How do you connect your DLSR (Sony A7siii) for the camera in the livestream?

[@MarianoArauz]

Hello Melanie, love your studio setup... you look gorgeous!!!... so you decide to keep the el gato mic...

[@StreamYard]

Thank you.

[@MelanieDyann]

I do love the Elgato Wave 3 Mariano. It's a great mic for the $$$

[@StreamYard]

@@MelanieDyann, not to mention the extra software they include for routing different audio channels into the main one. That’s a nice bonus! Christian Karasiewicz 🦆

[@DaCoverGuy]

what backlighting do you use?

[@reaccionapuertorico]

Hi Melanie, Why did you go with the El Gato vs Yeti?

[@StreamYard]

The Wave microphone includes additional software to better control how your audio is routed. It’s specific to that brand of mic. Also,we find it’s a better overall microphone. If you’re considering either, it would be best to test them, and see which one works best for your needs. Christian Karasiewicz 🦆

We are a small church of 50 and we using a 4kwebcam for video source, but we have a yamaha MGxu audio mixer console. How can I get better audio out of our mixer board through the computer for better audio, without it jumping back to to default mic?

How can I get a "selfie" look (mirrored image) to my streaming camera?

[@StreamYard]

Have you checked out the new “mirror” option under Settings > Video? Is that what you are looking for? Christian Karasiewicz 🦆

I bought a Center Cam for use when I'm teaching - Doesn't detract from watching the screen.

If I invite my cell camera so I can have it constantly on action while I’m talking through my webcam, is there any way I can put me in the action shot? Or would I just need to stay off to the side?

[@StreamYard]

Great question. It would come in as a second camera. You would want to mute it using a adapter. Otherwise you’ll get audio feedback because you would have two microphones open. Then you can bring both cameras into the broadcast and then use the various layouts to have both cameras visible. Christian Karasiewicz 🦆
