Livestream Like a Pro, with Ecamm Live

[@twominutetips]

I'm an Ecamm major fan too. It's the best and most intuitive livestream software out there. Good to see you are still operating. I followed you years ago when things were much more complicated than they are now. Thank you.

[@KateMcDee]

Thank you! I just started live streaming my fitness classes this week and I am BLOWN away by what I can do with broadcasting software. Unbelievable. I am so excited to help other fitness professionals break out of the traditional gym setting and reach people. So so cool thank you for your videos. I am learning so much and can't wait to see where this goes!

[@lainla6211]

Thank you! I worked in TV for almost a decade in Production Operations so your TV truck comparison was so helpful. I am currently doing some research to help my church upgrade their live stream production and this video was great. I appreciate your generosity with your knowledge. If we decide to go with ECamm, I'll definitely use your affiliate link.

[@TheOrganizedSoprano]

I gave a Thumbs up for Farley LOL Thanks for this video, Steve! I JUST downloaded this app and I'm BLOWN AWAY. Going to PAY, worth EVERY PENNY

[@SolKnopfMusic]

Steve...you are awesome. This is such a huge help. I can’t thank you enough. I’ll be ordering through your affiliate link!

[@icreateart1407]

Great video. Thanks. Just entering live streaming. What’s the big difference between ECAMM & Be.Live? Also any issues using FB groups v page? Thanks again.

[@PhilipVanDusen]

Steve, what kind of cable connection did you use to connect your Canon DSLR? I have an Canon 80D and use mac (macbookPro and iMacPro) what connection port on the camera? - and direct to a USB input on the mac?

[@dottotech]

It is a USB connection, Not all are going to work, it is still early days, I think the folks at Ecamm are going to start a web page with compatible cameras, Check out their beta FB group. facebook.com/groups/ecammlivebeta/

[@QLFProductions]

I'm an OBS user on mac. About to get Ecamm live. Please let me know if you have any green screen tutorials.

[@PeterCoulsonPhotographer]

Hi Steve the audio seems to be out of sync to the video, Can you fix The sync with the Ecamm software Like you can with OBS software.

[@NilsKennethFordal]

Thanks for this amazing tutorial! I will definitely use Ecamm live when I start my weekly live shows soon.

[@WambuiMadeIt]

I enjoyed this informative tutorial. I love Ecamm Live! It does make everything sooo simple - and I look sooo good and professional when I use it.

[@smartmandarinkatrinalee]

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much!!! This is sooo helpful!! :)

[@YervantTech]

Thanks for the excellent tutorial. How do you compare this against hardware streamer like Blackmagic Atem.

[@Sheersocial]

I want to know how you brought int the animated graphic overlay at 10:26 that says "Steve's Vlog". That was created externally obviously but using what? After Effects? And was that video with the graphic created outside of ecamm and then used as a scene? I'm seeking ways to integrated animated graphics, not videos, into my streams. Any tips? Thanks in advance for any info you share!

[@sfdigital]

Been using OBS so far. Will give eCamm a go Thanks Steve :)

[@VivieneBrown]

Thank you. I'm about to try e-camm live, and these tips really help.

[@dottotech]

Great to hear!

[@24hrMrLocksmith]

Perfect timing Steve, I just purchased a cable to connect my Panasonic GH5 to my Mac. Downloading Ecamm now. Will it interface with Webinar Jam or other Webinar products?

[@dottotech]

You can through something called a virtual camera, which is a feature built into Ecamm

[@24hrMrLocksmith]

Jakob Bantleon I decided not to use webcams so I am using the Blackmagic Design UltraStudio Mini Recorder for one camera to my computer and then live stream but upgrading to the Blackmagic Design Web Presenter Streaming Interface to have two GH5 cameras to my computer and then live stream. It only outputs to live stream in 720. Sounds like a future webinar for Steve?

[@24hrMrLocksmith]

Jakob Bantleon Still trying to figure out how to do 1080. I will do a few in 720 and see how everything goes.

