Hello all. I have a question. Can I transfer a game from my Samsung S8+ device to my PC with this Elgato Capture Card? If so what additional cables will I need? Would my normal charging cable and an HDMI cable be enough? Thanks for the answer.

Question

Answer

Yes, you can do that. You can use it to transfer the image from your smartphone to your PC. 
If you want to charge the Samsung at the same time, you need the adapter:

Answer

The main problem is that your Samsung provides HDCP output. However, Elgate does not allow HDCP, otherwise you could record films with it. But there is a way:

- Basically, you need a USB-C to HDMI adapter.

- You then connect this to an HDMI splitter, which converts the signal.

- From the splitter via HDMI to your Elgato.

I don't guarantee it will work this way, but it shouldn't be a problem :)
