Even Webcams are evolving from being mere laptop add-ons thanks to companies like OBSBOT. I’ve been talking about making multi-camera studios with OBSBOT for a few years now, and with the new OBSBOT Talent, you can produce shows anywhere. The OBSBOT Meet 2 4K webcam promises to be a game-changer, offering a small but powerful solution for everything from video calls to on-the-go streaming setups.

OBSBOT Meet 2 in a Nutshell

Actually, I think the OBSBOT Meet 2 could fit in a nut shell – only coming in at 45 x 36 x 22.2 mm. That’s no bigger than your Car key Fab, Apple Airpods case, and smaller than a pack of cards.

The OBSBOT Meet 2 4K packs a punch in its tiny frame:

• Half-inch Sensor, f/1.8 Aperture: Ideal for low-light environments.
• AI-Powered Commands: Digital zoom and tracking capabilities to keep you in the frame.
• Advanced Autofocus: Ensures sharp focus, even during movement or dynamic scenes.
• Background Blur and Beauty Options: Perfect for hiding distractions or adding a polished look to your calls.
• Dual Noise-Canceling Mics: Useful for Zoom or Teams meetings when external mics aren’t handy.
• USB-C Connectivity: Streamlines setup across Windows, Mac, and Linux devices.

With a 1/4″ mount for tripod use, and a magnetic base, you can place the camera in many places you never thought you could.

Features that Can be Turned Off

Through the OBSBOT Center app, you can customize the experience to what you need. That way the camera isn’t blurring backgrounds or moving around because you raised your hand.

Does it Do Vertical Video?

Turn the camera 90 degrees and let the software know you are creating a vertical video. If you use switching via OBS, you will have to turn the video 90 degrees.

Setting Up and Using the Meet 2

Straight out of the box, setup is a USB-C connection away. The OBSBOT Connect software can turn on and off features, allowing you to adjust everything from exposure and white balance to AI framing and even those hand gestures. The AI ability to digitally mimic PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) functionality is a huge plus for such a small device.

If you’re doing a Zoom call in 720 or 1080, the Meet 2 4K will allow you to move around the area without degrading the video.

The Meet 2 shines brightest in its versatility. You can use it for:

• Remote Work: Its wide, medium, and narrow framing options help you present your best self.
• Content Creation: Whether you’re live streaming or recording, the Meet 2’s AI-powered zoom tracks you seamlessly.
• Compact Production Rigs: Paired with tools like OBS, Talent, or multi-camera setups, it becomes a reliable piece of a lightweight mobile studio.

Real-World Applications

One of the standout use cases is for musicians or live performers. For example, setting it up to capture a drummer’s close-up without overloading the frame with cymbals shows how adaptable the Meet 2 can be. Its compatibility with HDMI and streaming tools like OBS expands its utility further.

Minor Trade-Offs

While the OBSBOT Meet 2 excels in many areas, it’s not without limitations:

• Digital Zoom Quality: At higher zoom levels, video quality starts to degrade, which is expected but worth noting.
• No Physical Case Included: You’ll have to get creative with storage solutions.
• Gesture Controls: Though handy, some users might find them overly sensitive in dynamic environments.
• Vertical Video – No second tripod thread: Your tripod mount on the Meet 2 is on the bottom, but nothing on the side.

Adding to the OBSBOT Talent

If you checked out or bought the OBSBOT Talent, you can easily use this camera with it. Actually, any device (like a Yolobox or Magewell Director) you’ll be able to use this camera with.

Whether you’re upgrading your work-from-home setup or building a portable streaming rig for CES, the Meet 2 is a compelling choice.
