ทำไมโปรแกรมของฉันสะดุด !???

[@MichelleGold]

SUPER HELPFUL! I got it. I dont yet see how you connected phone cam and macbook pro cam. But I dont think I'll use that featrure anyhow. Superb app! THANKS!

[@QueenpreneurRachel]

Adrian, thank you for this tip. Great find for $2.99. Do you think you could use it for two iphones at once...one overhead and one front facing? Or will it only register one phone? Thanks -Rachel

[@TokyoXtreme]

I'd recommend using Filmic Pro for your iPhone, because you have a ton of options, and you can use any of the available cameras on the phone, and the most important thing of all... you get a perfectly clean feed that doesn't even have the status bar visible. If you plug in the iPhone to a Mac, you can use Quicktime Player to make a new movie recording and use the iPhone as the source. There's almost zero lag (probably a couple of milliseconds), and it looks amazing. Probably will work well with Ecamm.

[@akepezinskas]

How to you get rid of status bar and oall this stuff in filmic pro?

[@stefanwesternacher2334]

@@akepezinskas You can do this under settings>device

[@wendellkmusic]

Does not work with iPhone 11. Filmic Pro puts black bars above and below your shot

[@joshmabus3112]

It seems to be missing a step where the iPhone camera actually comes in as a source via USB. Can you add some more detail on that?

[@AdrianSalisbury]

You simply connect via your USB, iTunes opens, your phones says do you trust this computer, yes, then it's connected. If you're having trouble make sure your iTunes is up to date. Come back if that doesn't fix it. You may enjoy the Ecamm Live Academy starting Monday too ;-) www.adriansalisbury.com/ecamm-live-academy

[@joshmabus3112]

@@AdrianSalisbury This was an incredibly interesting way to discover I have a bad USB adapter! I changed out from lightning to USB-C and it worked perfectly. Thank you for these wonderful and instructional videos. My company put on a live event last Thursday. We originally planned to broadcast from a church, but due to stay-in-place orders around COVID-19, that was not an option. I found your videos and ECAMM live and can't thank you enough for helping us make the event go off with very few problems!

ขอบคุณครับ 🙇🏻‍♂️

[@monikanowaczyk4071]

Is there any chance of this working with an Android device? (I have never owned an iPhone and plan to never own one ;).

[@harnessdigitalmarketing]

We tried installing it and using it. I have not been able to get it to work yet. I tried closing out Ecamm and restarting, but nothing. Any suggestions or idea on getting it to work with my mac?

[@MARCIOROCHAPRODUCTION]

Hi... I am having troubles to switch from portrait and landscape when I am using the iPhone 11. I will love to use only landscape when I am streaming the live... can anyone help me ?

[@DoctorSiriChand]

same issue. did you figure it out?

[@MARCIOROCHAPRODUCTION]

Dr. Siri Chand Khalsa MD hi... o downloaded another app called shoot... that allows me the use the camera perfectly and when you do live you don’t lose the connection... usb required for this app! It solve the issue! But I have to use an alternative option for my mic!

[@IleaneSmith]

Thanks for the video Adrian. I love using the second cam when I demo the Stream Deck! I just wish we could keep the phone in portrait mode but it seems to always show up inside of Ecamm in landscape. Have you noticed that?

[@AdrianSalisbury]

Ileane Smith yes, and it’s fixed to one rotation too. You can zoom in though 🤷‍♂️

[@IleaneSmith]

Adrian Salisbury thanks but Zooming in will not help because my goal is to have a head to toe shot in portrait. That way I can record with the Tall aspect setting and add all the great overlays and other cool Ecamm Live options!

[@MatthewMay]

@@IleaneSmith if you just plug in your iPhone to your laptop without using the app, it should show portrait. In fact without this app you cannot get landscape orientation. That's really all the app does...rotate the camera image.

[@IleaneSmith]

Matthew May oh wow! I think you misunderstand what a “clean feed” means. In order for you to get a clean feed from your iPhone you need an app! Are use my iPhone for screen sharing all the time but if you want to use your phone as a camera you need something called a clean feed - Which means there are no camera controls or other icons on screen

[@nancyatlaslive]

Thank You! Lifesaver once again! My webcam looked cheesy but now I have the power of my iphone 11pro. Awesome recommendation. Cheers!

[@ericdoziermusic]

Can you recommend how to do this with Android to Mac over usb?

[@P3REiiRANO]

So, I constantly change from iPhone to Android and was also looking for an app for android and finally found a solution. Head over to the following link: iriun.com and install the Webcam for mac. Once you Download the Webcam for Mac, you head over to the google play store you install the following app in your android device: Iriun 4K Webcam for PC and Mac. I have been using it for a couple of days now and have no issues using it with ecamm, either via USB cable or WiFi.

[@TheShadowNewsNetwork]

It’s ridiculous how 54K views but only 700 likes. SMH. It cost nothing to like a video! Great content!!

