So pleased to have discovered your channel today. This was the perfect tutorial for what we wanted to accomplish. Great job with the explanation of how to make this happen. We'll be checking out more of your videos!

[@MelanieDyann]

Woohoo! Welcome! So glad you’re here, and I’m super excited to hear this was helpful. This is 100% a great idea for chefs, cooks, or anyone doing any sort of demo. I have dreams to have a “cooking with Mel” show on my personal FB. LOL.

[@rudyonthego]

Melanie - I tried with my iPhone as well, and basically I signed in to stream yard with my device and followed the same instructions and you won't believe it, I was able to use my device as a 2nd cam as well. Thank you so much.

[@MelanieDyann]

Yep! Isn't it awesome? You'll just have to be careful about the audio. Keep that phone muted and you might have to plug in a dummy headphone (meaning headphones that are cut off) so you don't get any echo.

[@KendraMorgan]

This is great to know!!!

[@kenzisuzuki]

Hi Melanie, good tip. I follow the answers about the sound. I try to use 3 webcam (Logitech c922), and i had a lot of feedback with a separate mic. And when i try to share screen with audio create a big hum. I follow you. Thanks

Hi Melanie...enjoy your channel. New to Streamyard...so still learning. But I have a question....I haven't seen anyone cover this or if it's possible. I want to make a little more dynamic.....so if I have 2 to 3 guests on a stream and I am using overlays. If I switch to a solo few or a different few....is there a way to have the overlays change with the switch to a different view?

I can hear myself in the earbud and I have to mute the second camera mic because of the echo...but either way I get no audio on the screen...which I really need to use to help with my sound quality. PLUS...I'm really wanting to add the Stream beats from Spotify in the mix like you explained...but don't see to be able to do all that at once! I guess I'm asking for too much!

[@gerardorangel9031]

It´s works great, I did a live with 3 cameras using 2 laptops, the trick for me was : Main laptop with main camera and mic, then the 2nd laptop (with speakers off and mic off) with 2 browser windows opens as invites (1 for each camera). the only thing to take care was in the 2nd laptop be sure to clear cache from the browsers and be sure you are entering as a invite, because if you have your streamyard user in the cache your would end entering not as invite but as admin and that slows down the live and creates problems. That was my experience. Good luck

[@MelanieDyann]

Yep that definitely works as well! Interesting to know that it can slow things down when you enter as an admin rather than a guest! Thanks for sharing that insight Gerado!

This is so great! Thanks for sharing!! I don't have a second camera but I do have my iphone. Do you know how you can use your iphone camera as the 2nd camera view without using the invite link still? Like, is there a way to plug in the iphone to the laptop and select it as the camera to use in Streamyard? Thanks so much!!

[@MelanieDyann]

Hey there! Thanks for watching. So you absolutely can. You actually do it the same way, just on your iPhone. You just to go StreamYard in Safari and join the same stream. I just tested it and it worked! You may have more difficulty with the audio issues...so if the iPhone is the 2nd camera, I'd mute it in SY and plug in some headphones because for whatever reason, you can't fully turn the speaker volume down on the phone in the scenarios. I'd love to hear if this works for you.

[@MelanieDyann]

You have two options. One, join the stream as a guest from your phone....but you can also connect your phone or tablet to your computer as a "webcam" I'm going to link to one of StreamYard's recent videos about this exact topic. This video is great. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oaPLp5d_aZmJgKc

[@splitrock323]

Well done video. You explained it perfectly. This is a great help to us learning to go LIVE. Thank you. (Q: Did you mute the second camera? Canon EOS? )

[@MelanieDyann]

Hi there. Yes, that eliminates the echo.

[@john_miko]

Great stuff Melanie. So if you are using your phone is a primary webcam and your pc/mac to share your desktop there's no where around all the audio issues right? Whether is hearing your self in your ear or crazy echoing.

[@MelanieDyann]

Hi Ron did you fix the echo. I'm having the same problem?

[@Hospitalitydefender1]

I think I saw you need to not select an audio input or mute it for the second cam, something along those lines.

[@HallyuHagdom]

I just bought 2 more webcams (because I have so many plans for this) currently use 2 webcams to do unboxings so I can switch back and forth or show my face and hands but was thinking about doing some live cooking on the channel and can I realise I can have a facecam, a bowl cam, a stove cam and an entire kitchen cam and switch between them. Just need to attach a little lavalier mic to me and all set! Thanks for the tips. I was still using invitation method.

[@MelanieDyann]

Sweet! All of those camera angles will really add some interest to your show! I hope it works out well! You MIGHT want to consider using OBS as a virtual webcam in StreamYard too. I’m getting ready to make a video about that. Stay tuned!

[@jalabi99]

[@TacticalNoize]

Thanks for this excellent tutorial. Was wondering myself how to stream with multicams and this is by far the best one i’ve seen. The only thing i keep seeing is a delay in one of the cameras. Does it happen everytime? Thanks Keep up the good work! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@MelanieDyann]

I'm so glad you found it helpful! The camera delay is likely one of two things. Internet bandwidth or CPU usage. It could simply be that your computer isn't powerful enough. For the internet...try hardwiring into your router instead of using WiFi.

