Just buy some generic crap at Amazon like this one I own: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08JBZVQCV
1080p60 is fine for 99% of folks there in streamland. Plug-n-play, Mac, PC and Android phones.
They all have it now.

People also do full screen makeup streams, lectures, musical performance, etc and may want better capture and recording for archive purposes. Also some cameras internal video recording is only 4:2:0 and the elgato can do 4:2:2 uncompressed at 1080 allowing your PC to encode at higher quality than in-camera for recorded videos.

Elgato 4k vs generic $20
but people who do NOT need this :
a. those who have the SRL cameras(posted by someone above), which have the software and work as a webcam without this device
b. ppl who want to use some other camera device as a webcam during online meetings, you can just get those $10-20 USB 1080P adapter at amazon, because all video conferences(zoom, bluejeans etc) only can go up to 1080p max, no point to use 4K
people who may need this:
has a camera that does not have native support as a webcam,
want to record video in 4K not for web conferences

I use a capture card instead, and the difference is night and day. I also like the elgatos compared to the cheap Chinese stuff because the colors tend to be more accurate and it will have a lower chance of stuttering, especially at 4k. If you're using a laptop instead of a direct recording device for semi/professional/enthusiast level video capture then you probably want something you can rely on like an Elgato product.
Win+G also records system sounds —- like Netflix etc...

What's the the likely source of 4k video that people want to record? I assume video conference only need 1080p so no need to record in 4k device.
May be external 4k Bluray video that connect using hdmi to computer? what else?
Another question is if willing to spend at most $300, what's the best capturing device right now?
