Hello, this is my very first How To! Some extra things to consider. 1. Restarting your laptop of computer after connecting the El Gato capture card helps the computer read the new USB device much easier. 2. Tik Tok studio is criminally slow (it's not you!) 3. Connecting the capture card directly into your laptop instead of a USB hub is suggested. 4. Audio lags from time to time if you keep your capture card connected for weeks at a time. If your audio is lagging but you're still seeing your picture captured in the Tik Tok studio, I would first suggest re-formatting the audio input instead of starting over from scratch. 5. I prefer to use Live AverMedia Capture card devices; it's much more beginner friendly. Pretty much works out of the box. This video was capture with Live AverMedia capture card, Avedio links HDMI spitter, 2 HP laptops with Windows installed, and 4 HDMI cables. What You will Need: - 2 HDMI Cables - A Capture Card - A Gaming Console - Headphones - Microphone
