Ecamm Live Pro or Standard for Live Streaming on a Mac 2020 | Which is Better?

Dear Diana, thank you for your generosity and kindness to make me a little part of your video ! I feel truly honored! Amazing video btw! It made me want to have a mac to use ecamm!! Love ya! ❤️🙌

I recently started to use eCamm and still learning all the pro features. Excellent content!

[@DianaGladney]

That's awesome Holly! I am so glad you like it! I have tons of Ecamm tutorials coming to the channel pretty quickly! Do you have any specific questions I could answer for you?

[@HollyLeeCoaching]

@@DianaGladney Yes, I seem to have a lot of trouble scheduling my YT stream from eCamm. Kept on saying that my YT is not set up, but it's enabled. I would love to see a vide on multistream and watch yours behind the scenes.

[@DianaGladney]

Gotcha! The easiest thing may be unlinking or signing out of your KZbin account and then reconnecting it from within Ecamm. Then, inside KZbin Studio beta making sure the settings match up. I’d probably have to uninstall my KZbin account on mine to show a tutorial but that’s probably easier than trying to describe it here lol Those are awesome ideas Holly, I’ll have to add those to the list!

[@Wisdom_Works]

Thank you so much. I’m interested in streaming here on KZbin and for the ministry but I needed more information. I’m fairly a new KZbinr. Thank you again!!!

[@Wisdom_Works]

@@DianaGladney I ordered the Elgato - Stream Deck XL Wired Keypad and I just received it on yesterday. After watching your video I purchased the Ecamm Live Pro. I honestly am, lost with what all is needed and how to use it or setup. I guess I need the basics for Live Streaming and the setup. 😂

I agree with you Diana. The Virtual Camera is a must. I’m using the trail version right now and I will definitely be getting the pro version. Especially now that video capture cards are hard to get at this time. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Blessings!

I was hoping you were going to give a quick explanation of all the pro features like you did with the standard. Do you have another video for that? Thanks for the great info.

[@DianaGladney]

At the time this video was recorded, there wasn't much else to cover for the Pro account. Most of the features wouldn't only be relevant to those hosting events with a dedicated stream producer. Thing have drastically changed since then but an updated video is definitely in order.

[@LisaCullen]

Very informative information. I’m use to live streaming via FB as a beauty influencer, but I want to start a bellydance fitness class. If I wanted to incorporate ecamm into a zoom class, can I have multiple students over 5? I heard ecamm only allows up to 5 guest. Also can I broadcast in FB, KZbin, and IG at the same time. I’m expecting a mixer, usb speakers for my music, and rode go wireless mic and appropriate cords. At this time I can’t afford another camera ( I have a cannon 70D), nor webcam. So I’m thinking about streaming with my iPhone 11 Pro in wide screen, and run the music from my MacBook Pro which is from 2007. Since I’ve watched your video, get the pro, ( to use the virtual cam) or should use my iPhone 11 Pro since the camera is awesome. I’d appreciate if you’d please advice me on what to use? 😊 I have subscribed!

[@DianaGladney]

[@EdenSocial]

Two things you didn’t cover which I had questions about. First, if you have the pro version and you do the guest interviews, do those guests also need ecamm installed on their side In order to join the session. Second, you mentioned the pro version allows for a producer type scenario where someone can monitor audio and manage comment streaming while you are Presenting. Does that second person, performing the producer role, also need ecamm Pro installed? Another way to say it, if I am paying the monthly fee for each ecamm pro And I have one or more people assisting me with the production side, or perhaps it’s a show hosted by multiple people, does that require each of us to pay this monthly membership or do we only need one membership for a single live stream, no matter how many people are acting as a producer?

[@DianaGladney]

At the time I recorded this video, Interview mode wasn't released yet so that's why nothing was shared relating to Interview Mode. Guests do not need to have Ecamm Live, they can join via a phone or via their computer. Chrome is best when connecting via Desktop. When I mentioned production tools in this video I'm referring to let's say for example you're having a setup where you are hosting a small event and you have a team member managing the live stream and maybe a confidence monitor setup, etc. A more in-depth Producer Mode will be releasing soon within Ecamm Live that will have more features but none of the latest additions to Ecamm Lives services require you to have multiple Ecamm Live accounts. If you have a second computer running Ecamm Live in your setup, you would just sign into your existing Ecamm Live account. Some of the questions you asked are compounded on one another so I'm not sure if that addresses all your concerns but if you have any specific service functionality questions, I'd definitely recommend reaching out to Ecamm's customer support.

