How to Record a Computer Screen to an Elgato HD60S Capture Card

The Elgato HD60S is an external capture card that can be used to record or stream console gameplay via a PC. While many capture cards fit into the PCI-E slot of your PC, the HD60S is external, meaning you can use your laptop. In this guide, we'll explain how to use an Elgato HD60S with your laptop.

We’ll go through each step so you can be sure you’re doing it right. Most of the time, all you need to do is have the right software on your PC and connect everything correctly. If you’re using a PS4, there’s one step you need to follow before the HD60S will work. We’ll break it all down below.

Firstly, if you are using a PS4, you will first need to disable HDCP within the settings menu. To do this, power on your PS4 and then navigate to the settings menu. Navigate to the bottom of the settings menu and select ‘System’. From there, uncheck the option ‘Enable HDCP’. Restart your PS4.
