I'm wondering what HDMI to USB interface OBS users employ for live streaming video?

If you mean pulling video from an HDMI source like a DSLR, camcorder, or game console, you need a capture card. Something like the Elgato HD60S, 4K60 Mk.2, or even a Magewell unit. These generally cost a few hundred dollars.
The cheap $15 'USB to HDMI' adapters will not work; HDMI is not bidirectional, and they are set up to be a video-over-USB device to attach an extra monitor output, not a video feed input.

This was recommended: AJA U-Tap HDMI: ****************3d6Dr7D (between $350 to $450)
And found this, which appears to be similar function (less expensive at $129) : https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FXHN43Y/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Wondering if anyone has experience with the 2nd option?

I wouldn't go with the AJA; for that price you can get a Magewell which are the gold-standard capture devices at the moment.
The other one is a no-name. It could work, and is USB 3.0. I'd probably still go with an Elgato HD60S though.
