My computer hardware configuration is as follows: an Intel Core i5 9600K processor, 32 GB of 3000 MHz RAM, a Red Devil 5700XT graphics card, and 1.25 TB of solid-state drive storage. I’m wondering if it would be feasible to send video from a USB capture device connected to my laptop, which is running a Lenovo Flex 5, to another screen. My laptop specs are an Intel Core i7 8550U processor, 16 GB of RAM, 1.5 TB of storage (both SSD and HDD), and an Nvidia MX130 graphics card. I’m hoping to reduce the load on my primary gaming PC and utilize this laptop for streaming purposes. My internet connection provides approximately 450-480 Mbps download speed and 25-30 Mbps upload speed. Could my laptop successfully handle this type of operation? I’m relatively new to streaming and would appreciate some guidance.

Recording is absolutely possible during live broadcasting, however, it’s important to ensure your recording quality surpasses the resolution of your stream.

The laptop’s central processing unit is somewhat weak, however, provided it's solely handling video conversion and not other tasks, it should perform adequately.

Yeah, I believe thats all it would be doing. I won't be gaming on it or anything. Would I be able to record from that as well?
Again, sorry for the green-ness here. Newbie.

It's possible to capture video while broadcasting live, indeed. However, be certain that your recording is set to a superior resolution compared to the stream’s quality.
