The Sony ZV-1 As a Webcam - It Can Record and Send Video Signal to USB Card for Zoom, Teams, WebEx!
I had a viewer ask in the comments if the Sony ZV-1 can both record to its SD card as well as send a video output via it's HDMI output to my cheap USB video card.
Yes it can.
One thing to note, I had Zoom's beauty mode engaged and that likely processed the video it created a bit.
Overall, I think this USB card is a great cheap way to get video from your Sony ZV-1 to a Zoom meeting or other times when you need it to be a webcam. Basically, it just turns the HDMI signal into a feed that your computer thinks is a webcam. Magic.
