I bought one of these so I could use my Amazon Firestick to watch TV on my laptop. I used the free OBS Studio software, and after struggling with learning how to set that up the first time, I’m now in business! It works great, other than the firestick can’t control the volume on the laptop.
I’m not working with a large 4K monitor, so I can’t speak to how great the graphics on this capture card really are. But I can say that it seems to work well, and I haven’t had any problems with it so far.
I plug the HDMI into one side of my laptop, and the Firestick USB cable into the other side. Both devices sit behind my laptop, and you’ll want a beanbag type laptop desk for the laptop to sit on so it doesn’t overheat.
