@@AdamKyleJackson and the webcam app is not stabil the app shut off every time and and then your are without cam because you can’t choose gopro without starting obs new.. really need this camlink thing

Why doesn't my gopro10 work with C to HDMI cord for OBS?

[@WorldWorshipCentreMinistries]

THIS WAS USEFUL. LESS PEOPLE MAKE THIS KIND OF CONTENT. THANK YOU THOUGH.

[@IAMTALLBOY]

Good stuff. Very precise. Just bought Gopro hero 10 & said where is the HDMI input. Damn another 80+ USD well I ordered media mod & just ran across this video. Saved me a lot of time. Thank you

[@joellebrooke42]

Man, I wish I had seen this sooner! I've spent over 8 hours back and forth on the phone with GoPro customer support and Windows customer support after 2 weeks of trying to figure this thing out on my own... GoPro has been telling me I need to have a utility driver installed in order for anything to be able to work, but my pc hates the .msi file (why its not .exe is beyond me.) GoPro says its a Windows issue, Windows says its a GoPro issue. I had no idea the Media Mod existed till this video. I'm a little mad with GoPro, especially since I have to spend $100 more in order to get this to do what I bought it for in the first place, but I'm not shocked. In the end, I bought a Hero 8 for its durability, portability, and quality, so its not a total loss.

[@DocFUNKist]

That's really weird, but I only had a black screen when using the Elgato 4K Capture card... seems it's a very common problem... I agree the Hero 7 Black never given me a single issue!!!! I agree with every point you made between Hero 7 and 8... totally agree. 7 Far the better choice!!!!

[@dugsbugs1]

This has been an issue forever and gopro still won't do a simple update to make it so we don't have to do this every time it is connected. The gopro 7 doesn't have this annoying feature. I find I have to crop it out in OBS to prevent using the mode button every time. When using a switcher, the HDMI disconnects every time you switch and then the osd returns. I have 3 gopro 8 and I still can't find anything positive to say about them.

[@todddionne3632]

would you be able to tell me how you have it mounted to use it as a streaming camera ?

[@garybarnett893]

Great post Adam. Very helpful, especially around how to get clean HDMI. I’m still struggling to get good quality to my Mac (M1 Apple silicon). I’m trying to use it strictly as a webcam, and not for live streaming. Did you install the Elgato Game Capture software on your Mac? I have seen some users comment that it ‘helps’ with overall quality. Your GoPro quality looks amazing in your video. I don’t seem to be dropping frames. It’s just that the overall video quality is poor regardless of whether I set the GoPro to 4K or 1080.

[@homejbstudio2920]

Hi Kyle Jackson, this video of yours helped me to solve some problems with my gopro 8, thank you very much.

[@NathanHesselman]

Hey, man great video! I am doing so many zoom calls lately and trying to either set up my canon m50 or GoPro this video was really helpful! Thanks!

[@AdamKyleJackson]

Appreciate the feedback Nathan! - Adam

[@WendellLive]

Exactly what I needed!!! Thank you. I'm using my Go Pro as my camera in OBS. Loving it. Yes, its not a DSLR but its cheaper and delivers a great picture.

[@DrRam0]

Hey I'm having trouble with lag or webcam latency... do you have that with media mod and cam link??

[@WendellLive]

@@DrRam0 I am using the Hero 9 with a Cam Link. I'm not having any issues. Do a record test, and then a stream test. If the lag is in the record test, then its a computer hardware/CPU issue. If the record test is OK, but the stream test lags its your internet connection. You have a high chance of lag with a wifi stream as opposed to a hard wire stream. There is a way to address lag within OBS (slowing up or speeding up audio). I'm not familiar with how to use it since I'm not having issues. There are YT tutorials on this. BTW, I was using wifi, but now have a powerline connection which is able to give me a hard wire connection in my studio. I used a TP-Link powerline device.

[@Apentemma]

Had the same problem, purchased as another tool in the box but wish I'd got the 7 and not the 8.

[@AdamKyleJackson]

Same here

[@repentmfgaming]

Hi, trying to get a webcam setup like this. Not having issues with clean setup- but am having issues with my Source being stuck at 1080p59 even though I have the GoPro 8 camera profile at 4K or 2.7K. Any ideas or tips?

