For those who hate the lag the NDI provides I just made a tutorial highlighting how to use iVCam. It's a great solution because it uses USB instead of wireless tech. czcams.com/video/CjORZSzIlfE/video.html
Scott Fichter Wow you actually replied, yeah Iriun is very good it’s free, and it works for iPad and iPhone it’s just a great app and it even works on my iPad Air 2.
I’ve just been plugging in my iPhone with a USB cable, opening a QuickTime new movie recording, and setting the source as my phone. On the phone, I open up Filmic Pro and turn off the UI. The quality is amazing and lag-free, but isn’t wireless and is MacOS-only. It’s a good alternative if you just want a face-cam.
Hi TokyoXtreme, do I need Filmic Pro to allow Quicktime to choose my iPhone as a source? This option sounds perfect but I can't seem to get so far with it. D:
You can actually use IP Webcam in OBS without a plugin as well. Once you have the IP Webcam app open and started, enter its IP and port as listed in the app into the web browser of your computer. A control page will open. Open the full screen page which shows only the video page. Then copy that link and paste it into a "browser" input object in OBS.
This is great, and works!!! Thank you. However, I am using the IP webcam app on my cell phone, but audio from the audio interface connected to my computer, for live singing streaming purposes, and there is a delay. Any way to sync visual with the audio? Thank you in advance for any help.
"Once you have the IP Webcam app open and started, enter its IP and port as listed in the app into the web browser of your computer. A control page will open." That's where i could get to, then I'm stuck.. Don't quite understand the " Open the full screen page which shows only the video page" part.. Help?
Just came back to thank you Scott for the link for app for Android phones. I got mine going in OBS and works really well on the alternative app. IP Webcam really works.
Can you share how did you make it appear in OBS? I have a NewTek plugin and IP Camera on my droid phone, but what do I do to make them connect? This is the first time I do it, so it might be something obvious, but can't see what it is...
I literally did what you introduced with. 😤 Bought the Logitech cam and realized my Note 9 can probably do the same or better. Thank you for this vid.😅
Hello creator! The following is a list of other programs that may do a better job at this task. I've scanned all 600 of my comments and mined out those programs for you. Yes, I will be creating tutorials for them all. (1) EPOCCam for iOS apps.apple.com/us/app/epoccam-multicam/id766396205 (2) iVCam www.e2esoft.com/ivcam/ (3) Android AirDroid www.airdroid.com/ (4) MAC and PC EpoCam apps.apple.com/us/app/epoccam-webcam-for-mac-and-pc/id449133483 (5) Android Live Droid App play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dreamdroid.livedroid&hl=en_US (6) www.kinoni.com/
Setup was easy from the OBS NDI page - thanks for the video that showed the steps (I would have hesitated on the "this folder already exists" warning if you hadn't mentioned in!). I used the free EPOCCam on iOS - gave it a test run and liked it so much I got the paid version for $7.99, which includes green-screen, LED-Light control, several options for bit rate, size, etc. Now I can freely walk around the house (and yard mostly!) and stream/record. Thanks for the video!!
I found this video trying to start a budget stream, and let me tell you, that this video is worth way more than people believe. Not only does the android IP webcam app work in obs it works in the elgato stream software as well. Using the same exact principle. I just did my first 2 hour stream with zero issues besides the cpu being a 4 core and the gpu on the very low end of the spectrum, it was not bad at all! Thanks for this piece of gold!
The one issue i have with using the phone as an IP webcam is the obvious delay and lip sync issue for live usage. I have android and I use droid cam and connect via usb which has no latency what so ever. It is Free. You do have to jump through some hoops with your phone to let the camera pipe out via usb, but if you follow their instructions precisely, it works terrific. my old galaxy s6 is now a permanent webcam. I'd love to see you check that out and see if you like it! Then of course we look forward to another video. Thanks!
Amazing tip and advice my friend.... always have something to learn! Happy to spend time at your channel today... its amazing these days phones are replacing so many different pieces of equipment... technology is amazing.. it really worked so well... thanks for sharing your expertise...