[@SoulMoonsRising]

Thank you! I’ve been searching for a way to use my phone rather then my built in camera on my laptop. While it’s a great camera my iPhone one is better. Now I’ll be able to use it!

[@AdrianSalisbury]

Soul Moons Rising great, glad it helped

[@bradpaulp]

Epoc cam is terrible. Used to be good but keeps disconnecting. Going to try this one on my next live stream because I don’t like using the WiFi for connection.

[@bradpaulp]

The reason I use multiple cameras is because my live streams are a video podcast interview and we have three cameras. One for me. One for guest. And one for the ecamm operator. Works great! Use two canons with native usb support and then third camera is the iPhone. Definitely going to try this app out.

[@AdrianSalisbury]

Brad Poirier let us know how you get on 👍

[@ariasjp2010]

Hey Adrian, I have the app and I’m using my iPhone 11 but when it goes Live on Facebook it comes out fuzzy, when I’m not online it goes back to normal, any advice please?

[@czdesign]

Adrian, first off… fantastic tutorials! A friend of mine just told me about Ecamm and I'm sold! Question though: when using the phone as a camera feed (and I use another cool app that lets you lock white balance and then hide all the controls), and when using a Yeti for audio input, do I need to do anything to mute the phone? Or does it automatically mute. I think it does… but, just checking. Again, brilliant tutorials. Super excited to start using this app.

[@P3REiiRANO]

Cathy Zielske if you are are using an interface, you can feed your phone’s audio through that interface. There is an option on Ecamm. Not sure if you have tried but Ecamm offers 14-day free trial (no credit card necessary).

[@czdesign]

@@P3REiiRANO Hey Johan, thanks for the reply. I'm already a subscriber to ECamm and I really like it. But… whenever I try to add another phone for extra video, it just won't come up as an option. If that makes sense. It just gives me one input (iPhone 1) and the Webcam on the laptop. I keep trying to find another way to override and replace the webcam, but it doesn't seem to be an option. I just want to move to a better face front camera. Probably going to pick up a Canon M50 at some point. I have a Canon 5d Mark II but… it does not live track focus, which makes it limited for video.

[@BlackravenarmouryUk]

Hey Adrian, Could you tell me what pic boom stand and fitting your using for overhead shots ??

[@technickr]

the camera is not lip-sync, isn't it?!

[@rooneycare5062]

I dont know how to rotate the Iphone camera to landscape in Ecamm Live.

[@TheQuiltShowcom]

I started using 2 iPhones with clean camera and it worked wonderfully. Now eCamm will not see both camera/iPhones. I can put either iPhone on and it works, but both do not work at the same time. What changed?

[@valeriej.brooks1344]

BRILLIANT! I could not find a webcam anywhere! They're sold out at every major store, both online and box stores. So this came as not only a money saver but a lifesaver. Thanks, Adrian.

[@CraigAddy]

This is great. I'm a pianist doing livestream concerts. I'm going to set up my iPhone to show a close up of my hands at the keyboard. I do notice your low frame rate - 25 is a bit choppy. I think if you are doing something with quicker movement like playing an instrument or dancing etc, a higher frame rate of 50 or 60 would be better. Just downloaded the free trial. I will find out.

[@FCTHETRUTH]

ADRIAN UR MY FAVORITE KZbinR THANK YOU

Do you have links to the tripods and boom? Very cool videos Adrian - thanks a lot!

[@MarkHankinsMinistriesTV]

Hello! I am wondering if this can be done remotely? We have a live bible school each morning and we typically do this in our TV studio, however, our pastors travel for meeting and we are trying to find a way to use Ecamm live. Ideally, we would like them to use a phone/camera from their location, but we will be simulcasting from our headquarters. Is this possible? Thanks

[@AdrianSalisbury]

You can do this by bringing them in as a guest from Skype

[@charlesmandey]

can I integrate this into zoom or any other web conferencing apps?

[@AdrianSalisbury]

yes if you're on a PRO account so you can use the virtual cam.

[@FCTHETRUTH]

[@AdrianSalisbury]

Glad it was helpful!

[@marcusdelacruz4730]

This is the worst way to Live Stream...terrible, terrible, terrible! Using the phone way cause serious drags such as audio and video delays and freezes. Think about it for a moment. The phone captures the media live, the media goes to the wifi from the phone, from the wifi the media goes back to the computer, then again from the computer to be sent out by the eamm to the next career. It's terrible, I think the ATEM mini pro maybe your only hope to do a proper live stream. However, there will issues if you even want to go live with ATEM in any mobile application. Don't use phone, just for recording nothing more. You can see the delays in the example Adrian gives you...and think if you see it then it gets worst because he's not doing it live.

[@deepudr]

But the video suggests not to use the wifi. I plugged the iphone directly as described in the video and it worked flawlessly. Yes notifications is a problem though with Shoot app !

