Can the stream deck actually be used as a capture card or do you have to buy the capture card separately? null

Question

This cannot be used as a capture card. And there are no inputs for it to take any type of video into it, just USB. What this s used for is for doing things easier in your streaming software, such as switching from one camera to another. This way it is just a button press and it is easier to do that without looking than it is to get your mouse and select the other camera. It does have a scripting system in it as well and can also tie into multiple streaming software. I can even launch websites for you or play a sound. But it will not work like a capture card.

The stream deck is not a capture card. You'll need a capture card separately, however Stream Deck can control certain features of Elgato Capture Card software

It cannot be used as a capture card. It has a simple USB out. It is only meant to activate or deactivate apps, open up programs and initiate other aspects within it's scope

Hello,

Stream Deck is not a capture card whatsoever nor does it have any storage. You'd have to buy one of our capture cards separately.
