Elgato Green Screen - Collapsible Chroma Key Backdrop, Wrinkle-Resistant Fabric and Ultra-Quick Setup for background removal for Streaming, Video Conferencing, on Instagram, TikTok, Zoom, Teams, OBS

I researched the heck out of green screens before I purchase the Elgato, including reading lots of user reviews (thank you!). It's been absolutely perfect for teaching online and recording video. I'm using it with Zoom, Teams and OBS Studio and have had next to no issues. For context, I'm teaching from a 35-foot fifth-wheel trailer, which means I have high ceilings, an open floor plan behind me, and next to no space to spare. The screen is easy to put up, take down and store. It's critical to remember to open the feet before extending the screen, but you're really only going to make that mistake once. You'll either destroy the screen or be unnerved that you almost did. No wrinkles, no transparency. Quality fabric that also makes a bit of a sound buffer (at least in my small space). I've downloaded a few out-the-window images and frequently have people ask me where I am, so the green screen is doing its job. As others have pointed out, it's narrow and you have to be creative with angles with some applications, but using OBS Studio completely takes care of this issue.

I recently purchased the Elgato Green Screen XL (79x72) for my streaming and recording setup, and it has been an excellent addition. Performance and Features: The Elgato Green Screen XL is perfect for background removal during streaming, video conferencing, and content creation on platforms like Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Zoom, Teams, and OBS. The wrinkle-resistant fabric ensures a smooth and professional chroma key effect, making it easy to replace the background with any image or video. Design and Build Quality: The green screen is extra wide, providing ample coverage for various recording scenarios. The fabric is high-quality and durable, ensuring it remains wrinkle-free and effective over time. The screen retracts into a sturdy aluminum case, making it easy to set up and store when not in use. Ease of Use: Setting up the Elgato Green Screen XL is straightforward. The screen pulls up and locks into place effortlessly, and the retractable design makes it convenient to pack away. It’s a user-friendly solution for anyone needing a reliable green screen for their content creation needs. Size Consideration: One thing to note is the size. At 79x72 inches, the screen is quite large. I underestimated how big it actually is, so I recommend measuring your space before purchasing to ensure it fits your setup. Conclusion: Overall, the Elgato Green Screen XL is a fantastic investment for streamers and content creators. It offers excellent performance, build quality, and ease of use. Just make sure to measure your space to accommodate its size. Highly recommended! Pros: Excellent for streaming and recording Wrinkle-resistant fabric for smooth chroma key effect Sturdy and durable build Easy setup and storage with retractable design Ample coverage with extra-wide dimensions Cons: Not really a con, but make sure to measure your space before buying due to its large size

This green screen is exactly what I needed. I’ve used others before, but this one blows them away in both design and performance. It takes literal seconds to set up or pack away, and the screen is perfectly taut, which is critical for clean chroma keying. No wrinkles, no weird shadows—just plug and play. Pros: - Sets up and collapses in seconds - Sturdy base and smooth lift mechanism - Screen is perfectly flat—no ripples or slack - Zero shadowing issues in chroma key software - Collapses into a reasonably portable case with a nice handle for carrying it - This isn't exactly a product pro itself, but there are a lot of great videos on YouTube for setting up the screen to get maximum efficiency. Cons: - A bit pricey (but 100% worth it for the hassle it saves) If you're serious about streaming, content creation, or any kind of virtual background work, this is the one to get if you have the budget. No regrets.

The Elgato Green Screen is truly a great product. I really wish there were more makers of green screens like this one. I've been using mine for several months now and am ready to review the product based on reliability and longevity of the products lifespan. PROS * Build Quality: The materials used are of high quality and it still functions as well now as it did when I first got the product. The metal hasn't been scratched or dented in the continuous use I put it through. The mechanics inside are still sliding up and down silky smooth. I put it up and down for each use. The screen has not faded at all either. * Ease of Use: It is super easy to use as you can just undo the latches on the metal casing and then pull the screen up. The mechanics work so well you can do it with only a couple of fingers. Same with collapsing the screen. * Portability: Before getting this screen I used a chroma key cloth and PVC pipe to create my own screen and stand. This solution is much more pleasing looking and takes up so much less space. It also makes it easy for setup and take down. * Height: I find the height of the screen to be a great size for indoor conditions. CONS * Width: This is a personal preference so I won't dock it any star power. I find the width to be good enough to sit directly behind my chair with my webcam zoomed in. You won't be able to do any wide shots or use a widescreen capture with your camera with its current size. It isn't possible to have two people sitting side by side in front of it either. I do wish there were some size options, as one size doesn't fit all. I understand that larger screens would be much heavier and more rigid to move around but I'd do it. Especially to be able to fit in a second person or get some breathing room between my chair and the screen. *Feet don't lock: The feet currently are slightly tight so they don't completely spin around but they don't snap or lock into place when you get them into position. I wish they would so that they don't move on me when I go to the next side to adjust its foot.

