iPad OS 17 added support for external webcams and capture cards, such as the AverMedia Gamer Live 2 Portable. I would love to be able to stream my games from my iPad just like I do my PC.

Not everyone streams to the web nor does everyone have a PC in their living room to enable their friends watching a single player console game. An M2 iPad Pro can easily solve this.

I can double this request. Streaming via iPad enables a more portable setup and allows to save up the CPU for the main computer.
Discord team please consider supporting the external USB camera on iPadOS, thank you!
Official announcement from Apple that connecting to USB camera is possible on an iPad: https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2023/10106/

Adding on - Elgato has released Capture for iPad OS and directly supports the hardware (HD 60X and 4K X). C’mon, Discord, make this one edge case worth it!

What good fortune! Elgato is now actively marketing a card that they explicitly call out as being “designed for iPad”. The market case is growing for this!
