      Is this possible? I use an Elgato HD and would like to record gameplay on RP. :)

          Hi Herb, that's great. Sorry to be so dumb, but could you tell me how to set it up or how you got it working? As I cannot seem to and cannot find a solution anywhere online. Thanks! :)

            @clarkey-ccfc I use OBS instead of the rubbish software it comes with. Simplifies it a bit. Of course you need two HDMI cables and the USB cable plugged into your PC with a video capture source picked on obs, it will show no signal on the TV til you do a video preview on obs if I remember correctly, it's been a while since I've used it though, there's probably a few guides online that explain it better than me
