Do you have all the proper drivers installed for the device? Have you tested that it works in their software first? If the device is not showing up, then there is likely no driver available for OBS to see.

If you see the video in the OBS preview window, but not your recording, the issue is likely the video player you're trying to use. Try downloading VLC and using that to play back the recorded files.

Well, you can't game capture a web browser. You need to use window or display capture for that.

If you're trying to add a capture card, you need to add it with Video Capture Device source type.