Hi Diana, thank you for this great information. May I know the lens of the camera you are using? I want to buy a Canon lens with Wide Angle for my Canon 80D, I want to put the camera on my desk close to me and still have the Blur background.

[@DianaGladney]

My camera and lens are in the description but as far as a wide angle lens for the 80D with a blurry background won’t be cheap honestly. The Canon EF-S 24mm f2.8 will give you a little bit of a blurry background but you will need to sit the camera back a bit. amzn.to/2K6Npwh

[@andrewroyals]

You mentioned virtual cam was a Pro-only feature-I hadn't noticed that. That's the feature I'm looking for. Thanks for pointing that out. $25/mo. ($300/yr) seems a bit high to me, though. I may wait for the cost to come down, or others to develop a useful virtual cam for Mac. Very helpful. Thanks.

[@DianaGladney]

AFR Yeah, if that’s the ONLY feature you want, I would say consider using a capture card or something for the one time purchase price for sure. However, I am retesting an option that may work, just gotta make sure the steps in the tutorial are dialed in but might have a free option that will work. Gotta test it though. Still Mac Only but we’ll see. But otherwise maybe want to just go the capture card route because I honestly don’t see too many brand pull that off well but here’s to hoping!

[@TangerineTravels]

Hi Diana, thanks for the video. Do you know if ecamm has options to help manage higher-volume chat? We just started livestreaming and we get as many as 1,500 concurrent viewers so our chat box is really overwhelmed. When streaming through KZbin, I keep it on "top chat" or sometimes only on "super chats" to minimize the number of comments scrolling across the screen. I love the idea of being able to put peoples' comments on the screen but if the comments are scrolling at full speed, I don't think that we'll be able to easily find and click on those comments. Do you know if there are any features like "pause chat" or "top chat only" or "slow mode" or anything like that?

[@DianaGladney]

That's a really great question! It has a scroll feature built into the comment box. It's keeps the comments in order of the real time comments coming in but it won't force you scroll to the bottom. So, when you have a lot of comments, it's much easier to keep pace with where you left off at or scroll past certain comments if you want. That way you don't lose your place when you're reading comments or you can scroll back up to the top if you want. It's pretty easy to manage that way.

Hello Diana I Love your videos. I've been watching your videos and Im impressed with your content and progress! You inspire me! Oh yeah, and Im also a subscriber on my other channel. I have a question about ecamm live. While I do understand its a "live streaming software", do you use it to "record only" (and upload later) all your youtube videos or podcast moving forward? Or do you still record your podcast the traditional way? How about using ecamm to record podcast? I ask because I want to start creating content for youtube and podcasting. I have the equip, camera, mic, mixer, ipad, etc..Even for video podcasting, can you use ecamm live to record(not live) or is it better to use the traditional setup if Im not going "live" but want to to do video podcast? All that being said, keep in mind I dont mind going "live" sometimes and but was looking at ecamm for its quality and flexibility.

[@carolgroomingmen2408]

Hello Diana. Thank you liking my comment but can you answer my questions? 😀

[@DianaGladney]

Howdy Carol! 😊 So, I use Ecamm for a lot of things outside of just live streaming. It would be a super long post if I listed everything that I use it for but it is fully capable of doing a ton of create other creative functions so that you don’t have to invest in using other tools and that was one of the main reasons that I really enjoyed using it so much initially when I first switched to Mac to use Ecamm Live.

Learn so much from your videos thanks! Please clarify, can I use my M50 on the standard level? Also, if I added a second camera, Can I also use the Standard level or do I have to purchase Pro level? Thx

[@DianaGladney]

So, on either plan you can connect and use your M50 for streaming. The difference of getting a Pro account is so you can stream with a camera like the M50 to a program like Zoom or something and still use your M50 via USB. However, Canon has created the Webcam Utility program to do that so it's kind of not needed any longer just for the sake of sharing that feed as the only reason to upgrade. So, standard should work just fine for you.

Hi Diane you said you were using a Mac. Maybe you can help me I'm using a Macbook Pro with an UA Apollo. My problem is I'm recording with the Interface & mic. I'm also using cam link with my HD Camera. It's recording the sound and video. But when I play it back with my quick time player. The audio is not playing thru my Apollo interface. I've done everything I could to troubleshoot the problem. Can u please help me or do you know someone who can thank you.

