How to record live web cam video directly into Premiere Pro (CC on Windows 10)

I need to record a short video of myself.  I could put a camera on a tripod, shoot the video, then read the file into my PC and then PP.  I also have a 4K web cam, though, and it would be easier to just shoot the video with that (the quality doesn't have to be great).  Easier still to shoot it right into PP.  Is there a way to do that?  Haven't been able to find any instructions online.  Thanks for any tips.

    I'm sorry but Premiere does not allow you to record directly into the software. You would need to used another software for that. You might want to consider using Camtasia.

      Another good, free option to record a webcam on both Windows and Mac OS is OBS:

        @spaceart1 It is not possible to record a webcam video in Premiere Pro. Recording audio is possible.

          I use an iMac and a Logitech BRIO 4k Pro Webcam, Yeti mic. Maybe I'm not searching for the right key phrases, but I'm having trouble finding the information on how to do this. Is it not possible with Premiere Pro?  If not, what software should I be using?  Thanks
