, checked for latest BIOS/ drivers ect...
If I was streaming/recording gameplay this wouldn't be an issue, but the main content I want to do is PC overclocking which is mainly done in bios so wondering if anyone had any suggestions on how to fix this?
@exotic talon you tried reinstalling the drivers?
Just looking for a ballpark answer here : My MLB streams are about an hour long, what would be the suggested setting for HIGH QUALITY stream, and about how big would that file be?
My streamdeck has this problem. Note that it is off here.
Those are my YouTube and Twitch buttons
Whats it called? Image retention?
While streaming with the Elgato hd60s, my quality looks like it’s on 240p even tho it’s set to 720. It’s extremely blurry. Anyone know why?
hey i'm trying to do a 2pc stream setup with the elgato sound capture. The problem i have is that my game audio works but for some reason my mic audio isn't working. i have set it to capture the right device i want. Anyone can help?
Could someone help me get my Elgato audio set up before I have an aneurysm? Can't record game audio or Discord audio.
https://gc-updates.elgato.com/windows/drivers/4k60-pro-mk2 @cunning latch This link you sent. Do I also need to download it on my Game PC? The elgato 4k60pro is on my stream PC.
@next cave what driver? I was able to update the Stream Deck, and still, the streamdeck is not functioning after a few minutes of stream! This is very frustrating
Someone else having issue with the Stream Deck just freezing?
@limpid adder Just the PC that has the card installed. Just like how you wouldn't need to install the driver on your Xbox to capture from it, the gaming PC just sees an HDMI monitor as the 4K60 Pro.
@wide roost Is this with the GameCapture HD software? What is the streaming bitrate?
@exotic talon Give us a call: http://e.lga.to/phone We can walk through some steps there.
@limber jewel Is the PC on or off? Am I looking at a single button here?
@cunning latch it was on obs and gamecapture. My bit rate was at 3000
@wide roost Does it look bad like that in the preview window?
Yes it does @cunning latch
TV/Monitor passthrough looks fine?
Yep @cunning latch
So just to start, let's focus on getting Game Capture HD looking right.
On the top right of the software, what sort of input signal is it reporting? 1080p60?
Could you post a screenshot of what it looks like?
@cunning latch will call today
@cunning latch the PC is off and these are two buttons
got my xbox plugged up to my hd 60 pro.. and i turned on my xbox and now its not working?
its been fine since i got it and now its just not gonna work
@wide roost So Game Capture HD is showing 720p30 input. But the preview looks much worse than 720p30? Do you have the profile set to HD 720 or is the source running at 720p?
Could you post a screenshot from the software preview? Recordings are bad too?
@limber jewelWhat version of the Stream Deck software do you have installed right now?
@upper current Does the HD60 Pro show no signal or another message?
no
Does the system detect the HD60 Pro is installed?
Yes that’s correct. Everything is set the same. Unfortunately I’m not home so I cannot provide a screenshot. @cunning latch
In the preview window?
for like 30 minutes.
but i cant even get the game to show on my other monitor. like the one i play on.
Oh ok. Try reinstalling the HD60 Pro driver: https://gc-updates.elgato.com/windows/drivers/hd60-pro/download.php and then reboot the system, not a shut down.
Do you have other PCIe slots that the HD60 Pro could be installed in? if the driver reinstall doesn't help, I'd also try moving it to another slot.
After reinstalling the driver, yes.
brb
@wide roost Just was looking to see it for myself. But whenever you get a chance, open up OBS Studio like you mentioned, do a test recording. Stop recording. and then post an OBS log I can look through it.
Or. Just right click on your HD60 S layer, go to Properties. Then Click on Configure Video and post an image of what shows up there. This image is the MK,2, but it looks similar on the HD60 S.
The problem is, I’m on streamlabs obs @cunning latch idk how to post logs and things like that
Oh... Well the configure video window will still work. Not sure how Streamlabs OBS logs work.
Fixed my problem with BIOS showing up green and red, I moved the HD60 Pro to a PCIe x16 slot instead of using the PCIe x1 slot that it's setup for.
Hello, I bought the Elgato Streamdeck application on playstore, I tried on 2 different PCs and 2 different phones, I can't connect the application to my computer, I scan the QR code but the application pc don't do anything after
I am on the same local network, on the test of my 2 pc and 2 phones the screen stays like this
What should i do to fix the problem ?
Hi, I have some drop fps in my elgato every couple seconds and I already tried to reinstall everything including elgato drivers and obs and nothing helped.
@cunning latch I saw people were suggesting that my bitrate should be raised so im going to try that later
@tribal basin https://youtu.be/JmGQ6X8d0Y8 maybe you need to re setup your OBS again.
NVIDIA Encoder (NVENC) has been updated for OBS to give you better performance on GeForce cards. Together with the improved encoder of RTX cards, you can take full advantage for higher quality streams, and higher frames in game.
Here's how to configure the new OBS Studio 23 t...
Maybe you dont have enough memory ram or you have to much apps running at the same time. What model of capture do you have?
What windows do you have? I think you may need 16 of memory ram. 8 its not enough.
win10
To run windows 10 smoothly is recommended 16 of ram.
That could be the problem of your lag.
win8/7 will be ok?
Windows 7/8 use less memory ram; im not sure if this will fix your problem.
Could anyone walk me through setting up a stream deck hotkey to enable and disable screen preview on obs? I know how to set up scene transitions, set up event action lists or whatever its call, turn of specific things within scenes but I can't figure out how to enable and disable the preview window in obs with a stream deck hotkey. Am I missing anything really obvious here lol
is there any sort of manual for reinstalling the Elgato Green Screen's lid? It detached itself and I seem to have troubles attaching it again
@next cave you tried reinstalling the drivers?? How do I install new drivers on the StreamDeck?!
@exotic talon I would of thought they would be in device manager. I have never had any issues with my stream deck was just an idea.
@signal skiff You'll need to use a hotkey inside of OBS Studio, then make a hotkey button for it in Stream Deck.
@next cave never had any issue with my stream deck for about a year and half. Now it freezes after 30 minutes of streaming. I will go check in device manager.
@exotic talon well did this happen near a n update?
Or start happening near and update.
Like make a hot key button for the key on stream deck that activates the keyboard hotkey that enables and disables preview...? How do I that lol @cunning latch
@signal skiff You need to set a hotkey for it in OBS Studio. there isn't a defaultone.
Then whatever you set as the hotkey here, make a Hotkey button to correspond to it in Stream Deck under the System action set.
OBS Studio's integration doesn't support messing with the preview, so this is done through hotkeys for now.
