When using a capture card, where is my game displayed?

When using a capture card, where is my game displayed? - Crop anonymous female taking photo of various tasty dishes on smartphone sitting at table in modern cafe

I never used a capture card so my knowledge has gaps so far.

Assuming I plug my console's HDMI cable, which is usually connected to my TV I play on, into the capture card and then plug the capture card into my PC, where will I see the HDMI output?

Will it appear on my PC like a new software/window, which can be opened and played on? Will it replace my usual operating system and I only see the game - as if I plugged in the HDMI into the PC screen?