Nice Tut. Been using NDI tools for months with Zoom and OBS. Just an FYI: You don't need the OBS plugin. Just run the Free NDI tools and add the device (iPad, iPhone, etc) and add in OBS the Newtek item. Works fine without the OBS add-in. The benefit of the free NDI tools is it works with any other online tool like Zoom directly.
I followed all the steps thoroughly but when I create the scene with NDI source, the 1st dropdown is blank.. there's no source where I can select my Android phone cam. Please help
For Android, a pretty stable one is Iruin 4k Webcam app. It has a companion app that runs on a Mac (not sure about Windows, but it's likely). It allows me to use my phone as an input video in OBS, Zoom, and other apps on my Mac. :) And it's free.
Hi Sir! After installing all did you show (Ndi plugin Obs, IP camera for iPhone , tool menu set for NDI output setting...) Then when I add NDi source, cannot found the Ndi cam in Source Name. May you show me How to fix it. Thank you.
Scott Fichter it’s probably sold out in the store! Webcams are in crazy demand now. Using the iPhone is such an awesome idea! The cam is so great in the iPhone as well. Cheers
Scott Fichter want to part with one? I’m a psychologist and need to start offering telehealth and my laptop cam looks horrible ha. My iPhone looks great but concerned about lag.
@@slashtrio Skiba, I understand your concern but lat is SUPER easy to fix in post production with your none linear editor. Do you have one? I'm very happy with Davinci Resolve.
Scott, I don't think you need to turn on the NDI settings in the Tools drop-down. That's only if you want to use that OBS program as a source (output). Just installing the plug-in automatically adds the ability to receive an NDI stream over the network. (Clue: That 'NDI Source' will be in the sources menu as soon as you have the plug-in installed. Remember the 'Restarts' everyone! and yes it must be the same network.) FYI: I also found that using OBS as a source on another PC over a wi-fi network was problematic. Plugged in the ethernet cable, rebooted everything and it worked fine.
Scott- I been through google and CZcams and you have an amazing way of doing this OBS video’s. If i can’t do it physically myself, than I’m not something wrong with me... lol...
I use the IP Webcam app for Android. This is very secure and does not distribute data across the world to anywhere else, as many others do. In OBS I use the source 'Browser' and enter as URL the IP and port number plus (.../video) given by the IP Webcam app.
I have done everything in the video, and my obs studio doesn't recognize my NDI on my iPhone and i can get them to hook up. Do you know of any possible fixes or any suggestions for fixing it, would be very appreciated thank you.
I'm sorry! I couldn't been connected with the android app... How the smartphone is connected finally with this app? Does it need a USB cable in a USB connector on the PC to get connected? Because in the "Source name", there is not the name of my smartphone I placed in scene (e.g. Xiaomi) and nothing it appears. All others are OK according to your instructions. So, I cannot be connected. Any idea how to make it? Please a helping hand...
I did this with IVCam which was good but resource hungry. I ended up using an old iPhone 6 with a cracked screen and made a great second camera and very mobile. When recording messages would come in and screen stops which was a nightmare on my main iPhone. Also Skype app creates a free NDI input if interviewing, just make the phone a meeting participant.
I have followed your steps exactly as you were doing them. OBS shows the plugin but it does NOT show my iPhone as an option in the camera sources. What am i doing wrong?
Is this too taxing on your WiFi? I understand it connects through WiFi via router but does it consume internet bandwidth or will this bandwidth be just from your router without slowing down your internet? Thanks in advance.
@@ScottFichter Yeah. Most of the stores here in Bangladesh ran out. Ordered in 3 different stores and finally one delivered. Took them over a week due to lockdown.
Great stuff, but I was not able to connect. I have an android and tried the IP cam, but it performed very badly. The owner of the site did not respond to my question either. The New Tek NDI did not show up on play store. Any other suggestions?
If you are looking for the absolute best quality and free, Iriun works up to 4K for free without any watermarks. I used it over usb on android and it works perfectly for zoom and OBS with actual 4K.
YES! Do you like the lighting? If you look me up on Instagram I made a video about it. I use nine led lights. Twp face lights and 7 led colored lights.
