Adding this to my content calendar right now... Thanks for the reminder and of course the support of the channel. Truly appreciated, hope there's more you find here equally as helpful.
The minute I saw adding an additional camera was available, I thought "Oh great, another intimidating new feature... Man, I hope Kirk does a video. If he explains it, I'll understand." Boom, that's exactly what happened. Thank you Kirk!
I just got a second ZVE-10 so I'm gonna use that as my second Camera and show my hands like you did. lol I have to make sure I get a manicure lol but yes I'm gonna use this
It’s a awesome feature to use for top down shots as you mentioned but also for a second camera angle as well. Patter interrupts are used in media all the time to hold the audiences attention. Thanks for the comment and support of the channel.
Oh wow Cherice that is so Awesome! Thank you so much for leaving a comment, this really made my day! Hope you find other helpful videos for live vide here on this channel.
Thanks for your feedback and support of the channel! Great point that I failed to mention in the video is that this is for Pro Subscribers... Thanks for that... There's always something.
Really enjoy watching your videos as I start on my streaming journey. May be worth adding in the video that this is only available for top tier right now. I have purchased the steam deck and working on getting it set up for my 3 cams. BTW enjoyed the stream deck video as well.
You're absolutely right, that was an oversight on my part. I said it in a previous video before the feature was released but I definitely needed to add that in here. Thanks for your feedback and support of the channel! Means a lot!
I was excited for this feature only to find out it's only available in the highest tier option (unless that has changed). For the money, I bought an ATEM Mini Pro instead since there was only about $30 difference.
As good as the feature is you're going to get far more functionality out of the ATEM Mini so that's probably not a bad move. I am on the highest Tier but that is because I do client shows to multiple destinations and we need them at 1080p.
@@kirkrnugent I suspected as much. I'd been wanting the ATEM Mini Pro for a while anyway. I appreciate what you do on your channel, I've learned quite a bit.
What a pity that there is no "switch" feature allowing the user to toggle between cameras, which is all the trend right now in podcasting. Wait! I spoke too soon, you just demonstrated that you can switch between two cameras on the solo camera layout! Great presentation!
So sorry for the delay in getting back to you in this comment. It's all about the lens and camera... I'm using a Sony A6400 and a Sigma 16mm lens. Also I record my RUclips videos with Ecamm Live Pro. Latest video on the channel walks through my RUclips video production process. Thank you for the comment and support of the channel.
Definitely a great addition but more for those looking for the option baked into the platform. Many alternative ways to do this and might even work better
Hey Kirk, great video! Had a question: we are trying to live stream an eclipse outdoors with a professional camera (Feed 1) while also live streaming simultaneous indoor interviews (Feed 2) while also occasionally switching the feed for the indoor interviews for playing virtual pre-recorded videos (Feed 3). Please let me know the best way to proceed with this, would apprecaite any help! Just subscribed
Oh wow I’m so sorry I missed this comment. I am using the YT Studio app to catch up on comments and realizing there are many I missed and yours is one if them. What you describe is possible. I’d use custom layouts to make it work and I’m sure you figured it all out by now.
Great video, very informative. I have a question, when recording only, does streamyard give a recorded file for each camera and a master file including the switches between cameras? Or just a master file?
So sorry I missed this comment. You get all of the above with StreamYard Recording - both individual cameras and the master file with switches and graphics. Individual camera recording are clean - no overlays included.
Hi Kirk, I run a live show from my model railway which I like to cover from different perspectives. I run through my Apple laptop and gave two webcams plugged into my laptop. I also use the laptop view for the chat line plus to get a personal view. In addition I invite my cellphone as an add on camera. Up to this point I open an additional session to allow me to have more than one camera but think this video might help. The other problem is my audio which might be a result of having a complicated set up. Any ideas? Thanks Charlie
Hey man thanks for the comment and support of the channel. Yea you can add two cameras from one machine now in StreamYard with no audio issues. If you need more (sounds like you do) then yes bring it in as a guest but be sure to mute the mic and turn the volume all the way down if its a mobile device. Hope that helps. Feel free to follow up with other questions
@@jefferydbrower thanks so much for the comment! This was recorded with a Sony a6400 and a Sigma 16mm Lens connected to my Mac using an Elgato 4k capture card and recorded in Ecamm Live Pro. I have links to everything in the description of the video.
