KitGuru says:  The Live Streamer Cap 4K is a very simple device to setup and use. As such, it will suit beginners quite well. The video quality is very good and the device is tiny enough to hide away under a desk or behind a monitor. However, the Cam Engine software is quite poor and certain features are not available unless you sign up for an account with AVerMedia. Overall, it's a great device let down by sub par software.
