I'm considering getting an HDMI to USB 3.1 adapter to connect my Nikon D3300 to so I can stream with it. I have an Elgato capture card coming in that I can use, but I'd like to use it on my Nintendo Switch. I'm not buying a second capture card to use my camera and my Switch, so I was considering using the HDMI output on the camera and connect it to my PC using an HDMI to USB 3.1 adapter, but I'm not sure if that would work. Would I be able to do that? This is the adapter that I'm considering: AmazonBasics USB 3.1 Type-C to HDMI Adapter - Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MCT9P71/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_epwVAb3KJ03WT
