Thank you for your video! I have looked at so many other videos who rush through the process and left me confused. You walked through each step and helped me to understand my previous errors. After this video, I was finally able to access my Facebook live and see the footage going from my camera, through my ATEM and into my computer on my live feed! Going to look at some of your other videos for Lower 3rds and live switching on multiple devices. God bless and keep up the great work on your videos!

Phenomenal explanation of both the ATEM and streaming to OBS / settings. Awesome job!

Your videos are always tremendously helpful and professional. I always enjoy your content and really appreciate you taking the time to do these.

Thank you very much for this excellent explanation. I was having an audio connection issue with Rødecaster Pro and Atem Mini Pro which was due to having the mic input on "mic" rather than "line" - changed it as you instructed and now it's working perfectly. I output audio via monitor output on the Rødecaster Pro and input to Atem Mini Pro through mic 1 input with a suitable cable as you demonstrate. Thanks again.

You are blessing my church. Thank you and I praise God for your videos!

LOVE your videos. Your explanations are super concise. Great job!

Well explained... looking forward to see more of your videos, letting us know your experience with the mini. Thanks

Looking forward to your other videos using this product. I am going to attempt to get one soon and it looks like a great value.

Thank you so much. You answered some questions that I've had plus helped me get over the hump with actually being able to use OBS. I'll be trying it on Sunday. Great Video and I've hit the Subscribe button.

Your videos are so helpful for livestream. Out of the countless videos I watch, yours seem the most strait forward. Thank you for making your tutorials so east to follow, these have been great!

I got it! My output in was set to 60 fps but with 30 it got a whole lot better! Thanks for the great videos you make now I need looking into the rest so I don't miss anything! Cheers!

Keep the content rolling. Thanks for this pivotal info

Hope the multi camera video come soon!!!! Really looking forward to it!

you are the best STEVEN!!! GOD BLESS YOU!

the best atem mini tutorial i have seen. Thank you.

So far i am happy with Atem Mini. just picked it up today and started testing it. I like it better than the elgato Hd60s. I guess price makes a difference

Good stuff bro, thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Thank you brother! Very helpful, I’m in the process of church streaming

Thanks for your videos! They are amazing. I just tried to follow your OBS setup and the look and menus have changed totally. The part of 'properties for atem mini' and so on. New Atem mini Pro is announced. To late for me I received my Mini today. Keep up the speed please

This is an excellent explanation, even I get it.

Absolutely great information

Just for clarification's sake, the ATEM Mini uses usb-c not lightning. So the cable you used is usb-c to usb-a cable to connect to your pc. Awesome video. Can't wait to get mine.

Thank you for this video as it has been very helpful. We are looking at buying a designated apple computer to be able to process the online streaming on a weekly basis. What specifications from do you recommend to get optimal streaming on a limited budget. Would a basic MacBook be adequate??

Excellent video, thanks.

Excellent video. Thanks so much.

Great training! Are you using the same PC for running the ATEM switching software and for live streaming? Just wondering how we will get the best results, two pcs or one. Thank you

Thanks for this!

thank you! super helpful

Very good tutorial. thanks

Tnx man, direct to center.

Hi ! Thanks for the video, do u know the maximum live streaming limit in terms of duration in Facebook? Cheers By the way using isn’t obs darkening the live stream ?

You have been my go to person for livestreaming production. Will there be audio synch problems if you use the audio inputs on the atem mini? There is a few frames delay using hdmi output. If the audio don't go through the hdmi cable and you use the audio in on the atem mini will it be out of synch? Thanks

perfect explanation

Best yet!!!

Hey, did you ever do part 4 of this series (ATEM mini and overlaying lyrics and graphics). I don't see it on your home page. Thanks for the great videos!

genius.. both mr.ballast and atem

Hi; I saw the computer on Amazon but what graphic card did you used, the one that came with the PC or you installed another?

Thank you very much sir very very useful information

Hi, I'm looking to setup live stream for my second church. The last equipment configuration you recommended around 1 year ago had an ATA UTAP HDMI USB 3.0 and Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 USB Audio Interface, does this ATEM Mini take the place of these two pieces of equipment? Just wondering because both the UTAP and the Focusrite Audio Interface are currently unavailable. Would we now just need the Atem Mini, USB-c cable, Canon R800 Camera (also currently unavailable), tripod, and computer to live stream at church? Mics are coming through our sound board with xls cable. blessings and thanks for guidance

just subcribed to you're channel . Great 👍 job

Very much enjoying your tutorials. Any updates on when the other tutorials about running lyrics from computer to Mini? thanks

Great work. I think the ATEM Mini is good enough for me. However in Brazil i can buy the ATEM Television Studio HD for 50% more. Do you think that is worthy or is too much resources and features?

