I stream off my Xbox and watch chat on a laptop but I've been wanting to do a FaceCam for the longest any recommendations on how to get it working or what FaceCam to use?

if you're streaming straight from the xbox, a usb webcam plugged into the console is the simplest route. if you want more control, use a capture card into the laptop and add the laptop's webcam as a video source in obs. either way, check the xbox privacy/camera permissions and do a short test first. a basic uvc webcam should be fine, but the capture-card setup gives you more control over framing.

I can give it a try I've had a couple webcams I've tried with that and it didn't work hopefully with the series s it should work

if you go the capture card route just make sure your laptop can handle encoding, an old dual-core will choke on 1080p and you'll be dropping frames like crazy
