If you have an internal camera then try lowering your resolution if you don't care about quality.
This will most probably solve your issue. If you have an external camera, consider buying a USB 3.0 hub WITH A DEDICATED POWER SUPPLY (not just USB). Lowering the resolution (which will also lower power consumption) will be a workaround to get things working but in my case I needed quality as well. This plugin is not for laptops, or like my case a Mini-ITX motherboard. If this plugin makes your camera crash, disables it entirely or you are having trouble, there is a very high chance the motherboard cannot draw enough power from the device. The 4K60S+ has a dedicated power supply that caused my motherboard to have some extra juice and now everything is running fine. I solved this issue by using 1 elgato cam link and 1 elgato 4K60S+. For some reason the plugin made the source itself crash everytime I pressed a windows button (once the virtual cams were running) or whenever I pressed start everything would crash or go black.
In my use case I had 2 elgato cam links linked up with a dual streaming PC setup. For others that are looking at using this plugin, when you use this plugin it will draw extra power from whatever source you are using.