Howdy Scott! I found another app that costs less and does a little more. It's AndroidX Pro. It costs $4.99 plus text. Turns your camera into a Wifi or USB enabled camera. There is a client software you need to add to you computer. It has 4.5 stars on the Google Play Store. Just thought I'd share.
Hi Scott! I'm having troubles with my Virtual Camera on OBS. My chrome settings have OBS Virtual Camera as its default camera but in different websites, it won't let me switch to it and the option is grayed out (OBS is running and not minimized), what should I do?
Thank you Scott... i just success installed NDI-HX Camera Apps for iPhone with OBS Studio ( 25.0.4), NDI Plugin for OBS Studio (4.8) with NDI 4 Runtime- System is running after restart computer with Window 10.
It worked, but the video was not that great compared to my webcam unfortunately. Do I need to plug the iphone into the PC for better bandwidth on the connection? Thanks for good videos!
When my trusty old Tascam audio interface broke recently I nearly threw away my, even older, m-audio USB audiophile interface as well. You know why? Answer is, I didn't follow the, very detailed, instructions FULLY. They're there for a reason and setups involving multiple apps/devices WILL almost invariably be more complicated than just say streaming to FB live from your iPhone direct when it's all in-house.
For Android I've been using iVCam and like it, you can adjust exposure and white balance and lock them down (which I prefer). I upgraded to pro to remove their logo and I think it was $7. But do you know of a phone app that has more control and features like my built in camera app has....things like stabilization, color saturation, all that kind of stuff??
Great video. Just one question for ya. Do I need the original Obs software installed on my computer before I download and install the NDI one you show in this video?
Droid Cam also does the same sort of thing but also has some ability to modify the incoming stream (in the paid version, worth having for about 5 bucks). Uses either USB or WiFi. Phone must be in developer mode with USB debug on. Did not work on an older Galaxy S4 (Android 5, pix froze) but was fine on my new phone and Galaxy tablet.
I tried DroidCAM as well, but found that it seems to compress the video stream or something. The quality seems significantly more blurry than if I used IP Webcam. I had the Pro version too, so it wasn't because I was using the free version.
Been using IP camera for a while now .. very simple to set up, works beautifully but keep in mind EVERYTHING depends on your upload speed. The higher your bandwidth the better your stream will look. #makeVideosPPL
Pete Sanchez here the fix if you care too work on it. Read through. Guy named Martin figured it out. obsproject.com/forum/threads/obs-ndi-crashes-upon-selecting-source-mac-high-sierra.117404/
Hi everyone, NDI has been removed from the playstore so unfortunately this does not work for me anymore. I found Iriun 4k at the play store for my Samsung Note 10 plus and you can download the Win/Mac Operating system aplication. I have a macbook book pro and this app WORKS flawlessly with an android phone and a macbook book pro I own!!! i said try it.. I am sure it works on windows too. it is free to try... It did worked for me so I paid the pro version $4.99 I am able to use it for ZOOM school meetings. you are welcome!
With partial or full those have to do with the picture color settings partial is best full washes out the image too much I always choose partial it makes the black actually black 🤷🏻♂️👍🏼✌🏼
Amazing Video, I have android and I downloaded die IP Webcam, and then I just added the website wich my Phone-Camera was streaming to. Seems like the easiest solution to me. Has anybody thoughts about that?
hey scott, i installed the obs-ndi 4.9.0 on my win7 laptop. it automatically asks for update. now i was able to successfully add obs-ndi to my laptop and yes i checked tools to see it there. but as soon as i went to update per obs updater requests...... my laptop has been crashing all night! is there anyway to uninstall the update? thans for any help
Scott, thank you for your time. I’d like to get this to work (for my $10). I got the downloads and through all the steps but no picture transfer. A difference came at the end where I got “DESKTOP MOPMBP9 (OBS) or DESKTOP MOPMBP9 (OBS Preview) in the Properties foot NDI Source screen. I’m not getting a transfer. Any Ideas?
