Review: 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.
Review: Works great! - Works great! I've used it to stream my Switch to my computer. I haven't noticed any issues with lag or audio quality. The video capture works perfectly. Just plug and play.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I want to use this to stream my xbox and switch games. if i have an xbox headset, do i need a separate microphone or can i use the xbox headset?**
A: Please note you can't connect the headset to the controller or game console since it will cut the audio off before it transmits to your streaming software. You can only connect the headset to your computer for streaming.

**Q: How is the color on the avermedia live gamer ultra?**
A: Here's a video that alternates between screen tests with the AverMedia GC553 and a $20 capture device called IPXOZO. It was recorded at 2160p and 10bit color depth with xSplit Broadcaster, although I don't know if it will recompress when updated. The 10bit color comes through beautifully on the GC553.

**Q: Do you need the software to record in PC Free mode?**
A: No. All you need for that feature is a Class 10 Micro SD card. Here is a link to their website about it:

https://www.avermedia.com/gaming/product/game_capture/live_gamer_portable_2

**Q: Can I use this to go live with a dslr**
A: Yes, you can. But I no longer recommend this product. After recording more than the MicroSD card can hold, the LGP2 has bricked my 64GB and 128GB Micro SD cards. I've tried fixing them thru Mac and Windows to no avail. So if you use this for recording any paid for projects, be aware of this issue.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worked well for a year
*by A***Y on March 22, 2023*

The Avermedia Gamer Mini is a great capture card for someone like me who just wants to screen-share with a Nintendo Switch. I wanted to stream to let my long-distance friend watch via Discord screen share. Works GREAT for that with OBS Studio. The good: Not much lag - a fraction of a second at most. The picture quality is fantastic. I actually noticed the colors and frame rate were better even on my TV when it was connected to the capture card. I was in love with it. It didn't interrupt game play at all, motion was smooth, everything was going well. UNTIL... The bad: It got unplugged by accident and everything went downhill. The MicroUSB cord from the capture card to the computer came loose, which didn't SEEM like it should've been a big deal. But it turned off the capture card mid-gameplay and apparently that was a huge issue. After that, my computer wouldn't recognize the device at all. After HOURS of researching, troubleshooting, and downloading Avermedia's management software (which wouldn't recognize the device either), it RANDOMLY started working again. But then it started only working for an hour or so before cutting out and stopping my stream. And now it won't work at all. It just gives me a blue flashing light (which is supposed to mean it's downloadibg firmware or something, but I get no notification on my computer and it never finishes the process, apparently) and no preview on OBS Studio. So, it's no longer functional. Which coincidentally happened one month after the 12-month warranty expired. My friend has one who hasn't had any of these issues. So apparently they're hit or miss. Bottom line: If you need it for basic functions, it's great. It's not the most advanced thing on the market, but it works. For about the length of the warranty.