[@ahugenerd]

Thank you so much for this info! I have a question about it. Have you ever had any issues with this method overloading and/or crashing the browser? Again, thank you!

[@MelanieDyann]

That is certainly a possibility depending on your computer specifications, internet strength, etc. I'd be sure to have a fresh restart in before, and close any background programs (Google Drive, Dropbox, etc) that don't need to run. Also close all apps or programs.

[@StavrosZazanis]

Hi Melanie, This video is very helpful! I tried to do so, but i had some sound problems. Do i have to choose the same audio source or a different one ?

Thank you so much! This is exactly what I've been struggling to figure out.

[@MelanieDyann]

Awesome! So glad it helped!

[@PurgatoryParanormalofNY]

@@MelanieDyann Quick question: I tried this last stream and muted the second camera because that seemed to make sense to me. But I had to give up because I ended up hearing my own audio like an echo after I spoke. It was odd and I see in your video that you don't mute the second camera. Did I miss something? Thanks in advance for any advice!

[@MelanieDyann]

@@PurgatoryParanormalofNY hi there. So, that could be because your audio speaker chosen for the 2nd camera is an active speaker. I have multiple audio devices hooked up including one that has no volume (my 2nd monitor) that I usually select. So you have the option to turn the volume down so it's not distracting or select another speaker device that is muted or has the volume down. Does that make sense?

[@PurgatoryParanormalofNY]

@@MelanieDyann When you say speaker, you mean output, not mic input, I'm assuming. I will definitely try that out. Thank you so much!

[@MelanieDyann]

@@PurgatoryParanormalofNY yep that's correct...that is how it's listed in StreamYard too (speaker)

[@marionajera8502]

Great video, did you notice the audio delay on the canon eos? Was there a work around for that?

[@MelanieDyann]

Hey Mario. Yep, there are definitely some audio imperfections when using this method...especially when you use a DSLR. I had lots of latency issues when I used my Canon EOS with the Webcam Utility App. I don't seem to be having issues with my Sony A6100 + Elgato Cam Link.

[@robinmvanatta]

Hey Melanie! Love your content and tips! Question: I am currently using an HP elitebook as my only computer source and a usb webcam as my main front view camera. It's a decent machine (for now), but it only has one usb input. So far, I've been sending an invite guest link to my phone to be the overhead cam when creating my projects. Would it be possible to use a usb hub so that I can plug in my current webcam and a second device (phone or webcam)? Or would a usb hub affect the video quality? Thanks in advance.

[@MelanieDyann]

Hi there Robin!!!! I’m so glad you asked this question during live as well. I think it’s 100% worth a try. I know a lot of Mac users use USB hubs because of the lack of inputs. I’d love for you to report back and let us know how it works out for you.

[@MrsSoniaElaine]

Thank you so much for this, I am about to start live steaming for fb and KZbin , I’m a cooking channel so I want to show myself but also what I’m cooking. Excited to try this and practice. Going to try going live in a week or two but I want to practice a few times. I’m worried about audio. I think I saw one on audio. So I could have two cameras and then use a separate mic. I have a good mic I normally use for voiceovers and I thought might try it. Subscribed your channel is what I need. Do you know does KZbin or fb live show captions in live or only after ? It’s super important to me because I have a deaf daughter and want to make sure everyone has access in lives.

[@MelanieDyann]

Welcome to my channel sister. Yes, there is a follow up video I did where I talk a bit about the audio. I think a 2nd camera would be FABULOUS for cooking shows.

Can you do the same thing with a laptop webcam and an iPhone ? I want to be able to choose face view or desk view and switch between the 2.

[@MelanieDyann]

Hey there! Yep. It should work the same way….you would just to StreamYard.com in Safari and you’ll notice the interface is merely identical. Just be sure to plug in a cut off headphone cable so your audio speaker is 100% muted on the phone…and mute the mic as you enter the studio with your phone.

[@TopFitnessStrategies]

Love this! I had an older logitech collecting dust. I plugged it in and BANG! Two angles! One questions though, have you had any issues with sound feedback? If I leave one view muted and the other unmuted, I get TONS of feedback. Even if I do it visa versa. Even if I put both cameras on the same microphone setting. Have you ran into this?

[@CAREERLAUNCHAUSTRALIA]

You're spot on, Andrew. I experience a wave of echo that keeps coming intermittently. Not sure how to fix this. Can you please help, Melanie?

[@iamjw3]

I too have a brio and a Sony a6100. Is there anyway to match the color on both cameras? This may not be an appropriate question but how did you get on the ecamm platform using streamyard?! Was watching a couple days ago when Lauria and thought I’d ask. By the way, you have a face and personality that’d light up any room OR screen!

