How To Use iVCam On OBS - ZERO LATENCY With A Cell Phone Webcam is POSSIBLE

[@snaplanguage]

Although I have a great WiFi connection, when I connected though USB, I realized immediately it made a HUUUUGE difference! Thank you for the no nonsense, straight to the point tutorials!

[@ledooni]

I wouldn‘t call it zero latency since you can still notice a difference to the direct webcam and it doesn‘t seem 100% lip synced but for the price it‘s definitely an excellent solution. Thanks for the detailed overview!

[@ScottFichter]

Agree, if your starting out that knock off converter is perfect. You can modify the color in OBS with filters with little effort.

On your PC setup, you need to allow private network access with a firewall exception for your LAN wifi to work.

[@renesoleana1414]

That flickering can be fixed by clicking on the preview of the IVCAM and zooming in and out rapidly We are currently livestreaming with IVCAM only 3 devices in OBS at 1920x1080. Works very wel

[@ScottFichter]

Wow killer.

[@frankbevi2230]

If you are using a XIAOMI phone, you need to set developer mode on your phone and activate USB debugger option first in other to work via USB.

[@ScottFichter]

I've never heard of that phone but cool.

[@albin3dklein]

I came here from the other video where you show how to connect 2 cameras. You said you spent an hour troubleshooting the wifi connection problem and then your solution is to end up making the video ONLY for USB connection, mate...Not cool! It took me less than 10 minutes to come up with the solution, just add some in/out exceptions for advanced configuration of the firewall and check if you don't have 2 different instances of e2eSoft iVCam in this panel "Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Windows Defender Firewall\Allowed apps", if so then just check both are allowed and be sure to activate the one that works. It works now. Thanks for the video anyway, the lag part was pretty good...I'm getting very low lag with FHD at 24fps medium quality and RGB24.

[@ScottFichter]

Outstanding.

[@albin3dklein]

@@ScottFichter do you have any other method to get no lag? I'm planning to use only smartphone cameras via WiFi, I'm considering just record the audio with a good mic, clap the start and synchronize it in post, anyway it's not gonna be live so i think the will work or...? Do you think the lag is variable?

There is lag in mine in 60fps in iphone 13promax in 1920x1080. and also the camera it uses is only wide angle. it does not use 1x or 3x. so when zoomed the quality degrades. but i love this. I didn't know you could use usb connection until this video. i get no lag in 1920x1080 in 30fps . I also purchased newtek ndi hx but it's so laggy. this is much better. my comptuer is pretty beasty too. do you have any idea why i'm getting lag in 60fps ?

Thank you for your video first, but I am unable to get the settings menu you show for ivcam. The program won't open by its self on desktop, but only in OBS, and it won't allow any adjustments there. Most of the options are greyed out. Perhaps this is because I have not purchased the premium, but only trying it out with the free version. Will keep trying to figure i out.

If that's the way it's supposed to be in order to show that audio is being recorded through the phones I'll buy it... if not then I think I'm just going to give up and stick with livestreaming to Facebook with just one phone like we've done for the past year.

Odds are you were using NDI which uses WIFI which is known for causing a good amount of lag. This is why iVcam rocks because you can use a USB connection which in most cases does not cause lag.

Celio, I've never un into the lag issue so I'm not gonna be of help. In order for me to fix a problem I need to be able to recreate it here. I can't I have no lag except when I turn up the resolutions to extreme levels. This is what the site says about it. Use lower video quality, smaller video size or frame rate, and be closer to your Wi-Fi router; Select HEVC video encoder in app settings if it's supported by your phone; You should have a high-performance Wi-Fi router if you're using W-Fi for connection; It is strongly recommended that the PC be connected to the router with a network cable. If you are using WiFi, restart your PC and try again; iVCam is real-time video streaming and requires high-performance network, maybe the lagging was caused by your router (especially when video lags at regular intervals), and sometimes a reboot for the router will help; Connecting via USB cable or enable hardware decoding in PC client software will also help (if the graphics card supports).

I use ivcam when I go live on a certain site and I do music through a focusrite 2i2 and usb that through my computer. When ever I talk to someone, one on one I can hear my audio feed back at me through the phone and the headphones I have plugged in. Is there any fix to cut my audio out, so I can just hear it on my headphones and still here the other person talk. Is there a way to shut audio out of ivcam and just have it on my headphones

[@ScottFichter]

Ben this is a KILLER question. I used to deal with this all the time. Then I discovered a program called VoiceMEETER Banana. Yes, the name is funky but the software is 100% and it's SUPER popular. What it does is allow you to reroute audio. In other words you can turn off you speakers and channel the audio into your headphones. Here's a link to the site www.vb-audio.com/Voicemeeter/banana.htm

[@MattMendians]

Is It better than EpocCam? That app didn’t work for me! I downloaded this app but not on my computer yet cause I have to get to bed! I’ll try it tomorrow

[@ScottFichter]

I'm not sure but I will look into it.

[@AhmetOmerOzgen]

Hi, I am using it on my 2700x streaming dedicated pc. I bought the app. But when I add it as video source, I start skipping frames.

Hi how do u Connect a mix to obs the sound

[@rmjaln]

Connecting via NDI into VMix over wifi with iphone. Quality of video is terrible. What adapters are best to connect iphone (lightning) to Ethernet and get best transfer speed? Not using audio so more interested in display quality

[@ScottFichter]

Using USB has great bandwidth to allow for very low delays.

[@rmjaln]

@@ScottFichter Scott thanks for that. Have seen Belkin make an Ethernet adapter to lightning so was wondering if the all in one is just as good.

[@rmjaln]

@@ScottFichter Hey Scott Sorry what adapters do i need to connect my iPhone 8 so I am not using WiFi ? Is it a lightning to Ethernet adapter ?

6:53 - connect iVCam to OBS

[@MalikSplash]

What do you do when your face cam is lagging in your recordings

[@ScottFichter]

Lag is a tough one because there are several issues that can cause it. One is to make sure you not using wifi or NDI. Then lower you bit rate in OBS. Also lower you screen resolution in OBS. I need to make a video about the issue. Thanks for reminding me.

[@yugo3581]

Is it safe to use will I not get hacked ?

[@mygrains5013]

Only problem I'm having is I can't use my front camera, face-cam works but my front camera looks WAY better. When I try switching to my front cam IVCam disconnects. That and, when I am using my face cam it constalntly disconnects and reconnects.

Does this work on Mac?

[@sarys73]

Problem I has it that OBS only runs the phone at 25fps, whereas the phone is set to 60fps, and it actually runs 60fps when I use it outsideOBS. Any suggestions?

[@DavidChojnackiII]

Thanks for this, very well put together. Could you work out a banana voicemeter setup please?

[@ScottFichter]

I will and believe me when I tell you I understand your frustration with the software. It is DAMN confusing. I use Banana. I love your channel image man.

[@HelloMyFriend_]

What is banana and what does it do with VoiceMeeter?

[@dougruemiles1554]

Which one works with windows? In Microsoft store there is no ivcam

[@bonniethomas6950]

Ok, here's a recurring problem ... my phone gets hot with use of the IVCam, and I also have connectivity issues between the phone and the desktop. I've troubleshot the wifi issues, and I use a USB cable. How do i get around this without have to reboot my computer all the time?