[@DianaGladney]

Hey Bob sorry you’re having that issue. I haven’t used the specific user interface you have but I have used my Mac with a Behringer audio interface. In your sound preferences once it’s connected to your computer it should come up and you select it. Even in QuickTime I’m able to select it as the audio source. The only person on YT that I know has used a similar device is a music producer here on KZbin named Jon Sine. I’d message him on IG too and see if you get a response but he has a lot of content about audio connections and such and uses a Mac as well. Maybe he even had something in his channel from his vlogs that night show you but that’s the best I can offer. Sorry I can’t be of more help.

[@ThePhysedCoach]

Hi! If all I have is my canon camera, mic, and MacBook pro and I use ecamm live how do I screen share on Google meet or Zoom? Thanks!

[@DianaGladney]

So, you'll want to make sure you have a data capable USB cable so that Ecamm recognizes your camera. Make sure your Virtual Camera feature is enabled (Output > Virtual Cam > On.) When you go to Zoom or Google Meet, if you want to share your Ecamm live camera or whatever you share in Ecamm, in Zoom/Google Meet you will need to select "Ecamm Live Virtual Camera" as the camera source.

[@TomCollinsBanjo]

Thank you so much for this excellent review! I just did a livestream yesterday with OBS, and the setup alone was nightmarish when adding a Skype guest. My biggest concern is audio. Do you find the audio output of Ecamm to be of a high quality? As a musician, it's my biggest concern.

[@DianaGladney]

My pleasure!! ☺️ As a fellow musician, saxophonist, I can tell you the audio is great coming from Ecamm Live and that to make sure the audio stays that way when adding in a Skype guest, they want to make sure they're connected via Ethernet vs Wifi and use a good mic. Ecamm does a great job audio wise, but there's no helping if the Skype connection itself is having issues and that person drops or something. But you also have the Skype call recorder for Ecamm which is really cool You have your solo video, their solo video, and the audio. So, if you needed to do any backups you have that as well. But at best, if you have ethernet connections your audio should be great.

[@charlesrobertthomas]

Diana are you streaming from a MacBook or iMac? I'm preparing to stream with a 2019 MacBook Pro. My Mac fans sound like a freight train spilling the sound over into my mic feed. Any pointers?

[@DianaGladney]

Yeah, I use a MacBook Pro and if your fan is kicking on chances are while you’re streaming you have a ton your computer is struggling to process. I’d see how much RAM is running while it’s doing that and consider limiting some programs being open. So, if you have 8GB of RAM and 6 or 7 GB is being used, close out a few things. If that can’t be helped, I’d consider switching the type of microphone to one that rejects background noise better. Dynamic Cardioid Podcasting style microphones do a great job at rejecting background noise. That’s why I use the Samson Q2U because it’s great at rejecting any background noise. So if I do need to start running more programs while streaming and the fan kicks on, its not picked up in the stream.

New sub here First off. I recently started using ecamm pro. It’s great. However I cannot seem to find how to stream to multiple platforms without using restream. When I used stage ten, I could easily select all the places I wanted to stream to. Any ideas? PS: your flow is masterful. Thank you!

[@DianaGladney]

Currently, Ecamm doesn't have it natively built -in to stream to multiple platforms. So, right now you'd have to use Restream.

[@ro.aguilar]

Hello Diana. Love Your video, i have a question, if i want to connect my Canon M50 just using USB cable, i can do it with the standart version or just with the pro version? Thanks

[@DianaGladney]

You can connect your camera with the Standard account. The pro account offers the ability to share your virtual camera feed using Ecamm Live in places like zoom. But just to connect the camera and use it for videos and live streams, Standard will work just fine.

[@ro.aguilar]

Diana Gladney - EntreWoman TV thank you so much, Now I’m understanding.

[@DianaGladney]

My pleasure!! 😊

[@ItsMyLifeDaralynn]

Thanks for all that you do. You have on my fav top I've see you in. The Ecamm looks good. I will get it after I start live streaming more. I've been amping up lately just to warm up to it. I know I need to plan topics so I'm not fishing for something to say. The other part is I'm just uncomfortable live streaming but I want to do it. LOL I didn't know Ecamm is a subscription . Thanks for the information. Oh ! I can't remember but did you start streaming in the beginning with the Canon M50? I know you are cheating on us with Sony now ( hehe) But I can't remember . Keep up the good work.