I know how to make a hot key on obs. It's the hot key under source to activate the hotkey on obs where I get a little lost

there was a windows update 3 days ago, and since that windows update, the streamdeck is freezing 30 min. in stream
@next cave
no audio xbox one x to camlink?
Hello, I’m using elgato hd60 pro Mark 2 with pass through connections to my monitor. And I’m still getting tiny screen tear. Is there any settings i should change?
@signal skiff do you not have the option I showed in the screenshot?
I did that I made a hotkey for my keyboard to disable and enable the preview yes @cunning latch
And did you make a hotkey under the System Action Set?
Nothing in the preview is controlled by the OBS/Stream Deck Integration, so it's just a normal hotkey/keyboard emulation.
Gotcha. Ty man!
@cunning latch its working now. ty for help!!!
my 4k 60 pro mk2 is connected it has been working and now it says no capture device found
@tepid cosmos
@south bronze did you get it working? The only thing I can think of is looking into:
Are both applications on newest version?
Are both devices on the same network?
On the note of networks, which port is the streamdeck running on? Could be dope to forward the streamdeck to the wider internet for dope automation outside the house
I'm having some audio glitching and skipping using HD60 pro on OBS. Is there something I can do to fix it?
Seems to be worse when the audio in the game is loud too.
This sounds like clipping more than glitches and skipping
Look at the audio meter, if it goes "above red" then it's defo clipping
It's not clipping.
It's the game audio which is professionally mixed. Shouldn't have this issue.
OBS might be more sensitive ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I changed the sample rate to 48 khz and this had no affect.
What happens if you set the volume at a lower level in OBS?
Nothing, It's not clipping.
Welp that was my only guess
Have you tried Elgatos software, to see if the same thing happens?
Yeah the issue only seems to be on OBS
Have you tried OBS on a different computer?
(I'm just going through the troubleshooting steps I can think of)
It could be a faulty OBS install?
So I assume you're using Windows? Have you tried VoiceMeter to see if that somehow helps?
What would the implimentation of VoiceMeter be?
If you've for some reason acquired a macintosh, then Audio hijack seems to be the de facto standard
I'm running this on a Windows PC
What would the implimentation of VoiceMeter be?
Unsure if you know the program, it allows to do audio routing in software. The idea is to route the elgato audio through voicemeter to OBS
You may be able to do this with the elgato software, but I haven't used it and would not count on it
I've tired it before but I had a lot of issues using it with my audio interface.
I mean the fact that the audio is perfect on Elgato but not OBS is the big issue.
I get that
So I need to find out why OBS doesn't like that
That's what made me assume faulty installation
Hope it keeps my layouts lol
Alright yeah it kept them
Listening to see if this fixed it
So far so good
Ah and it broke
Just to make sure, did you keep an eye on the audio meter?
Because even though it is professionally mixed, OBS can still do wonky and unpredictable stuff with the audio
Do you have any VST's running?
There are some place where I can hear a "glitch" in the audio
Almost sounds like a buffering issue
Anyone in here know how to change the sample rate settings in Elgato?
@severe kite Can you be specific about what you're referring to?
Our cards natively run at 48Khz, so you won't be able to change the rate the card's function at. And Game Capture will be encoding/recording to 48Khz.
@molten rampart Had this happened before for you? Did you install any recent updates to Windows 10?
Does rebooting do nothing?
is it just me or is there a really hard to see line across the screen generally for capture card users? I see it even on other bigger streamers streams
Can you post an example?
nvm it was my chrome not having hardware acceleration on LOL
Hi, I have some fps drops in my elgato on preview and on obs every couple seconds and I already tried to reinstall everything including elgato drivers and obs and nothing helped.
@tribal basin Which Elgato model is this and could you share your system's specifications?
@cunning latch elgato hd60s
cpu - ryzen 1700
gpu - gigabyte gtx 1660ti super 6g
ram - 8gb 2400mhz
Does this happen even when OBS Studio is idle and not streaming or recording?
yes
also when the obs is not even running
and only the elgato game capture
in the preview
Could you post an OBS Studio log after doing a short sample recording. May have some info there.
@tribal basin Yea, that one has profiler information in the bottom.
Alright. So is the HD60 S capturing a console? I see that it looks to be configured for 1080p30 or at least intaking that format.
But besides that not much sticks out. I see your Brio running at 50fps.
Also this is a helpful tool for spotting any issues in the logs if you end up having a longer sample: https://obsproject.com/tools/analyzer/
OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) is free and open source software for video recording and live streaming. Stream to Twitch, YouTube and many other providers or record your own videos with high quality H264 / AAC encoding.
its capturing a pc
its configured as 720p60
ok i think this one is more detailed @cunning latch
Well if you're capturing a different PC which is outputting 720p60, then the HD60 S isn't setup to run at 60. But it's reporting 1920x1080 29.97fps
Also I'd definitely suggest changing USB 3.0 ports since low FPS could sometimes be caused by USB bandwidth problemss.
@cunning latch I was having some serious issues with audio and OBS crackling if you read up. I found that changing the Switch EQ to more treble reduced most of it but if you know a potential fix for this I'd appreciate it. The issue only happens in OBS using the HD 60 Pro but not Elgato directly.
To enable stream and record at same time do I just enable stream copy?
Didn't know if there was a trick or not lol
Anyone know?
@severe kite I'd probably email in about it so they can get some tracelogs from the card. http://e.lga.to/help
Audio crackle can have some deep issues in the system.
can anyone help with capturing game/party/chat audio from the PS4 Slim through the Elgato HD60s? what am I missing? I went from an xbox to PS4 slim and apparently am missing an adaptor?
so i have recently bought an ipad pro 2018 and wanted to use my hd60s to record and stream from it. Everything worked fine when on my old ipad, i did not change a single setting or piece of equipement except the ipad itself and the adapter. I am getting a No Signal warning in the game capture software and a green screen in obs. Anyone can help?
So i tryed using my HD60 S+ for the first time and it didnt work is there anyway i can make it work?
@severe kite did you ever get the audio working properly? I just remembered there are different audio drivers for Windows, maybe you can try a different one in OBS?
hhhey guys, my elgato hd60s+ doesn't hhhave a sound on my windows machhine but with my friends macbook and windows laptop itt does hhave an audio. been trying for a week now, and im loosing hope, trying it on my nintendo switch and ps4, no audio.
using 4k utility capture
please help
So I experienced a split second green disconnect screen while streaming but everything was fine after that. 4k60Pro dual PC with HDMI 2.0. Anyone else with a similar setup experienced it before ?
Mine just wont work please help
Hi, i come here for a trouble on my keylight ... i'm on the good place ?
