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.

if so, what app to view?

The computer does not recognize the camera as a USB webcam, which would allow any application/process access the camera. Instead, the Sony Webcam app can send the stream to a few select applications (Zoom, Teams, Skype). Because of this FaceTime, Photo Booth, any in-browser meetings (Google Meet, Teams on web, etc.) do not work.

I have a $55 Agptek HDMI recorder. No computer needed. It accepts HDMI inputs.
https://www.amazon.com/1080P-Capt...08SC8QFV
This device can be put inline between any HDMI output and viewing monitor/TV to record stuff.
Connect some USB2 storage (formatted w/ NTFS or FAT32) and press the "Record" button. Anything that comes through the HDMI gets recorded to 1080p@30 and stereo audio. It can record gameplay for many hours. The limitation is the USB storage. I use a 250G WD-Blue HDD and that works fine. Initially, I used USB3 flash media, but recording hours of gameplay daily is very hard on flash storage. Burned through a few 64G USB3 flash drives every year.
If the video input is 720p, less storage gets used.
The video is recorded to h.264/aac/mp4 containers. Audio is only stereo. Video is huge - the h.264 is configured for realtime recording. Use something like handbrake to transcode down to more efficient video, easily saving 60-75% of the file size. Generally, a 10G video will be about 1G-1.5G after transcoding. Handbrake is F/LOSS (100% free) and runs well on every desktop OS. It is really great on Linux.
There is an audio input which is supposed to be muxed into the output file - so you can talk smack while gaming. I've never used it.
When recording your computer games, do you really want the game-play impacted by the recording software? Nope. Get a standalone recording device instead.