[@DianaGladney]

Lol I started live streaming a long time ago on a Logitech c920 first actually and using BeLive and KZbin later on lol Then my first streams with a camera were with my Panasonic G85 and Ecamm Live then the M50 - she was last on the list lol It didn’t used to be a subscription back in the day, but once nearly every online platform started going to subscription based they held out for a long time but finally switched over. Financially though, it’s worked out better cuz we get way more features and updates sooner. Lastly, it’s stages to getting comfortable live streaming. So, like anything else, it’s a process. Start off with small short streams, like 5-7 minutes. It didn’t have to be a training, but start building up that streaming muscle. Lastly, I bought this shirt on a humbug lol but it was different and I liked that lol Turned out to be one of my favorites.

[@ashleighgriffin-farley1831]

you present so well. new subscriber!

[@DianaGladney]

Ashleigh Farley Thank you so much! 😊 I appreciate that and Welcome to the Community!

[@calvin_0]

hi diana! thanks for the video. Does Ecammlive have a preview for my media content before taking it live. like i position my logo first before its seen on the stream.

[@DianaGladney]

Before you go live you can setup the system of how you plan to run your live stream and save it (and change it on the fly as you need to in real-time if you ever need to) through the Scenes and overlay features. Then, there is an Output menu option if you need to review your display on a separate monitor. So, you'll be able to see you media and set everything up before you go live and position your logo wherever you want on the screen.

[@ChocolateTwistYoga]

Thank you! Just used your link to start the trial. So it looks like I can return my BMD Mini Recorder if I understand that no capture card needed.

[@DianaGladney]

My pleasure!! ☺️ Yeah, no need for a capture card now lol

[@bkk4032]

Thank you for the video. We interview guests (usually 2-3 people are in the video) but don't live stream the interviews. Can we do that with Ecamm Live? Currently, we use Skype to do the interviews and use the Ecamm's call recorder then we edit the multiple tracks using iMovie or Final Cut Pro X). Now we are considering using Ecamm Live just for functionality. We're trying to see if Ecamm Live will help in reducing the time to edit videos. Thoughts? Thanks for your help.

[@DianaGladney]

My pleasure!! 😊 Yes! You can interview guests without actually being live. What you'd do is instead of selecting Facebook or KZbin for the live streaming option in the bottom right of the viewing screen inside Ecamm Live, you will select from that same dropdown box option "Record Only". This feature will still allow you to use everything within Ecamm Live without actually going live to a platform and it will automatically save to your computer. Using the Record Only features is exactly how I recorded this exact video and nearly all of my videos at my desk. The only difference vs the Call Recorder on Ecamm Live is that the Call recorder will record the audio and video files separately so you can have multiple variations. Versus when you use the Record Only natively within Ecamm Live, however you're live mixing the video, that's what is produced. So, I use this to my benefit so if I want to put both myself and my guests on screen I can do that or if I want the guest full screen, then I will click the button to bring the guest full screen. This saves me a ton of time when it comes to actually editing.

[@gtwocgsf]

@@DianaGladney Thank you. That's what I needed to know.

[@DianaGladney]

Glad it was helpful! 😊

[@applelover53]

I’ve just got the free trial all I want to do is screen share live to my KZbin channel do you have a beginner guide to how it’s done and what settings to use please

[@DianaGladney]

Hey applelover53 I don't have a specific guide on Ecamm Live tutorials and it's not listed in the Livestreaming guide but I am sitting down to record and edit some videos today. So, that one is a very easy fix. So, I'll record that video tutorial and upload it to the channel within the next couple days for ya! But to try and walk you through that real quick, what you're seeing when you start ecamm live is your camera right? Right in the top middle of your screen where you see yourself displayed there is a little icon. One looks like a camera, the other looks like a computer monitor icon, the third one looks like some film and has a little play button in it. Once you see those, when you click on the middle option, the one that looks like a computer monitor, it will share your screen. Let me know if you found the button or if you need a bit more help with that until the tutorial drops!

[@motivationalvibesfun5451]

Thanks for this nice tutorial, please I will like to ask you if ecamm live can be use on windows

[@DianaGladney]

Glad you enjoyed the video! This software is Mac only.

[@tkointernational]

You provided some great information. I was looking to go with OBS until I found out about ECAMM. My question is I want to stream DJ set's and I want to use my iPhone 11 pro max and an action camera as webcams. Is this possible? Keep up the great work, and I'm a new subscriber.

[@DianaGladney]

My pleasure!! ☺️ As far as a phone, you can connect it multiple ways but easily with Ecamm. As far as an action camera, I have no clue. Never tried it. Something I don't have the ability to test. I guess if it has HDMI out on the action camera, it may hook up the same way a regular camera would.

