Yeah, you can use it for more than games. It can capture just about anything you want on your PC.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Games photo and recording captures
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I don't think that is possible because of the hdcp would not allow it but I may be worth the try.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.you can. its mainly used for the gaming environment but it can also be used for screen capturing for other things.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It will take in any HDMI output. That is the only input it takes though unfortunately.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I think they mean multi platform. Any content that your system will send over HDMI to TV can be recorded. As long as not HDCP protected. Game play is not, but Netflix, for example, is. So you can't copy movies and such.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.While I would certainly go through their website for 100% accuracy, I'm going to do my best to respond here from memory when I looked into this. With ElGato's software, you can livestream directly more than just games, if you're using a camera in conjunction with it: ie: say hosting a small live show with you and your friends to one of the streaming services they support (twitch is for sure). Now, if you're asking if it can be used to record movies, the answer is less definite- If you're using a PS4, you must turn off a copy-protection service in the PS4's settings in order for it to record. When this copy-protection is turned off, according to ElGato "Some media may not work" (I'm reading this to mean movies). And, while the ElGato does a fairly great job at compression, if you're looking to record movies, my guess is, even IF it worked, the file size would be far more monstrous than you'd care to have without further compressing it with an editing program- the included one might do the job, but THINK you'd be better off using something like Sony. Hopefully, someone with more experience with it can be more helpful, as I just recently purchased it and have only begun playing with it- I'm trying to work off memory here when I was reading things on their site. The "multi" you see attached to it, is, I believe referencing the fact that it works on multiple systems: PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and believe Wii and even PS2.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
