Elgato Studio 1.0 Beta Changelog

Important Note:

This software release is no longer in beta.  You can find out more, and download the final version now via the Elgato Studio Release Notes.

 

We’re excited to introduce Elgato Studio, our new capture app for Windows and macOS. Built from scratch, it combines device control, settings, preview, and recording in one clean, fast, and easy-to-use interface. And of course, Stream Deck support, so you can control your capture with a single tap.

Elgato Studio works with the following capture cards:

  • 4K X
  • 4K Pro
  • Game Capture Neo
  • 4K60 Pro MK.2

  • Snapshot: Grab stills right from the video preview
  • Recording: High-quality capture with minimal impact on your system
