How can I connect my camera to AC power when using my a7iv as a webcam for streaming on Zoom meetings since the USB-C port of the camera is common for connecting to the laptop as well as to the wall socket? Can I use a usb c male x 2 female splitter and connect to the laptop as well as wall socket? I prefer not to enable usb charging via the laptop while streaming as the camera tends to overheat.