[@AdamKyleJackson]

For me it's stuck on 1080p using the Webcam utility but I do get 4k clean through HDMI

[@tonead3748]

@@AdamKyleJackson to what obs? im lost on how im able to watch ur video in 4k lol?, the reason to do this for me, is to get the camera hooked up to the computer, so i could record videos inside obs but even inside OBS im capped at 1080p, because im going threw the 4k60pro capture card (capture utility) that's only giving receiving a 1080p source from camera. where are u getting 4k through hdmi to? on the box it does say 1080 live streaming but that's also confusing is it 1080 when u go live or 1080p threw hdmi lol!!!!!

[@bestonyoutube]

Hi, I have a question: What would be the best value for money webcam solution you can get for around $300 max right now? Would it be the GoPro Hero8 and use it over HDMI with a HDMI usb capture stick? Or are there better solutions which give better quality?

[@JenniferLaveryFBE]

We're setting up go-pros for our super mobile streaming kits, and I seriously spent all day trying to figure out why it kept showing up as no signal on the 4k capture software.

[@matrix2004]

GoPro 10 and Windows 11. Can't get the driver to work and can't get the camera to go into webcam mode.

[@colorinsidefilms3655]

Hi Adam, do you know a solution to connect my gopro hero 8 to my pc with 10 meters of cable please?

[@AdamKyleJackson]

is the issue that the signal degrades over 30 foot of cable? I want to make sure I understand what issue it is you are having.

[@TrevoirWilliams]

Your audio from the Rode mic is very clean. How do you get it that clean?

[@WattsnabbAB]

Hi. Thanks for youre video. Any solution for the startup screen and how to direct get to camera? Really enoing when switching between screens =)

[@tonead3748]

im lost a tad everything has been perfect but one thing i dont understand on my end at least, i can play your video here on KZbin in 4k, but when i have my setup hooked up my input on the 4k capture utility stays on 1080/60 even though the hero8 says 4k60w, and if i double check in obs the camera sorce it also is only 1080p how are u getting/recording in 4k? or are u just recording onto your cameras memory card? and thats how, are we stuck to only 1080p using this way

[@TomasSandven]

Hold up - I can't use a USB-C to HDMI cable? I actually need a media mod, or this camera is useless?

[@lifeintnchevalier]

Good info, thanks

[@lilygoose]

Great video man

[@ScottyFranchyze]

Thanks for this man. We had been having the struggle when it came to this.

[@doganguler3629]

Sir, I am just wondering if I get media mod, hdmi-to-micro_hdmi, cam-link & usb-c, can i connect gopro8 directly to zoom, skype, ms teams, g-meet as like as a built-in webcam without OBS? Thanks for replying.

[@IAMTALLBOY]

Yes u can; go into your camera settings on zoom or gmeet Skype & select gopro over integrated cam

[@doganguler3629]

@@IAMTALLBOY I appreciate it xx

[@jacvanderspuy5618]

You sir are a giant amongst men! Thanks for this. I was at the point of returning my media mod for the hero 9. But thinking back to when I first started it up I should have read the instructions that popped up. But then you should only read instruction in an emergency :-)

[@Melodee420]

Thank you so much for this. Was recently gifted one of these and am trying to get the feed into OBS to no avail. I have a few simple questions about some specifics and hardware I'd like ask you if you're available. =)

[@RezaPratamaR]

Do you have delay issue?

[@DJMatthewDunn]

Are you able to get 4K output on the micro HDMI out? I keep having issues with the camlink 4K capture app telling me the "source" is only 480p

[@tonead3748]

did u figure this out??? mine is stuck at 1080p and im confused because you can watch his video in 4k, maybe he upscaled it or maybe he recorded it to his storage sd-card on the camera, idk in my utility and obs, im only getting 1080p60, when i bought it i knew on the box it was capped @ 1080p live streaming, but i was hoping this would allow me to just record videos out of obs for youtube lets say doing it all this way, ease of use but it doesn't look like it, im still just confused on how he is able to let us watch it in 4k

[@DJMatthewDunn]