Pretty amazing greenscreen. It is very big, so measure your space accordingly. It's super easy to set up and put down. It also has great vertical coverage. It's not portable at all if you don't have the strength since it's big and bulky, but it is super easy to set up and put down. I found that it feels more stable than the smaller one and prefer that this version has a stand that clips into place. It is worth the money. Unfortunately, due to a misunderstanding, I had to return my first XL which was PERFECT and had no issues whatsoever. My second XL one still works really well, but on the left side of the green screen I notice that it's not perfectly taut and the fabric is just slightly wonky which the software picks up on. This didn't happen with the first one I bought. Still an excellent product.

Super smooth, no wrinkles. And it’s built INTO the case it comes in! Just roll up and you’re good to go! Moving? Roll it down and close it! Good to go! Super amazing. Please spend money on this rather than any other green screen. You will be so happy you did!

This might be the best green screen setup I’ve ever had. No more fumbling with stands and clips and clamps. No more ironing or steaming out wrinkles and fighting creases for even lighting. This green screen is easy to use, functions perfectly, is sturdy, and is worth every penny. It’s self-enclosed in its own stand, and sets up or breaks down within seconds. The color is even and just the right tone of green to make keying easy as pie. It’s absolutely HUGE as well, going almost as high as my ceiling (if you want it to!) while still being fully adjustable to your custom height. It’s wide enough to cover my whole frame, so it’s perfect to replace your background on things like photo shoots, video special effects, live streaming, social media videos, or even office zoom calls and virtual meetings. The only thing I would change is to get 2 more to build a makeshift 3D space for sci-fi movies! Only con, is it’s a little large so you will need storage space, or a truck to haul it to other locations if you need to move it. Overall, the best screen I’ve ever had, you won’t be disappointed!

I was looking for a green screen background to use with zoom to make my virtual backgrounds look better. The Elgato green screen fit the purpose very well. I wanted it to be easily stored when not in use, in addition to it being a green screen that does the job. This one fits those goals. I could tell the quality right away. After removing it from it's box, I placed it along the baseboard behind my kitchen table where I normally do my zoom meetings. It's out of the way there and doesn't interfere in the regular use of the room. When I want to use it, I unhook the two latches on the aluminum case, open the lid, and pull straight up with the center mounted handle. It easily moves to it's 6 foot height, and stays there. The pneumatic cylinders that assist in that, work smoothly and quietly. To lower it, I reverse the process and press it down from the center mounted handle until it is completely rolled back up and contained within the case once again. Close the lid, and it's done. I've seen others mention that the two latches that hold the lid closed, had failed. I'm going to assume that those latches have been redesigned since those reviews were written, because they appear to be nice and solid now. I've read reviews on look a like green screens, and while some may be perfectly fine, I see lots of reviewers state that the Elgato is the gold standard in these as far as quality is concerned. I tend to agree with them. Elgato is owned by Corsair, a company that makes other products such as computer power supplies, RAM, CPU coolers, cases, etc, for years. They have always been high quality, and I've used their parts many times in my computer builds. I also recently bought a Elgato CamLink 4K video capture board..again that item is regarded as the best of what is available in that category. I'm very satisfied with my purchase. It works perfectly, and feels like it will be durable. Edit: Sept 2021. I've been using the Elgato green screen for a year now, and I'm still impressed with it's capabilities and it's quality. I've carried it to remote events and have had no issues with the strength and reliability of the latches that hold the aluminum case closed.
