If all you have is an HDMI input and your computer or device is USB A, this might be for you. It’s an old device. There are now better options with USB-C inputs at half the price.

When connected to a Gopro with an HDMI cable, and to a MacBook pro, for zoom/teams meeting, this setup would keep restarting the camera connection at the USB port, resulting in constant disconnects of my video during conference calls.
This may be due to the Go Pro, feel free to contact us so we can determine all your settings are as they should and that model has no issues with the Cam Link 4K: help.elgato.com

Pretty easy to set up with the free software from the elegato website but didn't work well with my camera at all (canon sl3) couldn't shoot anything higher than 1080p 30fps and even then my PC would freeze up if I tried to use the camera, it was troublesome and tiresome and I would not recommend this product
If you still have the Cam Link 4K and need assistance, do reach out directly on our site as our team would be able to confirm your camera is fully compatible and help with making it work if so.

It does a good job, but there are other options that I was able to find in the same price range that have more options. It does exactly what you need it to do, but I enjoy having more functionality.
Which options are those with all the same capabilities? Please contact us, we'd love to take a look and clarify if there are any differnces: help.elgato.com

Stopped working and overpriced

Stopped working on my PC. Tried troubleshooting and still can’t figure it out. Overpriced.
Sorry to hear that the Cam Link 4K stopped working, did it stop being recognized? Or is it just no longer recording in software? Could you reach out to our support team so we can assist you directly: support.elgato.com

Disappointed

Works when it wants to, this device is great when it works but it often loses connection. I ended up getting a second HDR10 Elgato. More money but it doesn’t give me a headache like the cam link.
Definitely not the experience we'd want you to have, and our team can help. Please contact them directly right on our site at any time for assistance.

Up your Video

If you are serious about streaming, this is a must have piece of equipment. For those looking to increase the quality of there teleconference meetings, this is for you as well. Webcam technology has been quite stagnant over the past couple years, which is perplexing because phone cameras have taken such an extreme increase in quality/
The cam link allows you to connect your DSLR or digital camera to your computer to work as your webcam. I would check with your camera to ensure compatibility with the cam link.
Installation and setup was a breeze, requiring no driver download and just working. The cam link comes up with no problem; whether it was streaming or conference software.
Elevating your stream quality from mediocre webcam to stunning in 5 minutes is worth it. I paired this with a Sony a5100 and couldn't be happier with results.
Sorry to hear that the Cam Link didn't work with the GoPro. If you're willing to give it another try, please contact our support team and we'd be happy to help you with your setup: support.elgato.com

Ok, I really wanted to like this. I was told that is what I needed to make the video come through better, but setting this up and getting it going was a pain and is still a pain. extra cords, not allowing the video to go through.
