My OVERKILL Video Conferencing Setup - Make Microsoft Teams, WebEX and Zoom Calls Look Great

[@jaxondesantis2267]

This was incredibly useful to watch, thanks heaps for creating this incredibly valuable content. Cheers from Australia!

[@TheVoiceofTheProphetElizer]

Dude, I love this - this is EXACTLY the kind of overkill I’m looking for. This is great - thanks, man!

[@nickziemer8123]

I enjoyed watching your video, however, I was hoping that you would show the equipment in action a lot more than just simply describing it.

[@saidkural8454]

thank you so much for amazing video, I love getting this much info under 8 mins

[@sleepyhorses6100]

How do you listen to participants? Are you wearing headphones? I hate the look of headphones, but I'm worried that an external mic is going to pickup other people talking if I'm listening to them through speakers. No video covers this!

[@robb.sutton]

I use my computer speakers. There is no echo or issues.

[@FixAteVideo]

@@robb.sutton hi do you have recommendation for PC speakers. Should they be USB or 3.5?

[@paulfriedrichschulz1964]

Depends if you have a good soundcard

[@jdmdang]

nice to see youre still rocking the vivo monitor stand.. and youre a car guy too lol dope! subbed!

[@robb.sutton]

Thanks!

[@MichaelGarcia-rl8ew]

Great video!!! I have one question. How do you keep the camera powered up? I have a Sony a6500 4k that I tried early on using my batteries but they did not last long. If you can share what power you are using and if your camera stays on all the time or you only turn it on before a conference call.

[@stevedowning4824]

You can get a USB battery dummy on amazon for like 20 bucks

What Large LED light do you use for side lighting?

[@RxGamer2018]

Wow thanks so much man. Everything you said is on point. I have a really solid workstation / gaming / streaming setup. I think I just really need to work on is lightening and maybe a good background as my room is just a spare bedroom. Any tips?

[@robb.sutton]

I did the Philips Hue Play Bars and the pallet wall but it really depends on what you want. Lowes and Home Depot have some great options as well.

[@bruce9108]

What do you use to hear the call?

[@robb.sutton]

Computer audio through the speakers on my desk. There is no echo or any other issues.

[@U238389]

Is there such a thing as "the set up guys? I would like to pay a professional and just come back when it's all installed.

[@robb.sutton]

I'm sure there is. Probably a local person or a Best Buy Geek Squad setup.

[@sikiuhernandez4417]

Hey thanks for putting this list of items together Rob. I'm just wondering how did you decided on each piece of equipment? Also, if I wanted to start producing my own KZbin videos would this system be good/ideal for that as well?

[@robb.sutton]

It would be great for a KZbin setup. The setup doubles as that for me.

[@rscotthinkle]

How did you resolve the audio + video lag with the mic not going into the camera? When I have done this (Nikon Z6 + mic into an Audio Interface) there is lag...so i had to get an on camera mic. Curious how you got around this. Thx.

[@robb.sutton]

I am not experiencing any lag with this setup.

[@ThePeterasd]

If you use 4k streaming for Microsoft Teams, will it be a problem for the other side if they don't have high bandwidth internet?

[@robb.sutton]

It will get compressed.

[@StjepanWerft]

Is it possible to get 4K in Microsoft Teams without external encoder? We had issues even with the 1080p 30fps 🤔

[@markstowe3087]

Speakers? What do you use to listen to when on your Teams, WebEX and or Zoom calls?

[@robb.sutton]

The speakers that are beside the monitor. There is no echo or anything. Works perfectly.

[@jorgeeduardomendez4861]

Why you don't have 100k subs?

[@robb.sutton]

I need to make more videos!

[@blbreptiles4126]

Lol this guy got the vaccine

Actually I can’t.

Nah, this is too much tech, for no reason.

[@hathor2]

LOL title of the video does say overkill? unless it wasnt that at the time you commented ;-)

[@Damoskinos]

You talk too fast

[@robb.sutton]

Do I talk too fast? Or do you listen too slow...

[@hathor2]

@@robb.sutton depends if the person has English as a second language. I have no issues with your talking speed, some folks might not see your humor though :-P