I see my keylight on my control center on my mac et iphone but i can't see it on my pc ... I try ethernet & wifi connection, i try reset the lamp .... but nothing
When i reset, i see the keylight, i start the configuration. The control center try to connect, the lamp switch on and nothing on my control center
audio from hdmi is not going through in my PC, but works perfectly on a laptop. pls help
@low timber HD60 S+ sort of works like our Cam Link. Go into your Windows Sound Settings and be sure the HD60 S+ isn't muted.
Also be sure Windows 10's privacy options allow microphone use.
@limpid adder Not sure if we went over it, but you're using the latest driver for your device? https://gc-updates.elgato.com/windows/drivers/4k60-pro-mk2/download.php be sure to reboot after.
@karmic latch What software are you using? Do you see video on your TV with it connected to the HDMI passthrough?
Yes I am. Could it have something to do with the color settings ? I have everything set to 609 and partial on SLOBS and sources. But Nvidia control panel is set to Full dynamic range and RGB
That shouldn't cause that specific issue. That would just affect contrast essentially.
Ok, inside SLOBS. Go to the 4K60 Pro Properties, then go to configure video. What driver does it show listed there?
Also could you post a clip of this issue?
Anyone can help me with something, ive got 2 pcs, one to game one to stream. i can hear the microphone on the gaming pc just fine but not any other sounds (game, music etc.) im using a hd60 pro

so i have recently bought an ipad pro 2018 and wanted to use my hd60s to record and stream from it.

I am getting a No Signal warning in the game capture software and a green screen in obs. Anyone can help?
Hoping to get some help setting up my DSLR with cam link. I have the 4K software installed. I found the cam link as a capture device but with camera installed I have no signal. I’ve tried a few different things with no luck. Any help would be appreciated. I am using a Rebel T7
What software are you using with the HD60 S+
Game capture HD
Is it showing a message in the preview window?
Nope nothing
And you're on Mac or Windows?
Windows
Try our 4K Capture Utility: https://gc-updates.elgato.com/windows/spotlight-update/1.0.0/final/download-x64.php
Also be sure that Windows 10's privacy settings are set to allow Webcam use: https://help.elgato.com/hc/en-us/articles/360027958672
And you checked your privacy settings?
Yes
Does the software show in the Settings > Device, that the HD60 S+ is connected to the system
Have you tried other USB 3.0 ports on your system?
When you connect it, do the LED's light up ontop of the card?
yes
The lights show on the card
it lights up for a second then it doesnt show another light
Ok, so it's getting power then. And other USB 3.0 ports don't seem to do anything different?
Yes, but one of the previous solutions generally will have worked. Either the port is the issue, or Windows Privacy is blocking the card, or they're trying to use Game Capture HD.
And this also with the USB cable that we include with the HD60 S+?
StreamDeck: Is there a way to cancel a Multi-Action after it gets going?
I got this game capture card yesterday so yea
@karmic latch If this is also directly connected and/or you don't have another PC to test it with, then I'd suggest calling us or emailing in. I think we need some information from the system's logs to see what may be going on. http://e.lga.to/help
We've gone over all of the early troubleshooting here.
@tired stirrup Changing the profile will cancel a multi-action.
i will email
It's not possible to emulate pressing a specified Stream Deck button using Multi-Actions, is it?
I have already sent an email and no one replyed
I DID IT
I DID IT!!!
Thank you so much
Wait, what?

I’ve had this for a few weeks now
@cunning latch any idea on what I need to do to get my camera signal to be established for cam link? Can’t seem to get anything...maybe I’m doing setup wrong...
@valid galleon Do you have problem when it's connected to your TV?
hey guys, I just got the elgato HD60S +, and when I connect anything to it, the 4k capture utility displays flashing green/ black, and occasionally video from the source. I've tried swapping out cables to no avail. Any ideas on how to fix?
I’ve never used it on my tv I’ll try that today @cunning latch
I just got it about a week ago
Cam Link essentially acts like a TV to your camera. So it's how you can verify the behavior.
@rapid jungle I have the same issue but with the HD60s, I asked at least 3 times in this chat but no one answered
@odd lodge have you disabled HDCP?
what are you trying to capture from?
It's called High Definition Copy Protection
if youre trying to capture from a PS4 or XBOX One, youll have to disable HDCP in the settings
here's an example of my issue when trying to capture footage from my iPad Pro.
(SEIZURE WARNING)
hello everyone! I have an issue... I have a Macbook pro with 10.15 on it and an Elgato hd60S+ I downloaded OBS Studio and OBS Link now my issue is with OBS Link it says "Please connect a capture device" my HD60S+ is hooked up... I don't know what to do here and YouTube is no help and even under the preferences its says no device found.. but my Mac recognizes it on OBS Studio but has no display. I'm hooked up to an Xbox one X to the MacBook
@rapid jungle im trying to capture from my ipad pro too! mine is a pro 2018
everything worked before
but now i just changed ipad and it just does not work
does yours work?
@quick copper OBS Link is only for HD60 S. You don't need anything special for the HD60 S+. It works directly in OBS Studio.
Can you confirm if Game Capture HD is pulling in a signal from the HD60 S+?
This is what I get when I open game capture HD @cunning latch
On the top right there is a drop down, where it says Screen Link. It should show the S+ as well.
This should open up and show you the S+ as well.
Double check your MacOS Privacy settings, to see if it's blocking Game Capture HD from using webcams.
This can block capture cards like the S+
Do you see video on your TV/Display connected to the HDMI Output?
Yes
It’s saying USB 3 is required for this device. your capture device is not attracted to a usb 3 port
You mentioned you're on a Macbook Pro, right?
Are you using any sort of special adapter with the S+?
Does the Mac have only Thunderbolt or USB A?
Yeah. The MacBook Pro doesn’t have a actual USB port it came with an extension to plug into
And then I have a extension so my microphone and camera plugged in as well
It's possible the issue lies in this particular adapter. Is it an apple branded one? Or do you have a link to it?
It might be that this extension might be not wired for USB 3.0, would explain the message.
This one came with the MacBook
What am I looking at in the front? is that some sort of hub to connect more devices through that Thunderbolt/USBC extension?
That’s my second extension with multiple USB ports so I have my camera mic and capture card plugged into it that’s going straight to the mac
After unplugging the second extension and plugging capture card into just that usb it works on game capture HD
But now I have the issue of camera and mic not connected lol
Yea, I was thinking that second extension may only be wired for USB 2.0.
Yeah I guess I’m gonna have to buy another Mac extension
Because the microphone and camera worked fine on it
Separate USB C to USB A adapters would be easy to acquire for that use. Given the bandwidth needs for the HD60 S+, I'd recommend keeping it direct like now.
