the video capture device properties window for how you added it to obs take a screenshot of it and post it here Can't help if we can't see how you have things set up You can hit Win+Shift+S to pull up the snipping tool to screenshot

yes I see you have a few different capture cards added to the scene, and the preview is blank usually that means something else is using up the connecting to the capture card, lcoking out the current device

if you're not using them, they need deleted from your scenes - they can be interfering

there's still a second one there Close OBS. Hit start, open the windows "Camera" app Use this button to change the camera until it loads the elgato and see if it works there You have extra unused capture card sources in your OBS scenes and it's likely hooking and blocking the elgato from working in the device source you're trying to use it in

You could try going in to the video capture device properties and for device format/resolution, change from "device default" to 1920x1080

Not sure then, I'd reach out to Elgato support make sure you reboot but otherwise ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Can you double check that the HDMI from the switch is going to the HDMI input of the capture and not the HDMI output port of the capture card