The good news: The product works for both OBS and iPhone. Bad news: The iPhone app overheats my iPhone to the point that it gives me a Temperature Overheat Screen and freezes until it cools down. Tried it twice with same results. Curious if others had similar issues.
My phone gets REALLY hot but I haven't had it overheat yet. Then again I'm only ever streaming for an hour long fitness class. It also hogs the power so my phone must be plugged in or it goes to low power mode and stops the stream.
Great video Scott! Thank you! Question: Is there a way to include my iphone screen as a scene source? For example, my friend was FaceTiming me from a parade, and I wanted to include that conversation from my phone as part of my live stream. Is this possible?
Yes, the objective is to get your phone screen to show up on your computer and then you would bring that computer screen into OBS. Take a look at this software www.airsquirrels.com/reflector. You connect your phone with USB and the phone's screen shows up on the computer. Talk to you later.
Hey Bud, I followed your instructions as is however when I click on the Source name I do not see the iphone app listed. any idea what I am doing wrong?
Scott Fichter When I first installed the NDI and then looked for it in OBS, I didn’t see my camera as well. Make sure you are on the same network as your computer.
I was having the same issue. When I restarted the program, it popped up. The issue I am having now is when I hit ok for the phone, the program shuts down.
Yes I certainly enjoyed that & I found it very entertaining & engaging, & super fun to watch..hopefully if download this file for windows 10, Some one who knows there tech stuff ,
Hi Scott, HELP please. Can you please help me do this in STREAMLABS OBS? or will it only work with OBS...i have done everything as you said re downloads and i am using IP WEBCAM PRO...hope you can help ...tania and the furbabies too xoxo
Scott, I really have been enjoying your OBS tutorials. I am using OBS to record services at my church to burn to DVD for our internet challenged shut-ins. Right now. I am switching between static web cams, and I've been watching your vid's about using cell phones. This led to my question... How can I connect from ZY Play so I can use a Zhiyun Smooth 4 gimble so the steady cam feature eliminates the "motion-sickness" inducing video of the hand held? Pastor Derek Cromwell
Pastor Cromwell I honestly don't know how to answer your question. I don't have ZY Play, and I don't have a Zhiyn Smooth 4 gimble. You honor me with the question but I'm only a mortal soul.
@@ScottFichter Thanks for the quick reply. It seems like a marriage made in.... well, you got the idea. It just seems a great way to add a wireless steady cam, if I can just figure it out. Thanks again. You have made my life a lot less complicated, thanks to your channel!
@@ScottFichter I really like that you're watching and replying this often. It makes watching you even more fun! Quick question ... I saw you tweaking your background colors (living room) in one video. Are you using a green screen or is there a trick to using a photo as a backdrop in OBS that I haven't seen yet? I'm a musician that wants to live stream a concert. My studio is a small bedroom that I will light up. There's no room for a green screen but I'd love to have something "nice" behind me, anything but a door! LOL!!! Maybe you've covered this in a video that I haven't seen? Thanks Scott! :)
IP cam basically sets up a server you remote into via your browser and you can control it all from there. Things like switching to the front camera, zoom, manual macro etc. It'll also give you the addresses you simply copy paste into OBS via "Media Source" It's actually very easy if you're somewhat familiar with basic stuff like "192.168.0.1" kinda stuff. I recommend setting the video quality to 20-50%, never 100% as that's very very very bandwidth hungry, and in my opinion pointless as 20-50% looks just fine. (100% I was seeing 80+ Mbps when you should only need 20Mbps or below)
For those who hate the lag the NDI provides I just made a tutorial highlighting how to use iVCam. It's a great solution because it uses USB instead of wireless tech. czcams.com/video/CjORZSzIlfE/video.html

Fantastic, Thanks TokyoXtreme I'm going to look into this. Hmm. I need to find a solution that is Mac and PC
TokyoXtreme ii
TokyoXtreme, I'm puzzled, are you saying that this workaround will let you use your iPhone as a source in OBS? (Albeit Mac and USB)

If you are looking for the absolute best quality and free, Iriun works up to 4K for free without any watermarks. I used it over usb on android and it works perfectly for zoom and OBS with actual 4K.
