USB-C vs USB-A connection for external video streaming/webcam usage?

[evo]

I have a Sony A7M3 camera and a 16" MacBook Pro.

When I set the USB Connection for my Sony camera to PC Remote, I can remotely use my Sony camera as a webcam/video source on my MacBook Pro. I have this working using two different methods:

• USB-C (Sony) to USB-A (HyperDrive USB-C Hub, connected to the MBP)
• Apple USB-C to USB-C (connecting the Sony directly to the MBP)

The HyperDrive documentation says the USB-A port has a transfer speed of 5Gpbs, and it's my understanding a direct USB-C connection is 10Gpbs.

I am not concerned about using this particular connection for transferring pictures/video files from the memory card in the camera.

My question has to do with using the Sony camera as a webcam/video source. I plan on using CamTwist for Zoom video calls and YouTube streaming. Is the USB-C from the Sony connected to the USB-A on the hub sufficient enough for a good webcam/video source for streaming video?

Or will I really see a difference by using a USB-C to USB-C direct connection?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Apparently you already have all components ready at your disposal.

Why don't YOU try both ways and tell US about any differences?!
