How to do a Multi-Camera Stream with StreamYard | New Built-In Feature
We've gone through many hoops to bring multiple cameras into the StreamYard studio. In this video I highlight StreamYard's latest feature which gives us a built-in option to add an additional camera to your stream. No Hardware, hacks, or tricks required.

This video is literally gold!

[@kirkrnugent]

So glad this video is still helping years after I posted it! I hope you're able to find more here on the channel that is equally as helpful.

[@webberinternethingy]

The minute I saw adding an additional camera was available, I thought "Oh great, another intimidating new feature... Man, I hope Kirk does a video. If he explains it, I'll understand." Boom, that's exactly what happened. Thank you Kirk!

[@kirkrnugent]

Oh wow this Comment literally made my day and put Gas back in my tank to keep pushing out content. Thank you so much!

Definitely a great addition but more for those looking for the option baked into the platform. Many alternative ways to do this and might even work better

It’s a awesome feature to use for top down shots as you mentioned but also for a second camera angle as well. Patter interrupts are used in media all the time to hold the audiences attention. Thanks for the comment and support of the channel.

Great Video Kirk! Really enjoyed your presentation and clear instructions. This may be a good way to go until I purchase a switcher. Thanks!

[@kirkrnugent]

Absolutely an option. I hope they give us a hotkey to switch cameras down the road as well. Thanks for your comment and feedback!

[@SewYourBag]

Really enjoy watching your videos as I start on my streaming journey. May be worth adding in the video that this is only available for top tier right now. I have purchased the steam deck and working on getting it set up for my 3 cams. BTW enjoyed the stream deck video as well.

[@kirkrnugent]

You're absolutely right, that was an oversight on my part. I said it in a previous video before the feature was released but I definitely needed to add that in here. Thanks for your feedback and support of the channel! Means a lot!

[@3000times]

Hopefully they’ll bring it to the second tier.

[@kirkrnugent]

Thanks for your feedback and support of the channel! Great point that I failed to mention in the video is that this is for Pro Subscribers... Thanks for that... There's always something.

[@MacKenziePoet]

What a pity that there is no "switch" feature allowing the user to toggle between cameras, which is all the trend right now in podcasting. Wait! I spoke too soon, you just demonstrated that you can switch between two cameras on the solo camera layout! Great presentation!

[@kirkrnugent]

So glad this was helpful! Thanks for your comment and support of the channel.

[@beigeproductions5352]

Hey Kirk, great video! Had a question: we are trying to live stream an eclipse outdoors with a professional camera (Feed 1) while also live streaming simultaneous indoor interviews (Feed 2) while also occasionally switching the feed for the indoor interviews for playing virtual pre-recorded videos (Feed 3). Please let me know the best way to proceed with this, would apprecaite any help! Just subscribed

question, in the end of the video, you show a shot where the back is blurry and it give you depth perspective. How do you do that? Great video.

[@kirkrnugent]

So sorry for the delay in getting back to you in this comment. It's all about the lens and camera... I'm using a Sony A6400 and a Sigma 16mm lens. Also I record my KZbin videos with Ecamm Live Pro. Latest video on the channel walks through my KZbin video production process. Thank you for the comment and support of the channel.

[@shantalrosariotv3162]

[@DearWokeChristian]

Now to be able to use Stream Deck to go between the 2 cams.

[@kirkrnugent]

Absolutely! We need a lot more Hotkeys

[@tstewartou]

Great video, very informative. I have a question, when recording only, does streamyard give a recorded file for each camera and a master file including the switches between cameras? Or just a master file?

[@kirkrnugent]

So sorry I missed this comment. You get all of the above with StreamYard Recording - both individual cameras and the master file with switches and graphics. Individual camera recording are clean - no overlays included.

[@tstewartou]

@@kirkrnugent No worries at all. Thank you so much, I appreciate you and the information!

[@kirkrnugent]

@@tstewartou My absolute pleasure!

[@Practical-IT]

I was excited for this feature only to find out it's only available in the highest tier option (unless that has changed). For the money, I bought an ATEM Mini Pro instead since there was only about $30 difference.

[@kirkrnugent]

As good as the feature is you're going to get far more functionality out of the ATEM Mini so that's probably not a bad move. I am on the highest Tier but that is because I do client shows to multiple destinations and we need them at 1080p.

[@Practical-IT]

@@kirkrnugent I suspected as much. I'd been wanting the ATEM Mini Pro for a while anyway. I appreciate what you do on your channel, I've learned quite a bit.

