Cool, thanks for the help. To clarify what your saying is, I can't use two of the same capture cards. Correct?

You can. I’m saying the elgato software prolly won’t. But if you are using obs, it will work fine. Assuming they both work in the pc you’re using. 

Hello,

 

Thinking of getting an Elgato capture card, my question is has anyone ever used two of them to capture two different game plays? Thinking of contacting Elgato themselves but figured I would see if anyone here has done this. I assume this would work as a saw someone capturing webcam feed and his game play. Thanks for the help and tips all!

Yea it would work. Just select it in the program. Assuming you’re using obs or something. The elgato software won’t let you do two like that last I tried. 
But obs, just add another decide and add it to the layout.