[@yamanientertainmentofficial]

Hello . I have problem from Ecamm live ... i have live streaming before from facebook then i can't see my video after live from facebook..... so Ecammm live have solution?? For save video live on facebook ?

[@TalkEthiopia]

I have two questions dear dottotech 1/ Can we resize video windows on the canvas and also crop them as we do in observation. OBS allows resizing of video windows and also cropping. 2/ Can we use any other app to change the scenes without using the mouse or keyboard. Apps like Touch Portal let you do that on OBS and it comes in very handy for those who can't afford buying stream deck. I am not referring to the picture and picture mode though. That also shows the desktop. I am talking about adding a video window on the canvas and resizing and cropping it for both camera source and media source.

[@SLAPSTICK2011]

*Steve, can we use Road aster Pro with Ecamm Live to ZOOM? Thank you.*

[@damayoclinic]

Awesome video, Thank You. I have a imac 27" and a Sony a7iii I want to use for livestreams, do I need a capture card?

[@dottotech]

I don’t know, you’ll have to take a look online and see what the story is about using the Sony as a WebCam. Worst case scenario the Elgato stream link would probably serve you well

[@official.thebox]

Thank you so much, I now can stream!

[@deceleration7427]

I bought ECamm 1.5 years back, before there was this pro version you are demonstrating here (or pro+ beta upgrades?). Sadly, it appears the ECamm folks have disappeared the option for selecting an external audio source (I used my Blue Yeti). This had been included in my original account purchase. This sets a bad precedent. The new features are cool, but will the ECamm folks take any of those away next time they upgrade? (Maybe the green screen?) ... Please correct me if I am wrong on the audio source issue. ... Considering that I went through hell with the third-party Camera Live app that was required to connect my DSLR (consistent failures to connect that tanked my attempt to deliver several important meetings I was tasked to stream) I'm feeling twice burned right now. Is Camera Live still required? ... I still love the idea of ECamm Live and am back considering pro version if these issues have been addressed. Still a much better package (in theory) for the price then what else is out there. Oh, and props for a very well done introduction to the platform.

[@orlandozoli]

Does it save a copy of the stream on your Mac?

[@hiram9337]

I have windows can you make a video using VMix. thanks

[@CarrieReagh]

You're so funny how you geek out about tech. LOL (laughing with you!) I was just testing Live "programs" recently. I tested BeLive a couple times and then Ecamm once and was sold. BeLive was great but Ecamm had me geeking out like you just did! Hahaha....great software. Can't wait to use it more. Thanks for the video. I like the scenes demo's you did!

[@HingdranataNikolay]

LOVE your videos!

[@TedFong10]

Great video...when you cut to the DSLR, how do you fix the audio lag? Will Ecamm use the audio from the DSLR so it stays in sync with the video?

[@dottotech]

It has not been an issue for me, Check with the Ecamm team on Facebook in their forum, that is where they handle all the tech issues.

[@KateMcDee]

Do you have any videos or recommendations for audio input...certain mics (I need wireless) that are high quality and how to stream music in addition to my voice. I have a set up now that is working but I want to level up my production!

[@orlandozoli]

Are you able to use an open window on desktop as a source?

[@BoxingNow]

I'm playing a video on ecamm on a loop. Is there anyway to keep the audio going out on the stream but mute it on my end so I can do other stuff? I cant seem to find an option

[@Chromajt]

If you go to your preferences menu there is an option to mute audio playback in your in your monitoring during video playback

[@genegraves3076]

Lol, my head is swimming with ideas for using this. Thanks.

[@dayinthelifehawaii]

thank you, very useful video!

[@dottotech]

You are welcome!

[@SamSilk]

I can't access ecamm website. Do you know if something's wrong? it seems offline

[@blogtobizstrategies2475]

When you want to do a split screen with ecamm and you want one of the views to be a screenshare - how do you demonstrate on the screenshare while still seeing your Ecamm interface? I find that when I am trying to demonstrate on a screenshare it completely covers up the Ecamm interface.

