Connect Wirecast and Zoom - Video 12

Zoom has become an industry standard for bringing people together for online video conferencing. Zoom is a powerful tool, but there are situations where you need more power and flexibility for the video you share. Using Wirecast with Zoom gives you access to all of Wirecast's features, including layers, graphics, virtual backgrounds, screen sharing, and transitions. To connect Wirecast to Zoom, you will need to use the Virtual Camera function.
Using Wirecast in a Zoom Meeting
In Wirecast, go to Virtual Camera Out under the Output dropdown menu. Be sure that Flip Video Horizontally is checked. If you would also like the audio from Wirecast to be a part of your Zoom meeting, be sure that Virtual Microphone is also checked. Then click Start. You may see a dialog box prompting you to install the Wirecast Virtual Camera. If so, simply follow the prompts.

Now open Zoom and start your meeting if you have not already started it. Find the camera icon at the bottom of the screen, click on the up arrow next to it and select Wirecast Virtual Camera. You can also click on Video settings if you wish to make any adjustments.

To use Wirecast audio, click on the up arrow next to the microphone icon at the bottom left of the screen and select Wirecast Virtual Microphone. You can also click Audio settings if you wish to test or adjust the audio settings.
Bringing a Zoom Meeting into Wirecast
It is also possible that you want to include a remote Zoom participant into Wirecast. To do this, you will take advantage of Wirecast's Screen Capture Option. Make sure Zoom is running, and your meeting is started. Next, add a new shot to the Main Shot List. Choose the Screen Capture category on the left and choose new screen capture.
In the Shot Manager Box, choose the Screen Capture Properties tab. In the dropdown menu next to Capture Type, select window. Then, next to select Window/Monitor, click Configure. For application, choose Zoom.us and for Window, choose Zoom meeting. To capture the audio on a Windows PC, be sure that the Capture System Audio checkbox is checked.
On Mac computers, the process of capturing audio from Zoom is more complicated. While it is simple to send virtual audio to Zoom, the return audio currently requires third-party software. Options like Black Hole and VB-Cable will allow you to send audio from Zoom and capture it as an audio capture source in Wirecast. Once your third-party software is installed and ready, simply choose the software's virtual destination as a speaker output in Zoom and then add it as a shot using the Audio Capture category and selecting the system device.

Tkanks for your video!

[@StreamGeeks]

Welcome!

[@jdaniel3333]

Thanks for this video, very helpful. Especially when you answer the 'why do it this way?' hypothetical questions to understand the key pros and cons.

[@thegameshowgame9107]

Holy Moly this is awesome!!! Just curious, i w this isn’t always an option, but why not just use rendezvous? I’ve heard it’s not the most stable but I’ve also heard there’s been big improvements made as well.

[@StreamGeeks]

You certainly can, they are similar but your right the Rendezvous product is integrated into Wirecast so that makes it much easier to setup

[@FatihVideographer]

Thanks for helping us to solve the puzzle ! I feel like i am getting closer to make it work. But i still can’t understand why we have to send the zoom audio back to zoom ? Wouldn’t that cause the people who talk in zoom to hear themselves with a little bit amount of delay while the participants hear everything twice ?

[@timpolster]

Thanks for your video. Do you add any delay to the video or audio? It looked like your lips were off when watching the Zoom feed. I do this with OBS and it seems there is always a delay with the audio which calls for adding delay to the video to match.

[@mchughalbum]

This is great .. but twist: How do I do this but from one computer (MacBook Pro with Zoom) to another (Wirecast on PC)?

[@Apple_Ryan]

Might be a longshot comment seeing as this is an old video.but im looking to go away from vmix and into wirecast cause of mac books.. is it possible to have bus outs that can run at the same time on wirecast.meaning i can run bus 1 to teams and bus 2 to zoom to have them hear seperate mixes like in vmix

[@MegaDenis1982]

Thanks a lot for your tutorials, I do understand that wirecast has its own virtual microphone, but, what if I do not want to use it, What will be the process to get it done with virtual cable A or B, thanks again.
