I just want to record my files iso while using my cameras on a meeting.
That won't work as the USB Type-C connection used for SSD recording has the Atem Mini Pro ISO as 'Master' and the USB-connected SSD as 'Slave'.
However when the Atem is connected to a PC/Mac as a UVC Webcam source then the Atem is the 'Slave' and the PC/Mac is the 'Master'.
The Atem has to switch the USB-C connection modes based on whether what it's connected to is detected as a USB 'Master' or 'Slave'. This is how one Type-C connector can behave in the way both a Type-A (Master) and a Type-B (Slave) connectors were used previously.
A USB Hub won't help in this regard as the single USB connection on the Atem Mini Pro ISO can only be Master or Slave but not both at the same time.
That's why the Extreme ISO has 2 independent USB Type-C connections - one can act as Master for SSDs, the other can act as Slave for connection to a PC/Mac as a Webcam.
You'll probably need to investigate software that lets you turn the Ethernet streamed RTMP data into a form that you can use instead of the UVC Webcam USB connection. (Capturing PGM via the single HDMI output and an HDMI to UVC capture dongle would work, but leave you without a way of watching the multiviewer)