Ok thanks @cunning latch I appreciate it!
Of course. Glad that was a pretty quick issue. Let me know if anything else pops up or how the final setup works out.
Ok I will! Have a good night!
@cunning latch so maybe I’m doing this wrong...the tv sees an input from the camera and the camera changes from the live view to a black screen when I plug it in but I have no images on the tv. Likely doing it wrong to setup playback though.
Tv goes from no signal to a black screen so safe to say it is seeing an input there.
But it's not showing a live feed from the camera?
Correct
Is the camera in Movie mode?
Whats the model again of it?
Was looking to see if it had info on it
I'd be surprised if it doesn't work. It works on my 2013 60D. Albeit with overlays
Oh make sure WIFI is disabled.
I think that stops it
Weird cause all it says is to turn power on
Yep that’s off already I had seen that other day
I’ll double check
Well that's all I got at the moment. Since it's not working right straight to a TV, I'd perhaps talk to Canon about it or try another HDMI cable.
i think you have to have it in manual focus
I’ve been trying to connect my switch to my laptop (not using a tv) to play switch games on my laptop. Only problem is there’s a 2 second delay. Is there a way to fix that?
@cunning latch my HD60 S+ isn't muted
So this happens alot with streamdeck. If i freshly boot up my pc and start streaming on mixer my streamdeck chat buttons work. But after awhile they stop working and when pressed i get the yellow triangle. Only way to get them to work again is by restarting my pc
I’ll be having an AMD Ryzen 3900x
Would I be able to support 2 NVMe drives, one RTX 2080 Super, and an Elgato 4K60 capture card?? Are there enough lanes?
4K60 Pro MK.2
does anyone know how to do a 2 PC set up with a HTC Vive? i want to play Beat Saber via PC and stream off my laptop or the other way around but i dont think i can do it the other way around because theres only one hdmi port on my laptop. I have both a camlink & a hd60
Hello everybody,
I use a GTX 2080 Ti and the new Capture Card 4K60 PRO. When I open OBS the software shows me the picture from the PS4. But as soon as I open 4K Capture Utility and select the 4K60 the software says "The device is used by other software". I have seen in videos that this should work. Can you help me?
Thanks and many greetings from Germany
Dennis
Is OBS open when you open 4K Capture Utility?
@surreal ginkgo try and close OBS before you open 4K Capture Utility, does that help? Just a smidge maybe??
hi! I have performance problems with HD60 on OBS with a really high cpu usage, can somebody help me please?
I’ve been trying to connect my switch to my laptop (not using a tv) to play switch games on my laptop. Only problem is there’s a 2 second delay. Is there a way to fix that?
no @lament dome theres always a little inputlag on the capture card
theres any moderator or administrator that can help here please¿? 😄
they all dead
Damn I just really wanna connect my switch to my laptop so i can play it in my room :((
Hello, my stream deck has started to act funny. It will press buttons on its own and it seems that it is only certain buttons. Has anyone seen this happen before? It is causing a lot of problems.
@wooden remnant it worked with a ndi source. thank you sir
ndi?
NDI is a way to send video/audio source via the network.
what i want: i have the camlink 4k and 4k60promk2
i want on the one hand record the ps4 game with ingame audio and on the other side record my face. after record bring everything in premiere together. i connect the ps4 with the capture card an a optical cable for sound with a goxlr mini. i opend the 4k capture utility app and cant record with audio (i dont know why) i cant open the software again for the camlink4k so i try to user obs for my face and voive.
bevor i user the ndi source i had the problem that i dont get the ps4 view on 4k capture and obs at the same time. now with ndi source it works. when i change in 4k capture back to camlink as source my pictures of my face freeze in 4k capture and obs
i dont know what to do 😄
@inner herald what motherboard? Depends on the layout of the board.
Asus TUF WiFi edition
@surreal ginkgo if you're using the original 4K60 pro, then only one app can use it at once. The MK.2 supports multiple programs at once.
If you just bought it, then someone sold you the old model.
@granite dirge I would email in about this. May be defective.

@hollow nebula What are your system's specifications?
When you turn hide/mute the HD60 layer does the CPU usage drop again?
@cunning latch
Only with the capture card in the OBS, without any other scene or media
@inner herald I'll try to get to everyone.
@south bronze Is your PC wired or also wireless?
Is your PC's Stream Deck software updated fully to 4.6?
yes and my pc is with a LAN cable
I uninstalled and installed again the drivers of the HD60 and i have the same CPU problems...
what is HD60?
the capture card
I dont have a capture card
sorry sleybay, talking with @cunning latch
aha ok
so i have recently bought an ipad pro 2018 and wanted to use my hd60s to record and stream from it. Everything worked fine when on my old ipad, i did not change a single setting or piece of equipement except the ipad itself and the adapter. I am getting a No Signal warning in the game capture software and a green screen in obs. Anyone can help?
@hollow nebula Hmm. I'm not sure what directly would be causing this.
As a sanity check I'd maybe try opening Game Capture HD. Turn off Stream Command and Flashback recording in preferences and check what the idle CPU usage is there.
@inner herald After looking at the lane layout, it's a weird for an X570 because it doesn't have dual x16 CPU-connected slots. But maybe that's a more common thing with X570.
You only have one configuration in terms of connectivity. The 4K60 Pro MK.2 will have to connect through the chipset, that's the lower fullsize slot. One NVME will also connect through the chipset. And one NVME drive will be directly connected to the CPU like normal AM4 platforms.
If you weren't yet building a system, a motherboard with a different slot layout like the Crosshair VIII, Prime X570-Pro, Strix X570-E, or Strix X570-F could have the 2080 in the top slot. 4K60 Pro in the middle slot. Both cards would have dedicated lanes to the CPU without sharing. Though all those motherboards are more expensive, sometimes much more so.
However with that said, the 4K60 Pro MK.2, as with all our PCIe cards, is PCIe 2.0. Or 1/4th that of PCIe 4.0. So if everything on paper works as expected there shouldn't be a bottleneck in the chipset even with both NVME drives since they're all connecting to the CPU through four PCIe 4.0 lanes or ~7GB/s. So there is plenty of bandwidth on paper.
My concern is that with the motherboard you linked, if for some reason you have problems with the card, you have no alternative configuration.
With all that said, I use an X470 Crosshair VII with a 3950x and have my 4K60 Pro MK.2 going through my chipset without problems. But my board does not support M.2/NVME connecting through the chipset like your TUF X570. So my 4K60 Pro is almost the only bandwidth user besides SATA and USB.
@south bronze Can you confirm what version of Stream Deck you have installed on your PC? You can find this out by going into Settings and looking at the first tab General.
