Elgato Marketplace review

Elgato Marketplace is where Elgato sells and curates digital assets for its hardware and for OBS, and the old Visuals by Impulse address now redirects to it. For streamers the key section is OBS scene collections: themed packs from Elgato and community makers, many listing more than 12 or 17 widgets and 5 or more animated screens, in styles from fantasy and retro to synthwave. The Marketplace Connect plugin for OBS installs them, which removes the usual step of importing files and fixing broken source paths. The same store sells animated virtual backgrounds for green screen footage, LUTs for Elgato Camera Hub and Stream Deck plugins, profiles and icons, with a few free items mixed in. The drawbacks: many scene collections are marked Windows only, alerts still come from a service such as StreamElements, and our location only showed prices in Polish zloty, so we have not listed a USD figure.

Who it is for

OBS users on Windows who want a complete scene collection that installs in a few clicks.