[@kirkrnugent]

@@Practical-IT thanks so much, truly appreciated!

[@charlie1872]

Hi Kirk, I run a live show from my model railway which I like to cover from different perspectives. I run through my Apple laptop and gave two webcams plugged into my laptop. I also use the laptop view for the chat line plus to get a personal view. In addition I invite my cellphone as an add on camera. Up to this point I open an additional session to allow me to have more than one camera but think this video might help. The other problem is my audio which might be a result of having a complicated set up. Any ideas? Thanks Charlie

[@kirkrnugent]

Hey man thanks for the comment and support of the channel. Yea you can add two cameras from one machine now in StreamYard with no audio issues. If you need more (sounds like you do) then yes bring it in as a guest but be sure to mute the mic and turn the volume all the way down if its a mobile device. Hope that helps. Feel free to follow up with other questions

[@backyardreactions]

If you're using an interface like the RodeCasterPro, can you use the extra camera view for a guest?

[@kirkrnugent]

Absolutely! In fact this is how my wife and I will do shows where her mic is plugged into the second port of the roadcaster pro My mic is plugged into the first port but we have those two cameras that are positioned to focus on each of us individually. So this is a great use of this feature.

[@rc3designs]

Are you able to download each camera recording separately or just as it was recorded in the stream?

[@kirkrnugent]

Thanks for the comment and support of the channel. At the time I recorded this video the answer to your question is no BUT I'm happy to share at present the answer is yes. StreamYard has ISO video and audio recording so you get both program recording and clean recordings of each camera in the studio both for the host and guests.

[@ltorresr]

Kirk, How do you do the spotlight effect on the screen?

[@kirkrnugent]

Thanks for your comment and support of the channel. I'm using a Mac app called Pro mouse. You can grab it in the Mac store. Hope that helps.

[@garyjonesjr.7015]

I wonder if team members can share more than one the camera since they are not guest, I will check it out now.

[@JohnRileyProject]

If I wanted to use 3 webcams on a single streamyard session, what is the best way to power those webcams? Clearly I can't run them all from one computer as I would overwhelm the device with too much bandwidth. Is it possible to run 2 webcams (I use Brio) on a single computer without performance issues? Or should I go with one computer per webcam?

[@kirkrnugent]

I've connected 5 webcams to one computer and it worked thought I needed a fairly powerful machine to pull it off. The video your commenting on highlights the built-in feature for adding one additional camera but I have two older ones and that method can be used to add multiple additional cameras. Those links are in the description of this video. Take a look and let me know if they answer the question. Thanks for your comment and support!

[@SethTheSpeaker]

I would love to know howto use the mevo wireless stream with streamyard

[@kirkrnugent]

Hi Seth sorry for the delay in responding, sometimes the Comment notifications don't come through. MEVO put out an update making it possible to use their cameras as a Webcam. Not all models received the update so check their site to see if the one you have got the update and if so you can just plug it in using USB and select it in StreamYard as your camera.

[@SethTheSpeaker]

@@kirkrnugent Copy that. I can get one to work. I just want to get the other 2 to rock out with. Back to the grind! Thank you.

[@coreysingletary8211]

‼️ How do you prevent your MacBook from overheating during a livestream? This just happened to me last night. I’m assuming your running from the MacBook Pro.

[@kirkrnugent]

When you say overhear what do you mean? Are the fans kicking on? Or does it shutdown. If it is the fan issue a mic that doesn’t pick up the room can help to mitigate that. For the intel based MacBooks their really is no fix for the fans kicking in even when doing a Zoom that would happen to me but I’ve since upgraded my MacBook to the Apple Silicon version aka the M1 and M2 processors and have no life fan issues whatsoever.

[@coreysingletary8211]

@@kirkrnugent yes the computer shut down right in the middle of my livestream. I’m just testing out Streamyard as an alternative to switch streaming hosts but didn’t realize it would require so much pull on the MacBook. I do have a 2017 MBP so I was afraid that you’d say it’s time to upgrade 😭‼️ but I think it’s not able to keep up with the demand possibly.

[@misterhelmet]

Is there the possibility to switch between these to cameras using streamdeck as I do with the rest of the commands? Still in the works?

Unfortunately not at this time. It's a request we've asked for but it hasn't been added. Thanks for your comment and support of the channel.

Absolutely as long as you use a Capture card or a Camera Switcher. Both of those allow you to connect to your computer USB and they show up as a WebCam which you can select in StreamYard.