@cunning latch 4.6.1.12887
@cunning latch that was a huge explanation. I will do further research on new motherboards then. I have not yet built this system
Again, it's just me being cautious. Apologies if it's a lot to take in. Motherboards all route lanes differently so it can be a research task for use-cases where things are bandwidth sensitive.
I can't replicate your setup since my Crosshair VII doesn't run NVME drives through the X470 chipset.

i have been stuck with this for weeks now
Emailed elgato at least 5 times
changed adapters
tried everything
but nothing works
I need some Help i want to stream
@cunning latch I tried every thing but my stream deck mobile doesant want to work
Assuming there's no way to have a multi-action switch disable all OBS Studio sources at once? It seems like it takes about a second to turn off 8 sources (for when cutscenes play), and it would take about the same amount of time to just switch to a scene with my transition.
@odd lodge If you hook up the iPad to your TV, video comes through?
yes

So I am looking for some help setting up ICUE profiles on the streamdeck
does anyone have any experience doing this? Please ping or DM me thank you
Do I have to assign the profile to a key on my keyboard then use the streamdesk and assign that button to the same at I assigned it on ICUE
If you're just referring to changing profiles, you just need the iCUE Stream Deck Plugin added. You can then just directly choose which profile to change to.
hi! I'm having connectivity/responsiveness issues with my StreamDeck XL since I upgraded it to firmware 1.00.007 - anyone know anything that I might be able to do to troubleshoot it?

Simple dumb question. Why isn't there an option to start stream within streamdeck defaults?
Using game capture
Just got the Elgato Key Light and I've reset it multiple times. It will connect to WiFi, appear in the app for 5-10 seconds. Then disappear until I reset again. Anything else I can do?
I'm having a problem with game capture on my 4K60 mk.2. The audio seems to be about 1/2 a second behind the video. I just build a brand new Ryzen 9 3950x system and have installed all the drivers needed. I'm using the 4K capture utility. Any ideas?
how do i fix this problem with the installers no longer responding? trying to update mt stream deck and i keep getting the installer is no longer responding
nvm, apperantly photoshop has to be closed
so when a save a flash back sometimes it freezes the app and when i try and close it, it wont close
@cunning latch any idea you solved my last to problem
@ me if someone has a solution
Yo dudes, I'm not really a photographer or a steamer, mainly at the moment I'm planning on using my Sony A7 as a glorified webcam for Skype.
When I plug it in with the camlink the video that my pc monitor displays is grainy and horrible, however it becomes nice and crisp when I click the video record button on the camera, but obviously I don't want to have to actually have the camera recording when ever I went to user it as a webcam.
Can any one tell me how to get the image as clear as if the camera were recording?
Do you have it on auto mode?
It sounds like it does some noise compensation (the grains are usually called noise). Look into your setting, in this case it sounds and looks like the ISO is the problem
I'll have to urge you to look into the following three:
frame rate and shutter speed
aperture and f-stop
ISO
Also make sure the room you're using for your Skype calls are as lit as possible
@thorny jungle I hope my pointers can help you just a little?
@wooden remnant I'll check it out in a mo and let you know
😄
SO! Shutter speed should be approx double that of framerate (to make the most natural look), that's usually 30FPS then 1/60th shutterspeed.
F-stop should be low-ish, the lower the f-stop the shallower the focus AND the lighter the light
ISO is a finniky one, I believe the A7 has two native? Look into that and set it to native ISO
If you want to know why all of this, just ask
I started trying to figure the camlink out at like 1 last night, I'm only just getting out of bed 😩
An hour behind that
So GMT?
I think the one :p
Anyways, don't hesitate to ask in #camera-chat
Ait, I'm at my desk now.
I see, is the the incorrect channel for this question?
On a different note, as soon as I open Elgato Game Capture, a timer starts counting down, it displays disk space diminishing, as if it recording, though I've just opened it and not clicked anything.
How do I stop it from doing this? Does it save the video anywhere?
I see it seems to not save the footage? Because the Disk space resets everytime I close and open the app...but it is a disconcerting feature, I'd prefer it not to do this
@wooden remnant 🙃 My camera was not in movie mode
Movie mode shouldn't matter when we're talking about HDMI export
On the left is what was showing on my PC screen originally observe the grain, on right is what it was after I turned movie mode on
Yeah it looks like the case is, that the sensor isn't getting enough light
Adjusting things on the camera outside of movie mode, made the HDMI output, bright and grainy or dark and grainy...or normal and grainy, whereas in Movie mode, it easily go's to
Someone posted the following on reddit and claims that an Elgato staff member stated that Elgato was only designed to work Intel processors. They guy is running an amd processor that is over 10 years old and won't listen to anyone because said "elgato staff member" said that it's Intel only. I really don't think that Elgato would be saying something like that so someone might want to correct this guy

I don't know where that idea comes from, but Imagine from years of pre-Ryzen AMD users being told their system's don't meet the requirements. Because they didn't
I try to clear it up whenever I can. AMD is awesome and I recommend their Ryzen parts all the time. Much easier product stack to explain too. He did have a long thread from earlier in the week I need to reply to first.
@wooden remnant Correct. Cam Link, Cam Link 4K, HD60 S+ are our only UVC devices right now.
so as a mac user HD60S+ is my only pass through option?
HD60 S+ would definitely be my recommendation. Native support in so many programs without workarounds.
Anyone have suggestions on the elgato key light? I've restarted it over 20 times. It will connect to wifi with the control center app. Then disappear after 5-10 seconds. I'd then power restart the light, and same would occur
Further testing, I can close the control center app and reopen and it will stay active for another 5-10 seconds at a time without force power resetting the light.
@woeful solstice If you can see the light on the desktop app, go into the 'Accessory Settings' and check for a firmware update.
Ok thank you I will try
Crest did you see my problem any ideas what to do?
Saw this before it disconnecting
Ok looks like you're on the latest firmware anyways. Does the light stay on when this happens?
@rustic ginkgo Which app is this with? GCHD, 4K Utility?
The light stays on at the current settings, but hard to test all the shades. I turned it off overnight through the app. It wouldnt turn on today until I flipped the power switch on and off. While then reloading the app a few times.
*rather the app didnt see it this morning until I flip it on and off
I initially set it up through my phone, due to the wifi. After that, I've been doing it on the pc app. If this helps, for reference
@cunning latch 4k utility
@woeful solstice I don't think where you control it should matter for this particular behavior.
Only was asking about it staying on incase there may have been a problem with the light's power supply. From here if no firmware update is available, I'd suggest giving our team a call: http://e.lga.to/phone
Or an email: http://e.lga.to/help
I'm not sure what may be happening here. Could be network.
