Meet Like You're There: Inside Elgato Conferencing Kit +

Last updated:

Video calls have become how work happens. Sales pitches, executive briefings, team meetings, client check-ins, all on screen. But something about most calls still feels slightly off. Elgato Conferencing Kit + is built to fix that.

What is Conferencing Kit +?

Conferencing Kit + is an all-in-one video meeting solution. Not a bundle of separate products. One unified system designed from the ground up to make every call feel like an in-person conversation.

It includes a webcam, a teleprompter, an adjustable desk mount, a laptop stand, and a USB hub with power delivery. All of it works together through a single USB-C cable to your laptop, ready to go in seconds.

Why eye contact matters on video calls

On most video calls, you're looking at the person you're talking to on your screen. Your camera is somewhere above the screen. The result is that you appear to be looking down or away the entire time. Other people on the call can feel it, even if they can't name it.

Conferencing Kit + solves this by placing the camera and the call window on the same axis using a beamsplitter, the same technology used in TV studios. When you look at the person on the call, you're looking directly at the camera too. For a deeper look at why this matters, see our guide on eye contact on video calls.

A premium camera and teleprompter built for meetings

Two products sit at the heart of Conferencing Kit +: Facecam MK.2 and Elgato Prompter.

Facecam MK.2 captures uncompressed Full HD at 60fps through a Sony STARVIS sensor, with HDR support that handles tough lighting and a built-in privacy shutter. Prompter sits in front of the camera with a built-in display that shows your video call window through a partially reflective glass. Together, they create the eye-level, face-to-face look that no single webcam can deliver on its own.

One cable, full setup

Conferencing Kit + is designed around your laptop, not around its own footprint. The integrated USB hub provides four high-speed ports and delivers 65W of power back to your laptop, so a single USB-C connection runs the entire system and keeps you charged through back-to-back calls.

The adjustable laptop stand fits screens up to 16 inches and sits cleanly around the desk mount, so your workspace stays compact whether you're at home, in an office, or in a coworking space.

Works with the apps you already use

Conferencing Kit + works out of the box with Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Webex, and Slack. No software install, no drivers, no extra configuration. Open your meeting app, select your camera, drag the call window onto Prompter, and you're ready to go.

Includes one year of Airtime

Every Conferencing Kit + comes with a one-year subscription to the full Airtime suite, plus a lifetime subscription to Airtime Camera. Use it to apply branded looks, custom backgrounds, lower-thirds, and reactions to your video feed across every meeting app you use.

A redemption code is emailed after your order ships.