@@tonead3748 it's bad news I'm afraid. According to GoPro 's own website, the max resolution you can get off that HDMI out is 1080p @ 60. And that's even true for the new 10 & 11 models as well. It's a complete waste of hardware and opportunity by GoPro:-(

[@tonead3748]

@@DJMatthewDunn yah if you look at the real resolution quality of his video you can tell its not a crisp 4k so he must of done something like rendered it to, i saw another comment someone else asked this, his reply was- (mine is also capped to 1080p source input inside the capture utility) but then went on to state (hes still also getting a clean 4k through hdmi) to witch i replied where lol? the reason you would do this is to one use the gopro as a webcam/hook the hero to the pc to record inside something like obs, but no matter what it has to run threw the capture utility to be shown to your computer! and then no matter what, everything else is inline after utility software, so would also get the same 1080p signal shame!!! unless im missing something! i wish i didn't just go buy this dumb piece for the hero 8 lol i guess i jumped the gun seeing his video was able to be played in 4k/ that he must of recorded it in 4k

[@DJMatthewDunn]

@@tonead3748 well the one benefit of using this over the GoPro webcam software, is when you use the webcam mode, you're locked out of ALL the cameras manual settings and stuck with 1080p @ 30 with no way to change it. At least with the media mod you get the bump on fps to 60 and regain access to all the cameras manual control settings. Whether or not that's worth the price of a media mod though ... heavily debatable 😅

[@toxicosounds2126]

Adam, would the result be the same with a mini atem pro iso? I loved the result with the 4k cam link, but I never got close to that image quality in the lives I did with mine.

[@ingarzonmediagroup]

Thank you so much for making this video!!! I had been looking everywhere for this!

[@youngchristopher14]

Im trying to use this exact set-up. I can get my camera to show up on the elgato 4k capture program but there is terrible audio feedback and It doesnt work when selecting the elgato when trying to use youtube live. Maybe I have to wrong cord? Im at a loss and cant find anything to help rectify the issue.

[@aaronlea-art]

I found this video because I’m having all the same issues and seeing if others were. You mentioned you were adjusting the ISO. We’re you doing that while unplugged from HDMI? If not, how do you adjust ISO while plugged in? Also, does using the Hero 7 Black eliminate all the problems or just eliminates the need for the Camlink and the Media Mod. I’ve noticed anytime I slightly bump into the go pro, it looses its hdmi connection. Is that a feature or a bug? Great channel.

[@AdamKyleJackson]

Adjusted while plugged in. I find if you sneeze on the GoPro is messes up. I have the same problem storm chasing using it.

[@jfjoubertquebec]

I've just bought the Hero 9 and hoping to hook it up with hdmi. (Not at all interested in the audio...) Long struggle ahead!

[@AdamKyleJackson]

It can be a pain. I've recently tried the app approach but it doesn't give me the flexibility or resolution I was looking for.

[@IamnOtmrcole]

That was a big help removing the battery and sd card display items. I removed the battery like you said since I am using the media mod, it now shows just the usb connected on the front and back displays and won't run the webcam. I am running into an Item Mini (The plan is to have 3 cameras once I get the set up working) and then out to OBS. You said you were able to run without the battery. Am I missing something? Thanks in advance.

[@charizardchaser]

I got the GoPro 8 for card breaks then has no hdmi which is a huge disappointment. I hate the wife affect and trying to change it. The Webcam has one setting?

[@SlayandShine]

Thanks for this ! I have the 7 black with microphone adapter. I won’t be able to charge & use microphone adapter at the same time. Do you think I’ll still need to remove batteries?

[@AlTrivett]

Thanks Adam! This was a helpful tutorial! :-)

[@saibamoe]

No Buy hero 7 black instead No need for media mod shite which costs 80-100$ extra uselessly

[@AdamKyleJackson]

[@grewentv5061]

Bro how do you set this gopro and the mic with out delay?

[@IbizanHound2]

Hello and thank you for the video! So even though the gopro hero7 has an hdmi port, I still need to connect it through the camlink dongle to the PC?

[@onthelinewithjr1851]

Hi Adam, so to connect a Hero 7 to an ATEM mini I would need an mini HDMI to the 7 and a standard sized HDMI cable to the ATEM mini? As it stands I can't shell out $1000 on a camera now, amny better suggestions?
