UGREEN Full HD 1080P 30fps Video Capture Card 4K HDMI to USB 2.0 | USB-A/USB-C Audio Recording for Gaming Capture, Streaming, Teaching Compatible with Switch 2 Xbox PS4 PS5 Camera

This is a great product for the price. For my purposes it is just as good as the brand-name gaming-centric video capture devices that cost 10x as much. (I have one of those also, and I never use it and use this one instead because of its size/portability.) I use this almost exclusively for doing live streaming on Zoom for church services, using 1080p video. I use a digital camera that has a mini-HDMI out, from which I use an adapter to go to full-size HDMI, then an HDMI cable into this dongle (then USB into my computer). The quality is great and I've never had significant issues with it. After using one for over a year I bought two more for use by others at another church location, and they've also worked well. I usually use them directly as the camera in Zoom, and I have also used them as a video source in OBS to combine multiple camera feeds into a single stream. I have also used it a couple of times to do a screen recording of a computer (taking the HDMI out of the computer and plugging it into this dongle, then into USB). In that case the source computer sees it as if it is any external monitor. Once for grins I used it as a "loopback" taking the HDMI output of the computer and plugging this dongle into the same computer. It worked to create a "virtual" monitor that I could only see as a camera input on the computer. So if you like doing life on hard mode you could use this to do a screen recording from a computer. A few things to note: 1. I love that it has both USB-A and USB-C connectors built in. This is very convenient. 2. The "no signal" indicator is kind of a funny/strange graphic. It looks a lot like the rainbow-colored bars image that was used on broadcast TV years ago when there was no signal. That graphic appears when no source is connected. It also appears momentarily when I have turned off the camera in Zoom and I turn it back on again, or when I switch camera inputs to this one in Zoom. 3. I was curious so I tried using it to capture copy-protected content. It doesn't circumvent the DRM -- it just shows the "no signal" graphic. 4. Sometimes if I connect this device to my laptop before I turn on my computer and start up Zoom, Zoom doesn't see the camera input. To fix it, I unplug the USB connector and plug it back in, and after that it always sees it. 5. The camera name in my computer/Zoom shows as "USB Video Input" and the corresponding audio feed shows as "USB Audio Input" (or something like that) -- so it's an accurate but generic name, which makes it easy to miss at first glance. (I use a separate audio capture device that shows up as "USB Audio Device" which makes it even more confusing 🙃.) 6. I wish the dongle had some label or text that indicates what it is. All it has is the "UGreen" branding, so visually it's impossible to distinguish this dongle from the much more common USB->HDMI dongle that's used to connect a monitor to a laptop. I am careful to keep it separate from other dongles so I don't get confused about what it is.

I have an old Canon cinema camera that I wanted to connect to my PC to use as a webcam (partially as a joke because it's wild overkill) and this adapter worked perfectly to grab the HDMI signal from the camera into the computer. I was looking at other capture cards that were almost 10x the cost and for my purposes that was just too much to spend. When I found this one it was an easy decision. UGREEN is a very reputable brand and the price was fantastic. For me this adapter was truly plug and play, and I had it up and running in a matter of seconds. I have a fairly modern desktop PC running Windows 11 and it immediately recognized it as a camera input. The actual adapter is compact and feels very high quality and I love that it has the type C to type A adapter built in. This little device is definitely going to be a useful addition for all kinds of video capture projects... or just the most overkill webcam ever.

works great for capturing drone footage on my Ipad

I do IT work. There are times that I have to work on headless servers with no monitor near by. Since I always have my phone, iPad, Chromebook or laptop with me, I just feed the video through this and the camera app so I can see the servers display. So far it has worked with all of my "capture" devices.

My apologies this actually works and grabs video, I haven't been able to properly test as of yet. But for anyone looking to use it turn off HDCP on your device first that's where I made my mistake.

I got this to live stream a hummingbird nest from my macbook. Most people recommended much more expensive options, but I figured I'd try this first and see what happens. It worked great! I had to tweek the settings to get the right quality with my internet connection, but it worked really well. I'm glad I didn't invest more $ when I'm not making any money on my nest cam stream.

Great HDMI capture card. Works great out of the box. On Mac OS and iPad OS. Without any drivers. On Mac, it's basically plug and play when using something like OBS. Was instantly detected. Reasonably priced. I used this to record output from other computers.

I fried my original Genki Shadowcast (and was never a big fan of their software anyway), but was looking for another solution for playing Switch games in docked mode on my PC. This thing has even less input delay than an original Shadowcast, and will definitely lead to me getting a lot more life out of my Switch since it'll be pretty permanently hooked up to my main PC. One drawback is that it's a bit janky to get working for someone who's never messed around with OBS. There are some instructions on the Amazon listing if you scroll down a bit - make sure you save those and follow them when you get the device in the mail. Once you do, you can keep one scene in OBS reserved for this device and then you'll be all set. From there, you just open up a Projector window and it's working right away. You'll also definitely notice some very occasional stutter, not enough to make it unplayable by any means, but enough that you'll feel that it's not as responsive as hooking straight up to a TV. Seemed to get better over time as well. Video quality is also the slightest bit worse than the original Shadowcast but honestly it makes up for it with input delay. If you're looking to do Twitch streaming or anything like that, I might recommend something with true passthrough, but even then - at this price range, you could do a whole lot worse. Impressed.

Doesn't work with PS4 And it's 30 fps ( was written on the article tho that's on me , but I don't understand why the 60fps is written in big )

Amazing entry level capture card. I was able to do some streaming of my PS5 with this and im very happy. It supports both USB-A and USB-C ports so it should work amazingly on any computer.

Great product, convenient size and works well.

Useless if you want to record in stereo. The MacroSilicon chipset (ID 2109:534d) is known for a bug that transmits a stereo 48 kHz audiostream marked as a mono 96 kHz, causing confusion with recording software like OBS and Apple's Quicktime. Do you want to record in Mono, then this device is neat. Otherwise: Buyer beware!
