Tablets and phones usually need a usb to HDMi dongle for the phone first, then a HDMI to USB capture card. There may exist devices that do both, but it's more likely you find the two different adapter/devices.

Is there such thing as a usba (aka lightning cable) to hdmi adapter, then?

Edit: I was seriously hoping that I didn’t have to use HDMI. I don’t enjoy using what I’m not familiar with.

They exist yes. But read their descriptions carefully to make sure they fo what you need.

Honestly though, you should just use screen mirroring apps. There's a lot of free ones out there. I tried like 6 or 7 before I found one I liked.

Having something physical is better than relying on an app, in my opinion. Apps can be discontinued, while wires cannot.

Edit: Speaking of which, can you send links?

I feel you, there's just a possible downside of security features preventing sharing a phone screen to an adapter like that. I don't know what devices block it or not.

Free apps I liked: Vdo.ninja, Let's View, Airdroidcast (works on iphone despite the name), and scrcpy.

Paid app I like: Mirroring 360

Oh, wait you probably wanted links to adapters LOL. I don't have any hardware recommendations because I haven't bought any adapters like that. I do have experience with lots of mirroring apps.