Ok thank you!
So I have a question, Some of my videos seem to take a long time to process on Elgato after recording, How long does it usually take for people's videos to process? I know length of video and quality can make a difference but I feel its taking longer than it should
I recorded a video which was about 40 minutes long, 15.8GB in total, and it took about 15 minutes to process. I have an i7 7086k Processor and Nvidia 2080ti graphics card. It seems a little slow with the stuff I have
Hello I have an HD60 S and when I try to stream it wont work because due to the accounts links that wont work, also it says that because I "don't have internet" but i actually do.
@tidal sedge What software is this? Game Capture HD?
Yes it is
But I’m connected to the internet tho
And it says I’m not when i am connected
Which streaming service are you trying to connect to?
And what version of Game Capture do you have installed? You can go to the i icon on the top right and go to about
PC SPECIALIST Vortex AR Gaming PC - Intel® Core™ i3, GTX 1650, 1 TB HDD would anyone be able to tell me if id be able to stream using this? im currently using my Macbook pro and an elgato hd60s to stream my ps4 and its not going well
im not looking to play game I just want it to have stream labs and a few other programs while streaming
Here are the Elgato Game Capture HD60 S System Requirements (Minimum)
CPU: 4th generation quad-core Intel Core i5 CPU (i5-4xxx or comparable)
OS: Windows 10 (64-bit)
VIDEO CARD: Intel HD Graphics, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 600 series, or AMD Radeon HD 6000 series graphics (or better)
so intel core i3 on that pc isnt good enough?
I would expect stutters on i3
which i3 processor is it?
it might work, it might not. if you have the system on your hands, try it out
DELL G5 Tower 5090 Intel® Core™ i5 GTX 1650 Gaming PC - 1 TB HDD what about this one?
Okay when I stream the Spotify plugin works than it dose this till I re turn on my computer I’ve redone the thing that give access to Spotify to the stream deck but still does this anyone got answers
yes, this is developers message on that one @bitter sand "In the latest version of the Spotify plugin, we are showing when rate limit/throttling is being imposed by Spotify. The Spotify plugin is using the APIs available from Spotify. Just like other API providers, they have a rate limit to ensure their APIs are not getting abused. However, UNLIKE OTHER API PROVIDERS Spotify is putting the limit on the APP (i.e. the Plugin) and NOT on the User. This basically means that as more people join/use the plugin the more EVERYONE gets throttled (even if you did nothing wrong). There are very large threads of other developers complaining on this with no solution coming from Spotify. BarRaider has specifically reached out to Spotify to ask that they increase the limits or provide some sort of solution. Unfortunately Spotify is unresponsive to these requests (which aligns with complaints from other developers using their APIs). We don't have a solution outside of asking for anyone who has contacts within Spotify to let us know."
Damn that’s shitty
@tidal sedge Yes, but what version is installed?
And what streaming service. Twitch, YouTube, Mixer, etc.
im doing twitch and let me check what version it is
@south bronze If it's the G5 I'm seeing it has a i5 9400. 6 Cores. 2.9Ghz base. Should work for streaming fine. I just wouldn't immediately go to 1080p 60fps. Start with 720p and see how it goes.
Twitch has made lots of weird changes to their login API over the last year and we've had to implement some changes to work around it. So good to know the specific version you have
So like 3.70.41, 42?
Same version as is pulled from this link? https://gc-updates.elgato.com/windows/egcw-update/3.70/final/download_x64.php
yes it is
I am having a issue getting my elgato HD60s to display my nintendo switch screen, its saying it, "needs to be connected to a USB 3.0 port to function properly". I have it in a usb 3.0 port and I have watched plenty of youtube videos and still no luck
@tidal sedge I'd try reinstalling Game Capture HD. But also clear your cookies and cache from your system's browser. Also be sure you have 2factor Authentication on for Twitch. Twitch requires 2 Factor to Stream. Otherwise I'm not sure what would cause that problem and I'd probably call or email us about it
So streamdeck wasn't picking up OBS Studio on-stream tonight. I closed OBS after stream, uninstalled SD software and installed fresh copy then reopened OBS after it was done. SD still isn't picking up Studio. . .
Is there a manual download of the SD plugin for OBS I can download since that didn't fix it?
Hey guys I have a question about audio issues with the HD50 Pro and OBS studio
hi there guys. the headache continues.
i only bought the Elgato Game Capture to capture the Wii.
for everything else, i have the Game Capture HS60S.
but that one thing it has to do, it doesn't.
no matter what i try. gamecube, homebrew (emulator), and i think i tried wii games too.
50hz or 60hz.
there is some weird flickering/twitching in the capture, which you will see in the video i recorded.
BUT: it is ONLY in the capture on PC. on my screen (HDMI output of the Game Capture HD) it looks perfectly fine!
also: this happens in all applications.
- tried elgato game capture software
- tried Streamlabs OBS
- tried OBS Studio
my original thought was "mabye the elgato software can handle it" ... but nope ...
does anyone know how to propperly capture the wii and fix that issue? tried all kinds of settings.
on a side note: this is an european (PAL) wii console. but that shouldnt make a difference. or does it?
here's the video: https://youtu.be/tbiWgu5sONw
my elgato HD60s has no issues capturing whatever. but it only had HDMI input.
and the wii doesnt have HDMI output.
the Wii is connected to the Game Capture HD via component (which i also only bought, in order to capture it with the elgato)
So just got my HD60 Pro;
Is there any place on the site/forums or elsewhere with a good guide for audio set up?
I figured out a good way to get my PS4 audio to output to my PC so that I and stream can both hear it (set audio output mode for elgato to "output desktop audio (waveout)" for no latency), but I cant figure out how to mute the capture card audio now, if its possible

Nevermind
Figured it out
@pearl belfry rightclick your audio mixer and go to advanced audio propperties.
set the capture card to "monitor only (mute output)"
oh, ok
i was too late
my audio monitoring device was set to the wrong thing
was set to "VIA HD Audio" which disappeared the second i swapped to speakers (High definition blah blah)
i did just rearrange all my wires n shit so probably hinkies from the wacky plugin
@south bronze whats the difference between monitor only vs monitor & output?
