How To Use The Interview Mode in Ecamm Live

[@thebodylanguageguy]

Whoa! just getting started with eCamm interviews and all this is SO POWERFUL! thank you!

[@AdrianSalisbury]

Great to hear! Ecamm is such a powerful tool, glad you found it. If you want more training we have an Ecamm Academy in the description and we run a live event twice a year 👍 Reach out any time!

[@jamesnielsen347]

I'm SOLD!!! Looks like a perfect fit for my ZOOM Men's Bible Study - Thank you, Adrian!

[@TheICUChannel]

Thanks for this video... preparing for my first interview. thanks a lot.

[@AndyBrownKajabiExpert]

Awesome sauce, Adrian 🙌 I haven't used Ecamm Live for ages, but I'm back in the saddle and needed this today. Thank you, sir!

[@noahkadner7756]

Awesome tips, and I love this feature in Ecamm. Going to try a show this way next week. Thanks, Adrian!

[@SHAKA-NEU-LU]

I can really appreciate you guys and what you’re doing with Ecamm Live. Being a Mac user we know how hard it can be to stream. I like using Zoom for my lives and Ecamm / Zoom seem to be what I’ll be using. I just have to get Ecamm dialed in

[@AdrianSalisbury]

It's like anything, the more you use it, the easier it will get :)

[@DrBrianKeating]

🎉

[@AdrianSalisbury]

glad you enjoyed it. Watch out for a new video coming very soon! If you're subscribed, we'll notify you 👍

[@TexasJackdaw]

Wonderful stuff. Please share more about the “Musician Mode” - Thanks for sharing your knowledge 🙏

[@DanRuden]

Exactly what I needed. Thank you!

[@AnthonyShermanmke]

For recording audio, once ended, will the audio recording include both you and guest on one track if you do not check Record Isolated Audio Tracks? I did not see an audio track at the end of your tutorial that included the entire audio recording as a whole.

[@Tabaghe16]

Great stuff. How does the quality of the guest? It is it being compressed? Would it be possible to get a local recording of the guest as well like the way Riverside does in order to provide a high quality video without the live streaming compression effect the final output?

[@AdrianSalisbury]

That would be nice but as they're just logging into a webpage it isn't a local app. Their quality will depend on their internet upload speed and their setup. It's a pretty decent feed though.

[@musicbruin]

Super Helpful, thank you

[@OpareDawuro]

i have an issue, my guest cant join my show anymore after i updated today. my guest are told to wait till host allow them in yet i have auto join feature set for my guest. i am not sure how to resolve this but i has already created serious embarrassment for me. i have a pro account. really need help to get this fixed please

[@soundliferecovery]

Such helpful videos, thank you! We're sharing a powerpoint with 3 people & recording to sell as an on demand training later. We want to include camera views + audio of the questions and role play exercises of the guests. It seems this interview mode might be a valuable approach to that. Does the interview function easily allow for animations as we share slides? We have some complex ideas best taught one small piece at a time so really don't feel like we can make those static.

[@Dr.Dawson]

It's too bad they missed a trick here, big one as well. The Active speaker window. Let's say you have 6 people on a show (I do a lot of the time) You layout six small windows and one large one that always switches to the active speaker. Only way to get this is through paying even more for Zoom. I get it all free with VDO ninj and OBS but Ecamm does look tempting to my Mac Studio's M Chip.

[@AdrianSalisbury]

You can do this with the new Zoom integration but yes it is going to require a zoom paid plan but it doesn't need to be yours, you just need to be in the meeting. That may help

[@StarskyUA]

That’s exactly the thing I would also like to see in the future updates - the active speaker, without having to use Zoom. Other than that Ecamm is absolutely the best 👍👍👍

[@Dr.Dawson]

@ hehehe. Hey hey. Just like on The Shills. The way we have it laid out. Ecamm vmix and so on have all missed this. It’s such a shame.

[@saintwolfvision]

What if the person doesn't use a camera? Any options besides a photo?

