Easy to use very good buy

TL;DR: Great product for 1080p content, slightly above average software with problems easily fixed with using 3rd party programs instead.This is pretty much the description of "plug n play" as it's compatible with pretty much every device that supports HDMI output and given you have a PC or Mac with a USB A 3.0 port, or for newer Macs a hub/dongle with USB A 3.0. And as long as you have software that can detect the devices signal of course. It can record 4k at 30fps in certain situations, not every device can record that and not every software can detect that signal, but it *can* do it.The 1080p recording option that this device is aimed at records at a great quality for entry-intermediate level YouTubers and content creators (As established creators have most likely upgraded to 4k capable devices). With its ease of use all you need is either the Elgato 4k software or another program like OBS that can detect a capture card and a computer that has a USB 3.0 port. To record at higher frame rates like 60fps or to record at the 4k 30fps option (mainly for the 4k) you will need a computer that can handle the processing of a video resolution that high. Otherwise any decent computer or laptop can handle recording the lower resolutions.This capture card can also be used to stream of course but at that end it's more reliant on your computers processing power and internet speed/bandwidth put together.Now my biggest gripe with the product isn't directly related to the product itself but the software that Elgato provides for this product. I've had it crash or glitch out on me far more than something like OBS which has been zero times, and meanwhile the image quality is quite nice when using proper settings with a computer that can handle it, there's a chance that audio and video will get out of sync with the elgato software something I don't have to deal with other software. Easily fixed with a video editing program but not everyone edits their videos. The audio desync doesn't happen with streams thankfully unlike its older version the HD60s on longer streams.

MBP with M1 + apple dongle (hdmi/usb-usbc) + Elgato HD60 S+ + OBS studio = works no problemI hoped elgato would fix their issue where this capture card seems to not work on mac when you only have usb-c/thunderbolt- regardless of cable, dock, or dongle. They have not fixed the issue and none of the work arounds have worked for me so far. However, I finally realized that that issue is specific to their SOFTWARE, not the capture card. It gives you an error that you can only use USB 3 with the card and that you don't have such a port regardless of reality.However, the capture card works seamlessly with OBS studio (free software). So if you are having issues, try switching programs and save some headaches. OBS had no issues with this capture card capturing video and sound from a nintendo switch to a mbp through apple's dongle despite the elgato game capture software never working (usually 3.0 issue, sometimes waiting issue). I've used it only to record not stream so I cannot speak to that, but it seems to do what it should as long as you don't use the elgato game capture software.It also captured the audio fine without needing blackhole audio or an audio specific cable. I did have to open and close OBS studio to get the audio to work after adding the audio device.
