Able to play and stream on PC

Small, cute little thing that’s more affordable than the Elgato. I am able to play Animal Crossing and Overcooked from my Switch perfectly fine. I am able to use this with OBS and WinCapture Audio as well. Very satisfied with this purchase. I recommend trying this before trying Elgato. I have used this nearly every day for the past two months for both streaming and for funsies.

Great, easy to use tool to get you started in live streaming!

As the go-to IT person in my Church congregation, I was asked to set up a live stream during the 2020 pandemic shutdown. I purchased a Canon Vixia HF R800 video camera and hoped to pair it with an Elgato Camlink. However, the Camlink was impossible to find anywhere, so I settled for Live Gamer Mini. In conducting my research prior to purchase, the reviews I read on the device varied. However, my experience with this device was great. To get my stream onto the internet, I am using a Windows 10 laptop running OBS. I connected my camera to the Live Gamer Mini and the Mini to my computer. It worked flawlessly the first time. Windows recognized the device. It was not necessary to download and install any drivers. While I do not know how this device compares to others, it works great for our intended purposes. I would highly recommend this to someone who is getting started in live streaming and is looking to save some money over similar Elgato devices.

Excellent product for the price, easy setup

This item works exactly as promised, with incredibly easy setup and hassle-free functionality. This is for the 1080P version, and using it to capture video from a console source via HDMI for use in OBS. Picture is crisp and I didn't notice any artifacts or lag.

Great product for a afordable price!

I was skeptical of this product. Am amazed how well it can stream at the rate it streams at!
I have been telling people of this brand, and how i enjoy it.
I mainly use this for my Nintendo switch.

Works with switch

It worked well with the Switch, and I used another adapter to stream my N64 as well. Getting it to work with OBS was a chore because you have to do something weird with the audio that it lines out in its manual but who reads those? Who reads these?