[@raveroompodcast]

can eecam have a scene which switches when people speak like zoom. Thanks :)

[@eightwheels]

Adrian, great video as usual … you mentioned you have a worksheet to give your interviewee in advance to help them be prepared -- I don't see a link to that. Is that available?

[@carolkarl7896]

I would like this too please.

[@AdrianSalisbury]

Sorry, we'll get it out as soon as possible

[@MattBrandon]

Me too!

[@MortgageClarified1]

Hour 6 on Crash Course Ecamm, this is awesome!! Is there a way for the interview guest to see the scene we are in, like if we have a pdf pop up they can see it and go over it with me?

[@GulagInmate1984]

Now that Zoom integrates with Ecaam, is it better to hold the interview the way you do it in this video - directly in ecam - or is it better to use the zoom integration? Can you do the interview without wearing headphones?

[@AdrianSalisbury]

Personally, if you're streaming out to somewhere other than Zoom I am still using the interview mode rather than Zoom as your guest can see a feed of the chat rather than sitting in Zoom on their own. You can do an interview without headphones if you use either Ecamm's Echo Cancellation or Zoom's version.

[@simonbernasconi6135]

Is there a way to isolate two guests audio for the separate scenes? For e.g - I want to remote produce so Ecamm will be on my computer. How do I bring in the podcast host and the guest and then isolate their audio for Host Scene and then Guest Scene?

[@stephenmccain]

How are you zooming in and out of areas on your desktop view?

[@AdrianSalisbury]

It's an accessibility feature in System Settings

[@IbaadahBasics]

I had a problem with the interview mode… I wasn’t able to bring the sound from the interviewee out of the speakers for those in attendance could hear… I have a simple setup with MacBook, caldigit docking station and a mixer connected by USB… maybe you can offer some advise please…. Thanks

[@AurelienSchibli]

Hey Adrian thanks for all your videos. My guest can't see my own screen share when I use scenes. Is this something that you've come across a lot? I am only recording (not going live). I am on the starter plan with time left on the interview feature. Any advice?

[@AdrianSalisbury]

There's a little icon next to their thumbnail on the interviewee's screen that switches from their screen to the live feed. I think that's what they're missing. Are they on Chrome? Sometime other browsers can be buggy.

[@AurelienSchibli]

@@AdrianSalisbury I've tried many times and all the little switch does is show me the different cameras. I just can't get my interviewee to see the different overlays and designs that I've made. As a host I can see it but my guest has no idea what I'm looking at. Any help would be appreciated.

[@AurelienSchibli]

@@AdrianSalisbury I found it. It's in: Preferences --> Interview --> Guest View: [Broadcast]. It's on [Host Camera] by default. Thanks for all your help!

[@AdrianSalisbury]

@@AurelienSchibli well done 👍

[@evolvingwithjessica]

When adjusting the hue on the guest, as well as zooming in - can this be done AFTER the interview/recording?

[@AdrianSalisbury]

No, it’s not an editing tool, just for the recording

[@geezersofgear]

I've been using Ecamm a while, and really like it. However, I have recently added a producer to my show. She takes care of booking, sponsors, and much more - and also sits in the green room during recordings. I'd like to be able to have her turn on her mic when I address her during a podcast... like Jamie on Joe Rogan "hey, Sarah, look up ______", or even control "stuff" during interviews. Is there a way to give he those options?

[@SuzyVerver]

Couldn’t you just set her up as another “Guest” and mute/ unmute her mic as you need without bringing her camera feed to the show

[@geezersofgear]

@@SuzyVerver yeah that’s what we’ve done. I guess I was hoping for cohost controls. None exist. Thanks tho.

[@al4video]

How many guest can you have on at one time?

[@The_Stylish_Maker]

Hi Adrian, I tried to use Ecamm to do a recorded interview today but the guest was really blurry. We ended up using Zoom which didn't give us all the great features of Ecamm. Have you ever had this happen or do you know how to fix it? Thank you.

[@AdrianSalisbury]

Did you ask them what their internet speed was like?

[@The_Stylish_Maker]

@@AdrianSalisbury Thank you for your reply. Yes, we both checked our speed and it was good. I have since read that this is quite a common problem with Ecamm.