[@larryhernandez1469]

Great video as always Steve. I used "ecamm live" as the tool of choice for my weekly live Fb community show. I agree with all the positives you shared. The only issue I've had, and it's a big one, is that, to my knowledge, the only way to have a live guest with Ecamm, is to use Skype. Now, I might have missed something, but if that is the case, I am going with something like crowdcast. For most people, skype is an ok solution, but in my opinion, for business professionals in my industry, skype has gone the way of aol email. Just my two cents, other than that, Ecamm is really cool.

[@mattramage4389]

If love to see how you could leverage a tool like the atem mini with Ecamm to make something incredible.

[@darcyogandagatrillionaire]

Great video like usual what software do you use for your titles on videos. Thanks

[@bobbelcher1826]

Steve, is there a live streaming program that allows for private or limited target viewing? What I want to show is not open to the public. I want to do Presentations for a specific target audience, that only 'they' can see/hear the video live.

[@BillyKueekSG]

I just started facebook live video last week for a series of weekly Inspirational Moments. Your tutorials are excellent but I’m a tech dummy so still figuring it out. I use my MacBook air for this, do I really need a dslr camera?

[@dottotech]

No, but you should have a better webcam than the built in one in the Air. Something like this geni.us/RqvGkz6

[@BillyKueekSG]

I will look or it, its not available at your link. Next, I will be using the airpods to hopefully have a better mic. Still learning the ecamm, intention is every fb live I do from now must have an improvement.

[@55Ramius]

Checked out vmix for windows you suggested when running on a windows machine. Looks pretty good and they have free version at lower resolution but to step up to higher, it only cost $60 once, not subscription. At least it looked that way. Now all I need is a KZbin channel, vmix , a desire to be live and $$$. Never was a fan of live but I see merit in it for certain circumstances. My problem with most live channels is to get to the point you have to listen to a long string of hello so in so , how you doing?. Then sprinkled all through the video, just as the person is about to say something of worth, they stop to say howdy again or thanks for the money offer, ect. It makes my thought process stumble, for lack of a better description. I understand relating to the people live but reel it in for God's sake. 1 or 2 hours of what could have been 20 minutes is just too much for a lot of people with little time to waste on the social side of it. I think the live stream popularity shot up from 2 things. Many liked the one on one live with channel owner and second, the creator does not have to edit a polished video. I can see how that last part would be appealing. At any rate, all of you that enjoy live stream's, have fun. I for one have to struggle to stay on one to the end.

[@RockstarMindTV]

Hey Steve....if I have a mic plugged into my SL2, will Ecamm be able to pick up my audio as well? I'm plugging in through USB. Thanks man!

[@ProdigyBowlersTour]

This is awesome! Especially having a broadcast professional present it. (I'm one of those, too.) And a broadcast professional who's a dog person, to boot! (I'm one of those, too!) Couple of questions: 1. How many scenes does it allow you to set up? Just four? Or more? 2. When you set up a scene of an external video that you want to bring in, does it just play from the beginning? Or can you set an In and Out point on the video you're bringing in? (Like I might want to play it from the 3:25 mark forward, not just from the very beginning.) 3. Is there a limit to the number of cameras it will allow you to use? Like you, I'm not impressed with the built-in camera on my iMac. But there are plenty of external USB webcams that can be purchased for not a lot of money that are pretty darn good. And I do have a Canon DSLR (7D, an older one, but I believe it does have a USB cable). 4. Is there something special that you have to do to connect a DSLR to get it to work? I mean, other than powering it on on the camera and have it properly framed and focused, etc., etc. I mean is there something special you have to do to get the video stream to get from the DSLR to eCamm? Great video! Thank you for making it. My viewers will thank you, too. :-)

[@GaryStockton]

Great demo Steve. LOL 😂 loved the Sunny San Diego clip

[@GaryStockton]

Wow eCamm Live works from inside my company’s network. Will be doing a trial.

[@ruizmediasolutions]

I love your videos. You are a native creator. Any good live software for PC?

