This would be great for plugging all elgato products into such as mic and facecam so they are all together in one neat package and out of the way behind my monitor with easy access.
It would work well for that. My biggest concern would be with the Face Cam. Ideally that would be plugged directly into the computer, but it should be doable.
I purchased an Elgato USB Hub for my stream dec +. I have it attached to an Anker 250 power bank, via the 100 watt cable Elgato supplied. Only the Elgato logo on my Streamdeck + lites up. It does not show anything else. If I disconnect the USB Hub, and go direct to the Streamdeck + all is fine. Anything else I attached to the Anker power hub works fine. Any ideas, or advice is most welcome. Thanks in advance.
My first thought is that it it doesn’t seem to be communicating with the computer when it’s connected to the Anker. There are two USB-C ports on the USB Hub. One is for power and one is for the computer connection. Do you have a cable going from the Hub to your computer?
I’d recommend reaching out to Elgato’s tech support for some assistance. If you’re connected to power and your computer, the StreamDeck should be powering up and functioning.
The short answer is yes. The longer answer is you’ll be fine in most cases, but if you’re doing anything that requires high speed, you’ll be better connecting straight into the computer. The biggest exception I can think of would be if you’re working with video. You’re likely to run into speed issues when recording video to the drive or trying to edit from it.

Can you plugin a usb c monitor as well? That would be awesome!
I tested it with my monitor and it didn't work. My monitor is a 49" monitor, so I don't know if it would work with a smaller screen.

@@jesse.mccune All cables are connected correctly.

Can i launch an external hard drive with a button if plugged into this usb hub? Basically want to avoid plugging/unplugging a drive into a computer.

would you recommend this for using a usb mic from a different manufacturer?
@@eyesac7486 It should work with any USB mic regardless of who made it.
