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.

If you plan of using a green screen consistently this is worth the investment. I bought this pretty early on in my streaming journey and it worked really well for what I wanted. The storage part is very good, this is a long boy but it doesnt take that much space. You can prop it in a corner of the closet or behind the door on the floor. It's stable enough with the bottom support legs which you can collapse into the body of the screen for storage. It is a perfect vibrant chroma green and you will need good lighting to get the chroma to work so that's a general rule of thumb.

I am so happy with my purchase. I tried multiple green screens before. In my previous house, I had the luxury of a home office and nailed the green cloth to the wall behind me. That worked very well, but we had to downsize when we moved to a more expensive state. Now, my current office space also serves other purposes, so I needed more professional options (Incidentally, a nice room divider works beautifully too; I wanted the green screen for extra pizzazz in my presentations and to position my video in front of the slides.) Then, I tried multiple "chair" green screens. They never covered the entire background, even if I zoomed in my image as much as I could. Also, the chair green screens feel uncomfortable behind me, especially if they are larger (they feel like they don't belong to your chair). Then, I clipped the green cloth screen I brought from my previous house to a room divider. That "kind of" worked, but again, I had to move it super close to my chair, literally next to where I was sitting (otherwise, the real background would show up). I felt claustrophobic and uncomfortable. Finally, I ordered this one. It worked! I am not too good at setting things up, but it was learnable—certainly easier than closing those impossible-to-close chair green screens! It opens and closes very smoothly. It is large, but it fit my not-that-large room fine (just make sure you have the space for it before ordering). I was also able to move it a bit farther away from me, so the feeling of claustrophobia disappeared. Even with my older-than-the-hills Logitech web camera that I probably bought for 30 bucks a zillion years ago, the green screen worked fine (yes, I ordered a new Logitech that will mercifully arrive on Monday). There were no weird shadows, wrinkles, or anything to distract from the fun backgrounds I found on Pixabay and Canva (also, the software I use, call mmhmm, has amazing constant-motion backgrounds that feel very real). After I was done, I just moved it against the wall in a closet. Strong recommendation: Purchase this one instead of the smaller version if you can. The smaller these things are, the more you need to zoom yourself in and the closer the screen needs to be to your chair. If, like me, you hate having something just behind you (leaving you no space to breathe), you will need something larger. All in all, this wasn't the cheapest option, but at least it worked. I decided that when setting up my home office, the cheapest option just means purchasing and returning items a thousand times. Now, finally, this is it. Note: I didn't rate durability because the screen just arrived today. I'll let you all know after a few months how it works, but the quality of the material seems pretty decent.

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!
