My guess would be, a 4K Webcam.

Viewing 4K on your PC from a selfie video or someone elses 4K webcam may or may not be a different story, depending on the age of your PC & your video card. Not all video cards can show 4K graphics.
But streaming to someone else shouldn’t matter I don’t think, as it would rely on what it is their PC is capable of.

Research your 4K webcams and see what their requirements are
Your OP is an over-simplistic lack of understanding, as requirements will vary between whatever 2 devices - there is no magic one line spec formula to answer your question

I can’t be certain, but a cam app should push out whatever the cam captures and the availability to view it as 4K if the app is set to stream 4K, would depend on the target PC. I’m interested to know if that can be interrupted by the hardware (not the cam) that the app is streaming from?
It’s an interesting question. I’’ll be checking in to learn.

Even a low level CPU can stream 4K video provided it can handle the stream's bit rate.
Far better of course if the PC has a separate GPU where the video functions are handled mainly away from the CPU which just then acts as a data stream server to the target device for the video cam.