Nice video thanks! I would like to know how you plug your microphone that sounds very well because mine doesn't sound so well like yours!!! Thank you for your help!!
Thanks so much for your comment, I share my full audio and lighting setup in this playlist - ruclips.net/p/PLRsWOqwRvmL3JjuMW1-n--cJCFahjeutY. Hope this gives you what you need.
Hi Seth sorry for the delay in responding, sometimes the Comment notifications don't come through. MEVO put out an update making it possible to use their cameras as a Webcam. Not all models received the update so check their site to see if the one you have got the update and if so you can just plug it in using USB and select it in StreamYard as your camera.
I’ve been trying to use to canon DLSR cameras but streamyard only detects one at a time. The only option I have is one Canon DSLR camera and my webcam. I see you have multiple dslr cameras in your drop down. How can I do the same?
Unfortunately Canon makes it very difficult with their older cameras to use them as a webcam for streaming with StreamYard. A lot of times it requires 3rd party software. In this video I had one canon and one Sony and the Sony is much easier to work with. I was only able to do one canon at a time like you. I’ve actually moved away from canon all together. Sorry I couldn’t be of more help.
Absolutely! In fact this is how my wife and I will do shows where her mic is plugged into the second port of the roadcaster pro My mic is plugged into the first port but we have those two cameras that are positioned to focus on each of us individually. So this is a great use of this feature.
Thanks for the comment and support of the channel. At the time I recorded this video the answer to your question is no BUT I'm happy to share at present the answer is yes. StreamYard has ISO video and audio recording so you get both program recording and clean recordings of each camera in the studio both for the host and guests.
@@kirkrnugent Thanks to your channel I'm becoming a real streamyard enthusiast. I've started streaming recently and I learned from you streamdeck use and started using GoXLR as well
I am going LIVE at an event where music will be played. I'd like to have a screen shot of the stage, me sitting with my guest and from my phone. Is this possible?
Absolutely as long as you use a Capture card or a Camera Switcher. Both of those allow you to connect to your computer USB and they show up as a WebCam which you can select in StreamYard.
If I wanted to use 3 webcams on a single streamyard session, what is the best way to power those webcams? Clearly I can't run them all from one computer as I would overwhelm the device with too much bandwidth. Is it possible to run 2 webcams (I use Brio) on a single computer without performance issues? Or should I go with one computer per webcam?
I've connected 5 webcams to one computer and it worked thought I needed a fairly powerful machine to pull it off. The video your commenting on highlights the built-in feature for adding one additional camera but I have two older ones and that method can be used to add multiple additional cameras. Those links are in the description of this video. Take a look and let me know if they answer the question. Thanks for your comment and support!
Thanks for your comment and support of the channel! You can use and Phone to stream but you'll be limited in functions features and quality. I don't recommend using a phone to livestream unless there is absolutely no other option.
‼️ How do you prevent your MacBook from overheating during a livestream? This just happened to me last night. I’m assuming your running from the MacBook Pro.
When you say overhear what do you mean? Are the fans kicking on? Or does it shutdown. If it is the fan issue a mic that doesn’t pick up the room can help to mitigate that. For the intel based MacBooks their really is no fix for the fans kicking in even when doing a Zoom that would happen to me but I’ve since upgraded my MacBook to the Apple Silicon version aka the M1 and M2 processors and have no life fan issues whatsoever.
@@kirkrnugent yes the computer shut down right in the middle of my livestream. I’m just testing out Streamyard as an alternative to switch streaming hosts but didn’t realize it would require so much pull on the MacBook. I do have a 2017 MBP so I was afraid that you’d say it’s time to upgrade 😭‼️ but I think it’s not able to keep up with the demand possibly.
Thanks for you comment and support of the channel! I assume your referring to an Incognito Chrome Browser Window or Tab, correct? Are you using StreamYard there? If so what would be the setup to show yourself and playing while teaching piano? What platform would the student be in?

El gato has an app, Camo is another app, you can use Continuity camera which is a feature in the latest MacOS and iOS. Several options out there to use your phone as a webcam. Thanks for the comment and feedback
Thanks for your comment and support of the channel. Using the method I cover in this video you can only add 1 additional camera. Using the other Method (link in the description) or equipment like an ATEM Mini or Ecamm Live Pro Virtual Camera you can definitely add 3 or more to your live show from one computer.