[@chandasparklesastrology]

How do I send the recording after the fact? Like if my interview person wants it for their channel but doesn’t have Ecamm? How do I email it? It’s a large file will it just go will they be able to access it?

[@KawaiiLuckyGirl]

You should stream straight to a website like KZbin or Twitch, so it saves the recording after, then you can share the youtube link. ECamm is just responsible for handling multiple assets. Not recording. You can also option to save it internally to your hard drive, but then you’ll have to upload it to a CDN or some cloud server to share the link.

[@DrMarkWaller]

My guest can only see the two cameras. By click the arrows it just switches one camera to the center. When I'm recording they cannot see the presentation. If I go into preview more, then they can see, but i am not recording the actual live feed. HELP!

[@AdrianSalisbury]

Preview mode is where you're getting stuck I think. Definitely make sure that's off. Your guest has two options, to see you or the feed. If they are seeing both of you but not the feed I think you must be in Preview mode and you're looking at the preview, while he's looking at the actual feed. I hope that makes sense.

[@DrMarkWaller]

I have since experimented with my wife's iphone and my ipad. No problem seeing the presentation. So I'm thinking it is a browser problem on my guests computer.@@AdrianSalisbury

[@DimitriStuer]

When you use Ecamm for recording an interview, is it possible to have local recording, so better audio/video quality (like in Streamyard or Riverside) ?

[@AdrianSalisbury]

No, it's all recorded at your computer

[@DimitriStuer]

@@AdrianSalisbury No, I mean, the technique of audio/video download from the side of the interviewee, like Riverside is doing and recently Streamyard too.

[@terrenceholden]

I can't hear my guest when I'm in this mode. What could be the issue?

[@AdrianSalisbury]

Do you have the Sound Levels tab open? Can you see the meter moving for your guest? If not, it's their mic or you've muted them. If yes, you should be hearing them. What speakers are selected? There are several things this could be so this is some basic fault finding. If you're struggling I suggest you ask in the Ecamm community Facebook group, someone will help pretty quick :) facebook.com/groups/1975933215951370

[@OvalleInspiracion]

How do I make a live with guest stream to my KZbin?

[@AdrianSalisbury]

You'll find a video in this playlist showing you how to go live on KZbin 👍

[@elrocktagono]

How much time in advance i can send that link. If the interview is 24 or 48 hours after. Would the link work after that time. I mean i guess i have to have open ECAMM. But does it work that way?

[@AdrianSalisbury]

You can schedule several weeks in advance and it will create the link straight away :)

[@Binbuster]

Is this available on all tiers

[@AdrianSalisbury]

Interview mode is a Pro feature and well worth the upgrade

[@Matt-SarcasMo]

The only thing that's missing, and it's unfortunate, is that the guest can't click on the chat to select the questions they want to answer. Do you have a solution for that? I want to keep control of Ecamm as the producer, but give the host just the comments window and allow them to choose which questions to respond to

[@AdrianSalisbury]

I would love that feature too.

[@matthewbrown2705]

Is it possible to share my screen and slides with my guest so that we can all speak about the information?

[@AdrianSalisbury]

They will see the live feed so yes

[@itashwawatkins6752]

Im trying this but, guest can't see my share screen

[@krishnansrinivasan830]

Awesome & Thanks :)

[@AdrianSalisbury]

Our pleasure!

[@jimh1946]

I use Ecamm all of the time. But Zoom seems easier for guest screen share, especially if the guest is not familiar with Ecamm. I would prefer to use Ecamm. This demo goes a little too fast, maybe that's the issue. I want to get this dialed in on Eamm.

[@AdrianSalisbury]

Yes, there are a few options for effectively sending Ecamm into Zoom but ideally you want to bring your guest into Ecamm. I think you'd love our Ecamm Live Academy! We only run it twice a year and you're in luck, our next one is September 18th! ecammliveacademy.com

[@brianonesto]

can you share your screen as the host during the interview so the guest can see it?

[@brianonesto]

kept going through the video you show at 13:20 🙂 going to try this!
