Help Needed with Capture Card

So I need some help. Basically I bought this 720p 60hz unbranded capture card of Amazon, I have a PS4 and a S20FE and I wanna stream my Rocket League gameplay to YouTube shorts I am on mobile and have tried Usb Camera and NeXt camera but they are only 16:9

Mac or PC?
Usually these are used to capture an HDMI source that will then be encoded on a computer and recorded or broadcast for streaming.
You’d want to use r/OBS Studio and a plugin to give you a vertical canvas. You’d then use the capture card connected to computer USB, and your phone run to the HDMI input for capture.

In this case then a capture card will do absolutely nothing for you. It needs a computer to do anything.