[@EnglishTeacherLloyd]

Nice vid, Ecamm Live rocks! Happy I bought it back before they started the subscription :)

[@TonyOMalleyTV]

Hi Steve, I enjoyed your video but the audio is very slightly out of sync, meaning your voice comes earlier than the images, especially when you change to a different camera when it becomes even more obvious. Surely there must be a way to counteract this unfortunate glitch..? I've just downloaded the Ecamm trial which will only recognise one camera at a time. Am I doing something wrong or is this the way the trial works? Anyway, appreciate your enthusiasm! xxx

[@jacintobanda4114]

Hello Steve! I recently started using Ecamm Live and have had trouble using 2 cameras simultaneously. When I go live, the live stream will work great for about 5 minutes then the cameras will freeze but my audio will continue on the live stream. One camera is a Cannon EOS RP and the other is a Nikon D7500. I am using a Focusrite 2 channel usb audio interface on a MacBook Pro 2013 edition. My laptop has 8 GB ram a 2.4 GHz processor running Catalina 10.15.3 version. Is my ram the problem?

[@dottotech]

I suspect it has more to do with your camera's timing oput, but there is a great facebook group for Ecamm. users, ask there and they will solve it!

[@jacintobanda4114]

dottotech thank you for your fast reply and advice. Be well sir

[@JosephineDeSmet]

I don't think I heard from Ecamm live yet, I use OBS, but for screen capture it sucks so bad

[@LivePDOfficerInterviews]

Steve, I could really use your help. I’m disabled, a former broadcaster myself and have been doing a live podcast on Twitter and Facebook now for almost 2 years. It revolves around a network show with police officers on it. I interview the police officers and people watching the podcast get to know them better and ask questions of them. Now I’m learning fast moving this over to KZbin is a lot more intimidating than I expected. I’m a Mac user and am between Ecamm and OBS. I have about a five minute video to be set with a countdown timer for people to start checking into the channel before the live show starts so they can start communicating with each other. I think that’s a good thing. If you don’t mind helping another person out, what are your thoughts on that? The other questions I have are all kind of tangled up. To do these interviews can I use FaceTime as I have in the past or do I need to move to Skype? Can I be running the pre-recorded countdown video while I have the interview cast on a connection already on the side dad the viewers cannot hear or see until the countdown video ends and the show can begin? I although would like the comments to pop up on the screen so the viewers can see them. This is an essential part of my podcast that I don’t want to lose. It’s how many of the viewers ask questions of the guests that I have on. Can I have the viewer comments show up onscreen during the interview show? My friend, I could really use some help with this. I have my gear to do this but I could use some expertise and help. It’s kind of like having the interviewee in “audition,“ while the countdown clock video is in “program.“ As a former broadcaster I know that will make sense to you. Can it be done like this using Ecamm Live streaming to You tube? Thank you Steve, your help in advance really is priceless to me and I could sure use it.

[@kathiee.2013]

Hi, Steve, just began doing FB live. My challenge: I wear glasses like you do. Have you done a lighting setup for glasses wearers?

[@StartToFinishPodcastingTV]

I need help. Every time I go live on my own personal Facebook page, I can never see the comments that come in. I went live on FB and received 32 comments but none of them showed up while I was streaming live. Once I stopped the live stream I went back to view the replay all 32 comments showed up. These comment were all made the first 10 minutes of my stream. I had streamed for 30 minutes. Why cant I see the comments as they come in while I was live?

Great job as always. Long time subscriber, fellow Baby boomer Canuck. :-) We currently host weekly webinars for our community. We use Zoom and share the link so folks can join us. We also live stream it onto our Facebook group (private group). Would a tool like Ecamm be of benefit to our production? We are Mac users. Thanks.

You can use Ecamm, as a virtual camera, a very cool function, I plan to do a video on it soon.

[@ericjoneslive6489]

Thanks for the overview Steve. Can you hide personal information you don't want to show doing your live stream?

[@dottotech]

What sort of personal information are you talking about, You have to broadcast on a public channel of some sort

[@ericjoneslive6489]
