The following article is for a product that is now considered Legacy (EOL) status. Because of this, the information below may not match what is possible with current Elgato hardware and software. |
Cam Link can directly send video to various applications, including but not limited to:
Elgato Game Capture HD
Elgato 4K Capture Utility
OBS Studio
Streamlabs Desktop
Skype
QuickTime
Cam Link uses the UVC protocol (USB Video Device Class):

Products that use the UVC protocol should work in any application that support webcams.
In recent versions of macOS, Elgato Cam Link will need to be given Permission to use your Mac's Camera and Microphone. You can do that via the System Preferences.
Elgato has not tested Cam Link with every possible application, but should work in applications where UVC is supported.
