Camera Hub
Camera Hub is Elgato’s macOS app for controlling compatible cameras, capture devices, and Prompter settings from one desktop interface.
What is Camera Hub?
Camera Hub is a macOS camera control app for people who use compatible Elgato video hardware in streaming, recording, conferencing, and creator workflows. It helps you adjust image settings, preview your video feed, and manage supported devices such as Facecam models, Cam Link devices, EpocCam integration, and Prompter from one desktop interface. Common tasks include tuning exposure, white balance, and other camera controls, switching to virtual camera output where supported, and updating or saving device-related settings for a more consistent setup. The app is especially useful for streamers, video creators, remote workers, and anyone who wants more direct control over their camera image than standard video call apps provide. On Mac, users may also encounter it when enabling Elgato virtual camera features or configuring newer Elgato camera accessories.

Safety overview
Status: Safe
Camera Hub is legitimate device-management software for Elgato camera products and related accessories. It may request normal access needed for camera and virtual camera workflows, and some features depend on macOS privacy permissions or system-level camera integration. If you use it with conferencing or streaming tools, expect it to interact with connected video devices and expose a virtual camera option where supported. Keep macOS and the app updated, and only grant permissions you intend to use.
Recommendation: Keep Camera Hub if you use Elgato cameras, Cam Link hardware, EpocCam, or Prompter features on your Mac. If you no longer use compatible Elgato video devices, you can remove it, but camera controls, virtual camera features, and related hardware setup options may stop working.