[@chillstudiolima]

hello! How about android? help please!

[@SondelaConsulting]

Adrian, Great channel I have been following you for a while. Love your stuff. what is the Mic stand (and phone holder) are you are using for the phone

[@thisisLEA]

Let me just say: ECamm is lovely. Enjoying using it so much! Thank you.

[@czdesign]

@AdrianSalisbury I have a question for you: I use my iPhone for my table view camera. Can I use a second iPhone (and older one) as another camera for my face front view, to have a better quality video than what my MacBook web cam offers? I tried it once, with two iPhone 7s and it didn't seem to recognize the other iPhone as a camera source. I'm trying to decide if I should buy a mirrorless DSLR video camera or just get a new iPhone 11Pro for table top, and then use my old iPhone for my front facing camera feed. Clear as mud? Appreciate any info !

[@aaaerodynamics]

I am using an iPhone 10 and an iPhone 6S as a secondary camera. I have both plugged into a USB hub. Ecamm initially didn't seem to recognize the 6S, but after a restart, I didn't have any problems and was able to set-up two different scenes for each phone. There was a noticeable difference in quality, but the 6S was still better than 3 other webcams I tried. I think I will step up and add a "newer" old iPhone to the mix.

[@wufulpistola6700]

the people pays you to learn this? you are a genius. selling ice to penguin

[@MattBrandon]

How do you keep all the phone's notifications from showing on on the camera?

[@MattBrandon]

Doh! Put the phone on Airplane mode! Head slap!

[@TheReal-HopeBoykinDance]

Thank you for all of your great help! I did find I needed to turn off notifications when using this app. The screen stayed on, regardless of my settings, but notifications did in fact come through. Thanks again.

[@coolteacherproject]

The app works also with the second camera. You just have to push the camera icon that appears on the screen. However, I’ve noticed that the camera switch icon and the info buttons don’t always appear on the app. A small glitch. But, both cameras work with this app on a iPhone 7.

[@systotech3826]

Which application are you using in your system? Plz suggest best one

[@AdrianSalisbury]

Amit Kumar which application? This is Ecamm, I linked to a free trial in the description

[@josephpenta6893]

Are you just plugging the iPhone in directly to the laptop via Lightning to USB-C cable or do you still need a video capture device?

[@kdog729]

Did you get an answer? I can't get Ecamm live to see this camera

[@MattBrandon]

@@kdog729 Yes just plug it in , while using the app. Basically plug and play.

[@diegoescobar_]

Hi Adrian! I got the Pro version right now! I’m really happy with the result. You can watch my last stream on my KZbin Channel about soccer (Diegol Tv). I have other question. In Ecamm can I use iPhone as camera through NDI source? I mean without usb cable, just troughs WiFi conexión? Because there is a NDI app but I’m no sure if it’s possible to do something like that. Thank you.

[@AnvilAirsoftTV]

My only thoughts are that I need to get a bigger secondary monitor! :)

[@MichaelPerezHypnosis]

If you are on Android, head over to Iriun dot com. They have a Webcam app for the Mac and for Android or iOS phones that will appear as a camera in Ecamm Live. Can connect either by WiFi (the Mac and the phone need to be on the same WiFi network for this) or by USB cable.

[@Jarhead6]

Can you receive phone calls on ecamm?

[@ribeauc]

Hi Adrian, I'm using Ecamm Live only since few months and I'm using a webcam and my iPhone X with Shoot app or Epic Cam. I would like to know if I could use Filmic Promotion with Ecamm live. Thanks. Your videos are always a great source of inspiration.

[@scottdiussa5659]

Really cool, except that on my iPhone 7 this app has me up side down in any vertical mode and I can't get it to be upright. Only in the landscape mode. Any thoughts?

[@mplemke]

I haven’t read all the comments, but in case nobody else has verified that this camera keeps your phone from sleeping....it does. We’ve gone for up to an hour with my phone set to sleep in 30 seconds, and it hasn’t gone to sleep.

[@WomenCreateWeekly]

Links to stand and app?

[@CiroMarc]

Hi I noticed someone else had asked this same question, but there was no response. Let me try. How can I set it so that the video feed from the iPhone can be oriented to landscape as indicated in your tutorial. Mine comes in as portrait ?

[@MatthewMay]

are you sure you started the app first? seems lotsa folks buy the app, plug their phone it, and open their camera...that won't work. you don't even touch your camera controls. just the app.

[@ShannonTabaldoLMU]

This was a GREAT recommendation AND there seems to have been an update that allows for front camera as well. I also can control from my Apple Watch some settings. I think this will solve in of the issues I was having! Thanks.

[@DahliaMTV]

[@วิทยาวะภา]

Is there an option to make it horizontal or vertical or does that depend on the iPhone orientation? Thanks!