[@tkointernational]

Diana Gladney - EntreWoman TV thank you

[@DianaGladney]

DJ TKO Tony My pleasure!

[@mylifeisablackmirror]

Hello. I saw your videos about which is the best to live stream on my macbook pro. I've been at this for a week. Trying to live stream a cellphone game called final fantasy war of the vision. I thought blue stacks would be the way to go. I'm having a hard time getting my webcam over my display image. OBS also slows down my computer. I'm literally on edge, about to break my phone and computer. Because this should be soooo simple, and the fact its not is ridiculous.

[@DianaGladney]

The only streaming software I’ve done tutorials about is Ecamm Live. Not sure what blue stacks is and I have never taught in OBS so not sure how to help you with those. As far as Ecamm Live goes, if you have an iPhone, you can connect that to your computer and share the screen and audio from Ecamm. Beyond that, that’s all you would have to do.

[@comunifecanada]

What kind of camera are you using? It is usb capture hdmi? How you arrive to blur and show great HD quality in your video? Thanks.

[@DianaGladney]

I use a Sony a6400 and yes with a capture card. The background blur has nothing to do with the camera but the lens. The regular video rules still apply even if you're live streaming.

[@godcatcher2009]

Witch card? Cam link ?

[@DianaGladney]

Yep, the cam link but I stop have the HD version. It was before the 4k version came out.

[@Lampdawg]

Do I need a video capture card to work cameras with ecamm?

[@DianaGladney]

It’s an option. Some cameras can connect via USB so no capture card is needed. There’s a video I rectify did about which ones will work without a capture card: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXWUoYt6o9Vpp7M

[@vksolanki]

You mentioned something about hooking up your Canon without using something like the CamLink. I'm trying to do that with an 80D. How are you doing this?

[@DianaGladney]

Vijay-Kumar Solanki It’s via USB. It’s simple though, this video goes over it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJLRaWVmhr6Wr80

[@StephenTilmon]

When multi camera recording, will it record what was done on the main screen/stream, but also give a file of each camera that was being used when finished?

[@DianaGladney]

The recent updates with the M1 Mac computers allow you to capture a feed that's the finished product with everyone in it and the option to have isolated audio and video depending on how many camera angles you're pulling off. Just make sure your computer meets the requirements and you're good to go.

[@alexiscabreramusic]

Thank you for this info, really complete. i am giving online one-on-one music lessons through skype but its audio quality is not the best, i am considering about moving to ecamm, but my question is if my student will still receive the same bad audio quality using skype.

[@DianaGladney]

That’s actually one area I’ve never had an issue with. You can connect a mixer, audio interface, whatever you prefer and it’ll sound great. This video East recording using Ecamm and the audio coming through the software as well. There’s no voice audio processing in the video either.

[@Adon77]

Sorry my question is do you use a capture card for streaming from your mac and your Sony alpha??

[@DianaGladney]

I do, especially since it has clean HDMI out and no limitations when streaming with it.

[@Adon77]

Diana Gladney - EntreWoman TV i have a a6400 and i want to use it with ecamm but apparently I need a capture card .all of them are out of stock. With my dslr 2 i use just the usb

[@DianaGladney]

All I will say is stay tuned on that note...lol

[@JonathanCreek]

Hey Diana - Informative video thank you for putting it together. MY one issue with ECamm is that when I host someone on my Livestream they can't see me or the screen in real time. (I'm a legacy standard licence user) Is the solution here atm to use the Pro level virtual cam to screen capture a zoom call and just have it as a "source" that we can switch between?

[@DianaGladney]

Jonathan Creek hmm... I’m curious what exactly you mean. Is this on Skype and zoom calls by chance? I need some more details to see what you mean.

[@JonathanCreek]

Diana Gladney - EntreWoman TV Yes - so when I use ECamm and have a guest on via Skype they can’t see me - one work around I have see is people using zoom and just sharing the screen via eCamm. How do your guests see you when you host them via eCamm?

[@mohammedshajib5632]

Can u use it for streamyard as well?

[@DianaGladney]

Yep! You can share your virtual camera feed or whatever you have going through Ecamm over to Streamyard. You're just sharing that feed over. I would just make sure you have enough to run all the programs you're considering. Otherwise, you're good to go!

[@mohammedshajib5632]

Diana Gladney - EntreWoman TV i have tried a lots but couldnt connect with streamyard on macbook. If u kindly make a video how to connect step by step it will be great help for everyone

[@Sarahlife-o5i]

Hello, I have a question please. I just want to stream my recorded videos on Facebook do I have to use ecamm Pro or standard?