OUTSTANDING Jon! Thanks for the tip. I will look into this.
What type of lights you are using in your video background?
YES! Do you like the lighting? If you look me up on Instagram I made a video about it. I use nine led lights. Twp face lights and 7 led colored lights.
Howdy Scott! I found another app that costs less and does a little more. It's AndroidX Pro. It costs $4.99 plus text. Turns your camera into a Wifi or USB enabled camera. There is a client software you need to add to you computer. It has 4.5 stars on the Google Play Store. Just thought I'd share.
OUTSTANDING. Thanks Anthony. I will check it out for sure!
Would the same NDI utility for OBS on desktop connect with IP Webcam i that is used on Droid phone?
Hi Scott! I'm having troubles with my Virtual Camera on OBS. My chrome settings have OBS Virtual Camera as its default camera but in different websites, it won't let me switch to it and the option is grayed out (OBS is running and not minimized), what should I do?
Dorky, greyed out video is in most cases a video driver issue. Dig into understanding how to update your video drivers. That's my best guess.
I have a Samsung phone. I installed IP Webcam. I am using the browser source, but is not streaming audio... Any suggestions?
Thank you Scott... i just success installed NDI-HX Camera Apps for iPhone with OBS Studio ( 25.0.4), NDI Plugin for OBS Studio (4.8) with NDI 4 Runtime-
System is running after restart computer with Window 10.
NICE!
Excellent summary of the installation process my man! Especially the needed restart.
@@ScottFichter can install in MacBook?
Do you need iTunes on a Windows laptop if using an iPhone X for webcam or will the plug-in suffice?
Timely video. Great teacher. Thank you.
Thanks Drama! Best wishes to you sir. :)
I have use dashcam as a camera too.
Cool.
I'm trying to set it up, and it works until I try to open OBS. It says I need to install the OBS NDI Runtime Installer. Please help!
I'm pretty sure you need to install the runtime program on this page. github.com/Palakis/obs-ndi/releases. This is my best guess.
Thank you so much. You are awesome!!!!!!!!
Does not work... This was a waste of 6 frustrating hours trying to get this to be recognized in OBS Studio.
Sorry man, for some it works for other's it fails. I'm not sure why.
The NDI app is not available in my country... Any help?
I tried this and the delay is terrible, anyone know what's been done wrong? I think the MJPEG codec is the problem.
When I made the video I was not really in the livestream mindset.
any troubleshooting ideas - i have the ndi set up correct but it does not ready my phone
and yes it is both on the same network
It worked, but the video was not that great compared to my webcam unfortunately. Do I need to plug the iphone into the PC for better bandwidth on the connection? Thanks for good videos!
WIFI won't cut it for higher resolutions. USB will allow for data transfer.
I tried downloading Ndi plugin but every time I encountered with same failed error
When my trusty old Tascam audio interface broke recently I nearly threw away my, even older, m-audio USB audiophile interface as well. You know why? Answer is, I didn't follow the, very detailed, instructions FULLY. They're there for a reason and setups involving multiple apps/devices WILL almost invariably be more complicated than just say streaming to FB live from your iPhone direct when it's all in-house.
What if ur using a mobile gateway and hooking your phone to your wifi is redundant? Can u 4g stream the cam?
Jon, The lag will be pretty bad if you figure it out.
You mean specifically the cam lag from the phone eh?
Cause my stream doesnt lag at all 1080 60fps the whole time
Hello Scott.. Thanks for the information.. But I have a problem of audio... No sounds come up with... What to do? Can u help me pls..
David, I'm going to create several more videos that will discuss better options.
For Android I've been using iVCam and like it, you can adjust exposure and white balance and lock them down (which I prefer). I upgraded to pro to remove their logo and I think it was $7.
But do you know of a phone app that has more control and features like my built in camera app has....things like stabilization, color saturation, all that kind of stuff??
I do not.
Tks!
New sub!
Thank you too!
How about wanting to use webcan from laptop to connect to desktop for livestreaming?
The audio has a some latency with the phone camera as a source. Is there a fix for that?