[@MelanieDyann]

Thanks, Jasper! You're so kind. You can use the LogiCapture app to adjust the settings on your Logitech Brio, but I doubt you'll ever get it to closely match the Sony a6100...but in some environments (with simpler backgrounds) you can get it close. For your other question, Luria was using Ecamm, but using Restream to multistream the show to all of her channels. I just use StreamYard for my shows (no Ecamm - I'm on a PC).

This is perfect for beauty youtubers also!!! I really need a way to shoot two different angles, one over head and one as a head shot. And this is so doable!!!! Thanks so much. The only suggestion I might make is that your thumbnail kinda looks like you are comparing the two cameras because it's the same pose in each camera. I'm not a dummy I read the title but just a suggestion get that side angle pic to throw as the other pic for the thumbnail so we see that you can achieve 2 angles!!! Ps you're gonna blow up!!! You're insanely talented.

Hey Andy. Yes you can have up to 6 guests or sources on screen with the free and basic plan. If you are on the pro plan you can have 10. Animated backgrounds work as long as it is a GIF file under 3mb and you’re on the basic or pro plan. Let me know if you want a free trial. Happy to help.

Hopefully you've figured this out by now. Again so sorry I missed your comment until just now.

[@Vertshark]

I never thought to do it this way! The only potential issue is a slight bit of lag, but it's hardly noticeable and if you're doing a demo it doesn't matter. Is audio an issue with echo? If it is, I think you can turn down one of the other to zero.

[@rawtime]

reat stuff. is there a way to add lag to the other capture so there is no audio delay?

[@MelanieDyann]

Hey there. So there aren't any settings in SY that allow you to adjust audio lag. I find this is typically an issue if your system doesn't have enough RAM to have both cameras and browsers going at the same time. I have used many other streaming platforms and IMO StreamYard has by far the least amount of lag issues.

[@rawtime]

@@MelanieDyann thank you.

[@S2B]

Hi Mel How did you not get audio feedback, as your on the stream twice?

[@MelanieDyann]

Hey there! Great question. So I had 2 microphones hooked into my computer. When I entered the 2nd camera, I selected the mic's headphone jack as my speaker. If you don't have a set-up like this, you can select your speakers, but make sure they are muted. Hope that makes sense.

I came to say the same. There’s latency that should be address. Could be a few things. But I’ve not played w/ the canon software but there could be a setting there. but now that I think of it - could be the stream is actually going through StreamYard and back to the client, creating enough latency, since it a sep browser. I would quicker buy an ATEM MINI and another inexpensive webcam and try that way.

appreciate the tip, but the audio is an issue - major feedback loop. 920 and the built in webcam...macbook. hmmm

Agh! I missed your original comment. SO sorry about that. The audio is a little tricky, depending on your set-up. I just did a live exploration of this you can check out. Actual demo video coming but check this out in the meantime. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zn3YYnmPoNh6fpo

How to zoom in and zoom out in the iPhone camera?

[@MelanieDyann]

That probably requires a 3rd party app on your phone. But I am not sure.

[@JovelCipriano]

Hi Melanie. Thanks for this very useful tip. What about recording? Can you do 2 separate recordings of the 2 different camera angles? One recording the full screen front view of you and the other can do a full screen side view of you. This will allow you to have more room to edit in post. And you don't need to constantly press the window icons to switch. Have you tried this? Many thanks.

[@MelanieDyann]

Hi Jovel. Great question. The short answer is no. StreamYard isn't really built for that type of video creation. It's built for live video, and not so much for post-production editing.

[@JovelCipriano]

@@MelanieDyann Thanks. :)

This is what I was looking for. But whay if I wany to join from my phone. Phone has speaker. Webcame does not have speaker

[@MelanieDyann]

Hey there. If you join from your phone as the 2nd camera you'll need to mute it and plug headphones into the speaker to eliminate the echo. I did another video that might explain better: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zn3YYnmPoNh6fpo

Hello, nice to watch How to Use Multiple Webcams with StreamYard, Jaendar Simamora (Hassan Joy) Medan, Indonesia

I tried it but I have a delay and even echo...how can you workaround this?

[@MelanieDyann]

Hey there. I just did a live video about these two things. The delay could be due to CPU usage, internet bandwidth, and/or cables. There are some easy fixes to eliminate the echo. Hopefully this video is helpful tool: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zn3YYnmPoNh6fpo

[@ekj24000]

NICE VIDEO BUT I STILL GET THE ECHO IN MY AUDIO , WHAT AM I DOING WRONG

[@ToniWall]

How do you handle the audio on all of these different cameras? The audio feed back is the big problem.

[@MelanieDyann]

Great question Toni. There are a few ways around the issue...I have a second USB mic hooked up to my computer. I select that mic, but it's muted on the device. SO, no audio comes from the feed. The other issue is playback audio...so you'd want to select "speakers" that are not active or turned down. Hope that makes sense. I learned this through a bunch of trial and error. :)

[@MelanieDyann]

Hey there. I wanted to follow up and l let you know I did a live demo this morning about the audio issues. Hope you find this helpful kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zn3YYnmPoNh6fpo