[@DianaGladney]

If you mean to just play a recorded video while live, you can do that with the standard plan. If you're referring to the live stream only playing a scheduled pre-recorded video, the service doesn't do that at all. For a long-time Facebook has frowned upon that stating it was against their rules. I haven't checked the latest updates on that but it may still be a thing. Restream, if I recall correctly, will allow you to schedule and pre-recorded video and stream the recorded video automatically. So, if that's what you're looking to do, that may be the route for you.

[@Sarahlife-o5i]

@@DianaGladney Thank you this is what I want to do send a pre recorded video on Facebook to show as if it was a live video. So do you think I can use ecamm? standard

[@DianaGladney]

Okay, yeah I’d check with Facebook current standards on that first just so you don’t your page or profile in a negative standing on Facebook. Ecamm doesn’t operate in that way. You’d still have to be present at your computer to start the live stream.

[@carolkeyshackett4937]

Diana how can you see the heart and like reactions go across the screen?

[@DianaGladney]

Carol Keys Hackett Thats a great question! It’s actually not going to be on the main display but in the comment box within Ecamm you get an animated icon that literally thumbs up the emoji when someone hits it. It’s pretty cool.

[@damayoclinic]

Thank you, Awesome video. I'm using a Sony a7iii camera, what other software do I need beside Ecamm; do I need a capture card!

[@DianaGladney]

Thank you, glad the video was helpful. The capture card is specifically for if you want to live stream using your camera. Ecamm has now made it available where you can use other brands, including Sony, without the need of a capture card but I think since the camera already has clean HDMI out, it's worth getting one. That way if you only have a Zoom call, you don't need to run Ecamm for the virtual camera just to share you cameras feed. So, I use Ecamm because of how incredible it is but I also have a capture card so I am not reliant on running it to stream my cameras feed.

[@AmadoWildlifeVideos]

@@DianaGladney If I have external camera + capture card and need to Zoom, do I need Ecamm at all?

[@DianaGladney]

@@AmadoWildlifeVideos Nope, if your camera has clean HDMI out and you're using a capture card, you don't need to run Ecamm at all. If I'm doing coaching calls or an interview, that's how I'm hooked up 100% of the time. I only use Ecamm for hosting live streams and using the record only feature to still use the Ecamm software to record tutorial videos. Even then, my camera is connected via HDMI out and a capture card.

[@AmadoWildlifeVideos]

@@DianaGladney Hmm, just ordered a capture card so I'd save some money...I'm setting up as a student for online class and don't want the washed out iMac webcam look. [Your set up looks & sounds very professional, M50 is a sweet camera.] I guess there'll be six plus other students at least, but I'm not the host. Nevertheless Ecamm Pro level is what I'd go for. Your video was very concise & instructional for me, I've been dithering for a few days about how to go about this,

[@AmadoWildlifeVideos]

Subscribing...Thank you!

[@jeromile3392]

Hi Diana what lens do u use in here in ur M50 ?

[@DianaGladney]

I actually didn't shoot this video on my Canon, it's on my Sony a6400. My preferred lens is anywhere from 24mm to 35mm. This was shot on my 35mm lens and I use the same focal length for my Canon.

[@jeromile3392]

@@DianaGladney Ok thx 🙏

[@DianaGladney]

@@jeromile3392 My pleasure!! ☺️

[@TheHeartOfAVillain]

Ok sooooo I’m kinda confused.... if I want to use the M50 as my camera I use for live-streaming and Skype interviews.... using the usb method, I HAVE to have the pro version?

[@superdiesel0]

The Heart Of A Villain nope you can use your m50 on the trial version

[@DianaGladney]

The Heart Of A Villain Yeah, the pro account is the one that has the virtual camera feature. Unless you take some other route like Sparkocam or something. But if you’re doing Skype for interviews, you can bring them into Ecamm and just use a standard account. That’s already built into the software too. The virtual camera feature is like if you want to share that canon feed via USB as a web cam online, like in a Streamyard or Zoom call. That’a what that’s used for. Do a free trial and you can see if it’s worth it for you or not.

[@TheHeartOfAVillain]

Diana Gladney - EntreWoman TV I am already paying for the version a step below the Pro version. All I am wanting to do is be able to use a Canon M50 instead of my Brio as a webcam for my live-streams, and in lieu of my Brio when I do my Skype interviews. Can I do all of this without the Pro version?