We'll latency is best fixed in post production. It's a very easy fix.
Great video. Just one question for ya. Do I need the original Obs software installed on my computer before I download and install the NDI one you show in this video?
Droid Cam also does the same sort of thing but also has some ability to modify the incoming stream (in the paid version, worth having for about 5 bucks). Uses either USB or WiFi. Phone must be in developer mode with USB debug on. Did not work on an older Galaxy S4 (Android 5, pix froze) but was fine on my new phone and Galaxy tablet.
THANK YOU TIM! I will be investigating this app. Great post.
I tried DroidCAM as well, but found that it seems to compress the video stream or something. The quality seems significantly more blurry than if I used IP Webcam. I had the Pro version too, so it wasn't because I was using the free version.
Nbi uses gigabit connection so its best to use ethernet
Looks excellent. Thx!!!
You're welcome Robert. Stay strong brother.
Thank you so much for explaining this ,
I was looking for a tutorial so I could use my iPhone 6s as a webcam ,
New subscriber my friend
I installed it on my MacBook and on my iPhone 6s ,
But all I get is a black screen , very disappointed ☹️
You're super welcome
Good video and info. Thanks for posting.
You bet
Been using IP camera for a while now .. very simple to set up, works beautifully but keep in mind EVERYTHING depends on your upload speed. The higher your bandwidth the better your stream will look.
#makeVideosPPL
Thanks for the solid comment a2zme
How do you use the front cam instead of the back cam?
This is super cool
Glad you liked it Sure.
OBS crashes once I try and complete the set up and start the preview. On a Mac. Not sure if I should contact the OBS plug in developer or Sienna.
drumjocky yeah I had this problem with my Mac too, no problem with the pc.
Pete Sanchez here the fix if you care too work on it. Read through. Guy named Martin figured it out.

Try Wirecast , works like a charm
Yep, but damn that software is expensive.
Hi everyone, NDI has been removed from the playstore so unfortunately this does not work for me anymore. I found Iriun 4k at the play store for my Samsung Note 10 plus and you can download the Win/Mac Operating system aplication. I have a macbook book pro and this app WORKS flawlessly with an android phone and a macbook book pro I own!!! i said try it.. I am sure it works on windows too. it is free to try... It did worked for me so I paid the pro version $4.99 I am able to use it for ZOOM school meetings. you are welcome!
With partial or full those have to do with the picture color settings partial is best full washes out the image too much I always choose partial it makes the black actually black 🤷🏻♂️👍🏼✌🏼
Amazing Video, I have android and I downloaded die IP Webcam, and then I just added the website wich my Phone-Camera was streaming to. Seems like the easiest solution to me. Has anybody thoughts about that?
hey scott, i installed the obs-ndi 4.9.0 on my win7 laptop. it automatically asks for update. now i was able to successfully add obs-ndi to my laptop and yes i checked tools to see it there. but as soon as i went to update per obs updater requests...... my laptop has been crashing all night! is there anyway to uninstall the update? thans for any help
try these versions www.videohelp.com/software/Open-Broadcaster-Software/old-versions
Scott Fichter thanks so much, got the ndi to work! Used 4.7.0 with my win 7 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
You're a gem!
thanks for the video!
I used a free app called AirDroid and it works perfect with OBS!
What's it called so others can try what you tried.
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sand.airdroid
Scott, thank you for your time. I’d like to get this to work (for my $10). I got the downloads and through all the steps but no picture transfer. A difference came at the end where I got “DESKTOP MOPMBP9 (OBS) or DESKTOP MOPMBP9 (OBS Preview) in the Properties foot NDI Source screen. I’m not getting a transfer. Any Ideas?
same problem
The good news: The product works for both OBS and iPhone. Bad news: The iPhone app overheats my iPhone to the point that it gives me a Temperature Overheat Screen and freezes until it cools down. Tried it twice with same results. Curious if others had similar issues.
My phone gets REALLY hot but I haven't had it overheat yet. Then again I'm only ever streaming for an hour long fitness class. It also hogs the power so my phone must be plugged in or it goes to low power mode and stops the stream.