Oh mutes it going to stream
avoids echo im guessing
monitor + output gives it to your monitoring device AND the stream.
but if your monitoring device goes to your stream too, you have double sound. which isn't something you'd want.
that's only used if you dont have the monitoring device on steeam. if its just for you
gotcha
yeah, monitor only then it is
cool, thanks
even if it was a bit late, nice to know i didnt bungle things 
Is there any way to change the back button position for one specific folder (I know officially there isn't, but plugin developers have been quite snazzy and found ways to do it)? Since for most folders, the positioning is fine with the back button at the top left, but the Bitfocus Companion app is strict about its placement of buttons so it needs to use the top left 5x3 (row by column) section for its stuff. Trying to place the buttons elsewhere breaks it. So was wondering if there was a way to have the back button at the bottom left for that specific folder only.
only thing i could think of, would be profiles instead of folders.
use one main profile, that leads to other profiles.
and from other profiles, you make a "back" button, that leads back to the main profile
not sure how that'd work with timers or other stuff that might run in the background.
but i also dont know how they react to switching folders
That's what I've done currently but I want to know if there's a way that avoids that
not that i am aware of, sadly. bur mybe someone has an idea
I've seen BarRaider's plugin but that seems to change it for all folders within a profile
that's something i haven't even seen.
but he does have a lot of stuff that i am not aware of.
but yea. if you get such a plugin, it'd make sense to set an individual back button for each folder
if Bitfocus Companion wasn't so stringent in the positioning of the StreamDeck buttons this wouldn't be an issue
@cunning latch Okay thank you :3
Anyone know of a way to stream capture card to discord? 
Don't think you can
Bummer.
@pearl belfry if you're using OBS, you can put the preview window into it's own screen, then use that screen in Discord
(right click on the preview in OBS, then use Windowed Projector)
I am trying to stream with the elgato capture card through obs and i can see the image of ehat im doing on obs but on the stream there is no gameplay
I have now tried trough u guys game capture software it is litterally not showing the gameplay on stream
@rare kraken
Anyone have a hd60 pro and a 144hz monitor? Struggling to run at anything over 60fps for some reason
anyone able to help. I have a 2 pc setup and when in OBS i click on hd 60 pro it's just a black screen but if i open game capture within elgato it shows my other computer
You may need to choose the other game capture thing in obs, mine has 2 and only 1 works
Still baffled as to why my fps is locked to 60 with the elgato connected
Never used to be
Didnt work for me 😦
hi, Is there a way to mute my mic for specific applications?
I was doing a dual pc stream setup. Everything was good untill I put it on obs and it showed green static. What can I do, does it mean my elgato is broken?
that's what it loooks like

Hey guys is there a way to stream with 2 cameras at once? Someone suggested 2 capture cards and im wondering if elgato capture cards can do this .
Hello, I am new to using a 2 PC setup. I bought a 4k60 Pro Mk2 because I have a 240hz monitor and it says it allows 240hz passthrough but I am not getting that it seems. It is most visible when running games in borderless windowed
@rare tide Yes, in general you can use two Elgato capture cards at the same time. Only exception is with our original HD or HD60. Only one of those can be active at once on a system.
@frail burrow You're using a 240hz monitor connected to the 4K60 Pro output? Does that monitor report 240hz?
Try going into 4K Capture Utility. Go to Settings, Device tab. Then change the EDID mode to internal. Then change the internal EDID to 1080p.
@cunning latch Yes the monitor is set to 240hz and it runs perfectly fine at 240hz when the capture card is disabled. when i clone the card it is making games run at about 60hz in windowed mode. I already have the EDID mode and the Internal EDID set to 1080p.
So the game feels like 60hz? Inside of 4K Capture Utility what does the source show? 1080p60 or 1080p240?
source is saying 1080p240
I think I may have solved the issue by setting the capture card to have no scaling on nvidia control panel and have it set to override.
Hello I have question about the Elgato HD60s + for some reason its not capturing the game chat sound I have bought a new headset and the Stream chat link and still cant get it to work.
Hey guys! I've been having this issue and can't seem to figure out the problem.
Thanks in advance for any help.
@frail burrow So it was saying 240 before? Many problems are infact due to that scaling you mentioned. But you said you were using the Passthrough but then also mentioned cloning the monitor so I wasn't sure which method you were using.
Hello! Need help setting up my switch+elgato can anyone help?
I think i've plugged in every correctly but I cannot hear audio nor is my switch being shown on my monitor. It is only being shown on the capture card application. Is there a way to fix this?
Have you selected Switch in the Elgato software and checked the settings in there?
@cunning latch thank you for answering me so you would suggest hd60 pro or hd60s then?
Sure, you can use two of those. Or one of each if you wish.
@worldly sigil yeah I have, its displaying but not displaying on the actual monitor/tv I plugged it into

so I have a question? I have all my streaming stuff set up. I have an elgato HD60 S connected to my ps4 pro connected to my pc. and I have obs open on my pc to game capture my ps4 to go live on twitch. and I have my blue yeti connected to my pc and and my headphones connected to my ps4. because I want to be able to chat with my friends on the ps4 and I have the blue yeti connected to pc so I can chat with viewers. but my question is when I have all this stuff connected how do I get the obs to capture my ps4 sound gameplay? it will show my gameplay but it doesn't capture the sound? my monitor doesn't have speakers so is that why? or would I need a chat link? because I don't have one of those either.
Hey, I have a source within a scene. I have used delay to play the source, however when using the stream deck button it doesn't follow through and play the source. So I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Thank you
every time i try to connect my Stream deck mobile theres a Massage that it cant connect to the Host but idk why
and when i make a Ticket to the support i dont understand them because my english is very bad
out of the blue, the hd60S is saying that its not connected to a usb 3.0 port despite it always being there, anyone has faced this issue?
Hey everyone, I currently use the latest MacBook Pro and the Elgato Game Capture Card HD 60S. But I notice my battery is draining even when connected to a power source. Anyone else experiencing this?
Also, is there a solution to play on the PS4 even when the laptop is not connected? My screen stays black until I connect my MacBook.
hi, i cannot play at all on my ps4 pro with a monitor plugged in to elgato
have done all setting
I have my console plugged into my HD Pro, without the Passthrough, how can I route my audio to a different audio channel? I'm using a GoXLR.
@fallow tartan Is any video showing on your TV/Monitor connected to your Elgato device?
Is anything showing up in the capture software?
@tropic shuttle So battery is draining fast when the HD60 S is connected, but the Macbook is connected to a charger? The HD60 S does need power to enable the passthrough, but it uses only about 2watts.
Is Game Capture open when the battery is draining? What wattage is the charger?
@halcyon tide Same issue on all your ports? Does rebooting have any effect on this?
@upper veldt How large of a delay is this? Are you in a different scene when playing it?
I would like some help please so I have done what the YouTube videos have said plug in my hdmi in to pc and then plug my hdmi out to the monitor with that cable into my pc I then only see the ps4 through my monitors display and not my pc am I doing something wrong?
Would it be because I have one monitor
@dusky hedge Does the software recognize the HD60 S? Does it show "no signal" in the preview?
