Anyone use video input capture devices?

[ComputerRepairTech]

I was playing with an elgato HD60S the other day and I got to thinking about the various uses something like this might have for computer repair, I don't do much offline computer repair and I don't even know if you can have multiple of these devices connected to the same machine but I ended up using it to keep track of some offline memtest I was running and the ability to record these tests can be convenient as well. I was wondering if any techs out there did something similar instead of multiple monitors?

Edit: I mainly got the elgato hd60s because I hardly ever get around to playing my video game consoles since i'm always at the computer and I am more likely to actual play a video game if I can put it on a window on my main monitor rather than another screen near it.

I have a HS60S as so I can have my PS4 and Switch on my main monitor.

The device could also be very helpful for technicians interested in creating tutorials or other video content. I have two monitors, but I can see uses for a KVM (which I don't have currently).

lol i use it for my switch too, people thought i was weird for wanting a portable device on my main monitor xD

Good god. Wouldn't want to play on such a small screen. Not when I prefer my pro controller anyway.

Damn. Now I want to play Octopath again. Soooo good. But need to put in about 20 hours of programming before I can play games.

I didn't know what it was so I looked it up.