Great video Scott! Thank you! Question: Is there a way to include my iphone screen as a scene source? For example, my friend was FaceTiming me from a parade, and I wanted to include that conversation from my phone as part of my live stream. Is this possible?
Yes, the objective is to get your phone screen to show up on your computer and then you would bring that computer screen into OBS. Take a look at this software www.airsquirrels.com/reflector. You connect your phone with USB and the phone's screen shows up on the computer. Talk to you later.
Awesome thanks so much much appreciated.
Any time The Way. Best wishes.
Hey Bud, I followed your instructions as is however when I click on the Source name I do not see the iphone app listed. any idea what I am doing wrong?
Hey Neal, I don't have an answer for you just yet. I will begin to research this tomorrow.
Scott Fichter
When I first installed the NDI and then looked for it in OBS, I didn’t see my camera as well. Make sure you are on the same network as your computer.
I was having the same issue. When I restarted the program, it popped up. The issue I am having now is when I hit ok for the phone, the program shuts down.
Yes I certainly enjoyed that & I found it very entertaining & engaging, & super fun to watch..hopefully if download this file for windows 10,
Some one who knows there tech stuff ,
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi Scott, HELP please. Can you please help me do this in STREAMLABS OBS? or will it only work with OBS...i have done everything as you said re downloads and i am using IP WEBCAM PRO...hope you can help ...tania and the furbabies too xoxo
Hi Cats! I will look into it. Give me some time.
@@ScottFichter Bless you. Thanks a mill x 😍😎😆
i got serious delay on my output..my video is desync to my voice how to fix this :)
Scott,
I really have been enjoying your OBS tutorials. I am using OBS to record services at my church to burn to DVD for our internet challenged shut-ins.
Right now. I am switching between static web cams, and I've been watching your vid's about using cell phones. This led to my question...
How can I connect from ZY Play so I can use a Zhiyun Smooth 4 gimble so the steady cam feature eliminates the "motion-sickness" inducing video of the hand held?
Pastor Derek Cromwell
Pastor Cromwell I honestly don't know how to answer your question. I don't have ZY Play, and I don't have a Zhiyn Smooth 4 gimble. You honor me with the question but I'm only a mortal soul.
@@ScottFichter Thanks for the quick reply. It seems like a marriage made in.... well, you got the idea. It just seems a great way to add a wireless steady cam, if I can just figure it out.
Thanks again. You have made my life a lot less complicated, thanks to your channel!
Scott, at 4:37 and 7:23 ... you're killin' me bro! Just too funny but GREAT information as always. Thank you! :)
Chuck, when I watch some of my old stuff I laugh my ass off. I'm not kidding you. I need to do more of that stuff.
@@ScottFichter I really like that you're watching and replying this often. It makes watching you even more fun! Quick question ... I saw you tweaking your background colors (living room) in one video. Are you using a green screen or is there a trick to using a photo as a backdrop in OBS that I haven't seen yet? I'm a musician that wants to live stream a concert. My studio is a small bedroom that I will light up. There's no room for a green screen but I'd love to have something "nice" behind me, anything but a door! LOL!!! Maybe you've covered this in a video that I haven't seen? Thanks Scott! :)
@@ChuckWeirich Hey Chuck what you see in the background is 100% real lighting. I use 7 lights. I should make a video about it.
Great info Scott! New sub - thank you
Much thanks. I appreciate you.
Droid cam works just as good
How did you manage Matthew?
@@danbru1977 pretty good no problems at all
As in how did you configure? Simply inputting device IP?
IP cam basically sets up a server you remote into via your browser and you can control it all from there. Things like switching to the front camera, zoom, manual macro etc.
It'll also give you the addresses you simply copy paste into OBS via "Media Source"
It's actually very easy if you're somewhat familiar with basic stuff like "192.168.0.1" kinda stuff.
I recommend setting the video quality to 20-50%, never 100% as that's very very very bandwidth hungry, and in my opinion pointless as 20-50% looks just fine. (100% I was seeing 80+ Mbps when you should only need 20Mbps or below)