No it just says please connect your device
@cunning latch I started getting some issues with usb bandwith, because some things turned off on their own
And then I noticed I had HDMI In and Out backwards 
@dusky hedge Ok, double check to make sure Windows 10's privacy settings allow webcam use: https://help.elgato.com/hc/en-us/articles/360027958672
I'm so embarrased that I dont even want to replicate the error again

No, the feature was just added in 1803
So now if webcams are blocked in Windows, Game Capture or other software sometimes won't see them at all
Ah!
@dusky hedge Also try reinstalling the HD60 S driver: https://gc-updates.elgato.com/windows/drivers/hd60-s/download.php and rebooting.
The card not even being seen by the software relates less to your wiring setup right now. Just between the computer and card or some software problem
Also try reinstalling the HD60 S driver: https://gc-updates.elgato.com/windows/drivers/hd60-s/download.php and rebooting.
Yep I'm defo not getting the non-plus version, drivers are hell
They just might not have been installed with the software. Sometimes happens.
@dusky hedge the downloading drivers part was for you, apologies for hijacking the convo!
Thank you and that fixed it
@cunning latch does HD60S do proprietary stuff with the signal?
@wooden remnant What do you mean specifically?
I have my console plugged into my HD Pro, without the Passthrough, how can I route my audio to a different audio channel? I'm using a GoXLR.
@cunning latch Hello, I'm using streamdeck with latest update.. but the twitch option to [type something in chat] by pressing a button is not working
can
can't get audio out of my switch when my elgatos in can someone help
tryna stream but no audio 😦
does anyone know why my elgato capture software crashes when i go fullscreen?
@tropic shuttle So battery is draining fast when the HD60 S is connected, but the Macbook is connected to a charger? The HD60 S does need power to enable the passthrough, but it uses only about 2watts.
Is Game Capture open when the battery is draining? What wattage is the charger?
@cunning latch yes it’s connected and the software is open. I have no idea actually about the wattage. will have to check
60W i believe
@cunning latch I'll try and establish a different profile via Stream Deck. That may be the reason as to why it is acting up. Thank you Delay was 10k ms
When i click on video settings for elgato in OBS i get this
Click anything and OBS crashes
In a guide it shows this
Hello everyone, I just bought an elgato gamecapture 60s.
I have a problem since I cloned my main screen.
I no longer played in full screen windows at 144 fps, forced to put full screens to have 144 fps.
is that normal or are there solutions?
when i try and stream on twitch, i always get this white "Game Capture HD" tab that doesn't load, after waiting. it stops me from using the main tab i'm using, insisting there's something to do on the white tab before going live and so i can't stream on twitch. What should I do?
what causes Mixer messages to all of a sudden not work with the streamdeck and having to reset pc to get them too?
@minor ice Do you have Two Factor Authentication enabled on your Twitch account? https://help.twitch.tv/s/article/two-factor-authentication-with-authy
@stone forge Try reinstalling your HD60 Pro driver: https://gc-updates.elgato.com/windows/drivers/hd60-pro/download.php
The bottom image is when using the 'Elgato Game Capture HD' option list. You can certainly still use that.
What did you need to use that window for?
@tropic shuttle Only thing I could personally think of is that if the software is open, then by default Flashback recording is running which means your computer is actively encoding and recording in the background. This would significantly raise the power requirements of the computer.
Try going into Game Capture settings and disabling flashback. This would just be to see if we can prove it's the laptop pulling more power.
If it begins to charge, then you may need a higher power charger
No. I've just set up one now.
It still sends me to a page where I have to log onto twitch when I press the "stream" button, but now requires a security code via text. I've entered it and it's worked, but I'm getting the blank white tab like before again.
@minor ice try holding CTRL when adding the Twitch account, should switch to an older login method.
Also what version of Windows 10 do you have installed? You can open the start menu, type 'winver' and hit enter.
And what version of Game Capture HD?
Can I get some help with this please?
It's plugged into a USB3 port
I don't HAVE USB2 ports on this laptop
Anyone knows how to make the stream decks soundboard play through the mic in discord or any chat?
Hmmm. Ok. Try reinstalling the HD60 S driver: https://gc-updates.elgato.com/windows/drivers/hd60-s/download.php then rebooting your system.
Check for any Windows 10 updates.
Lastly, if you could provide the laptop's model, I can look up the USB 3.0 drivers for it. That may also help.
Sometimes it's the USB 3.0 controller that is misbehaving.
Oh it's working now?
I was going to say Asus doesn't provide USB 3.0 controller drivers from what I can see.
If it comes back, I'd go ahead and just directly email us. http://e.lga.to/help
Will do
hi um im having an issue aw with my elgato hd60s and Its playing back what I say after like 0.5 seconds
and i hear like a static
sound
and i can hear my like commentary playback 0.5 seconds after
if anyone can help thatwould be great
im on macOS
ok nvm i solved the playback issue
but im having a small static noise when i record my comentary
ok
nvm all that
but now im not getting any game audio
shouldn't there be a sound capture section below at the right bottom corner?
@cunning latch
im very sorry about ping but
i just need some help
also im trying to do something like
pc recording
but for mac
i have an external monitor and a macbook
i want to record macbook gameplay
Sound Capture is currently a Windows app only. So for MacOS, the Game Capture HD software won't show anything there.
So you're on a Mac, are you capturing another Mac?
A single mac, playing the game and then capturing itself to stream?
not stream
just record
but yes
a single mac recording itself
or is that not how it works
cus i can record fine
just sound isn'tcoming through
like its working
i can hear my own commentary and all but no game sound
is coming
I don't use a mac, but you should just need to go into your Mac's sound settings to set your HDMI output as the new audio output so that it's captured and recorded.
But we'd want to be clear that we don't really recommend using a single computer to both play the game and capture. It offers no real benefit. We almost always suggest using one computer to do all the capturing.
ok
i have another windows
can i use a windows and then capture my mac?
ive been really confused by this system thing
like im gonna play using the mac
how do i record with a pc
Sure. That would improve performance a lot.
Audio may still be weird to setup. But if you're using headphones, you could simply use a 3.5mm headphone splitter to connect your headphones to the Mac and also connect a 3.5mm cable from the splitter into the HD60 S.
well that would be a very simple and cheap option.
like into the hd60?
hmm
like the headphone port in?
like male to male?
im confused how does the audio in thing work on the elgato?
@cunning latch
The HD60 S's audio port is an input. So you'd connect a headphone splitter to the Mac's headphone port. Connect headphones to one side of the splitter.
Then connect a male to male. 3.5mm Aux cable from the other side of the splitter into the HD60 S. Then set your software to capture analog audio in the settings.