You sir should get a special place in heaven!! Thanks for this!!

do I need necessarily OBS? for youtube...? Anyway thanks for the tips!

What specifications your computer has for streaming ? Can i use a laptop? Please give me a recommendation. Thank you

great tutorial thk you can i connect my gopro from mini hdmi out to hdmi in direct with out capture card. ?

thanks for sharing and helping the streaming world ... i have a canon xl2 camera and i was wondering if you can recommend a bnc to hdmi converter is so many of them .wich one is good for this camera .thanks

Thank you

multiviewer available on Atem Mini switcher?and only HDMI inputs or SDI input

1. What should the Internet specs be for live streaming. Do you have a video that covers live streaming and recording at the same time in case the live stream stops for some reason?

Great info

Hi sir, thank you so much for all the tutorials you are helping us with :) i have a question if u can help me, So i am about to live stream soccer games here using 3 camcorders (HD) using ATEM MINI + OBS and i want to record it too while live streaming. * What PC specifications you recommend for that? it will be great if i can use it for Designing and Video editing (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, After Effects, and Premier) thank you again in advance

Thanks for providing us with great tutorials. Please am a slingstudio user with little knowledge about its integration and connectivity with OBS and other softwares Can you please do a tutorial about it since know one is doing it. Thanks

If you could buy the Rolad HD video switcher would you still buy the ATEM mini

Thank you for your time and posting this video and information. I was wondering is there a way to share my IP address and have someone Remotely from a different location control the graphic overlays for example at a different location. I’m currently working on a live stream show and I would like to have someone else adding titles to the through the software and using my IP address while I am switching video inputs? if not is there a way that I can share my IP address locally to someone with my same network and have them do the graphics? I hope my question make sense

Excellent info, I am shopping for a simple to operate church livestream system - I am using OBS and 4 iphones now via wireless NDI, way too much for my ushers to run someday without a tech crew (me n kids). Do you have anything dumb simple to turn on, get on a livestream and leave running? I was pondering a security camera system into OBS, I have audio from a cabinet/mic system already.

First of all, AWESOME videos. The step by step is SO helpful when we don't have video techs. Thanks. Second, I have a question regarding the ATEM TV Studio HD and the Vixia R800. We can't seem to get an image with the Vixia but we do with a cheaper camera that we can't use because we can't clean the screen and out Canon T6. Any ideas? I would assume that the scaler should make the adjustment but out of the 3 camera's, the Vixia was going to be a staple in our Live Stream set up. Any help would be appreciated and again, thank you for the help and for the Kingdom work.

Hi. A question on the Facebook part. I created a Facebook page dedicated to just streaming but for some reason, it doesn't allow me to find a stream key and I have to use my personal page to find one. Is there an activation for my new Facebook page to show the live key on my new page. Doug.

I realize you recommend Canon cameras but I have a JVC GY-HM250 and I cannot get the video image to appear on my computer after plugging it into the Atem mini. However, I can plug it into a tv and the video shows up. Any suggestions?

Sir pls advice which usb cable from atem mini to computer?

For using a mirrorless/DSLR camera in 1080p mode at 30fps to do Zoom conferences: Do you know how the video quality of the Blackmagic ATEM Mini compares to the Magewell Capture HDMI Gen 12 and/or the Elgato Cam Link? If I want to minimize latency, am I better off getting an internal computer card like the Magewell Pro Capture HDMI Card? I heard complaints about certain capture cards that use some form of jpeg compression that reduces the video image quality. Does that really matter? Does a device using USB 2.0 vs USB 3.0 make any difference in latency? (I know the Blackmagic ATEM Mini is a switcher with extra features, but at this temporary point, I'm just trying to understand differences in latency and video quality for each device using 1 mirrorless/DSLR camera.) Thanks.

I’m having issues going from pro tools and being able to hear any output. I’m using Dante from GLD80. Help?

@9:56 Are we supposed to select the USB port as the camera selection? Great video explanation, well done!

Hey! Just found your channel today, I'm one of the technicians at our church and we're looking into streaming also. Was wondering if I could use this mini in conjunction to our current Atem Production Studio 4k 8 channel? Or is it better/cheaper to get the Atem USB webcam controller?

How loud is the cooling-fan of this switcher? I have a Roland V-1HD and it is so loud that it is almost unusable....

Need your help.Our two televisions in the atrium of our church are being fed by coax (rg58) from an old video camera.We are installing a new permanent camera that will be fed into cam2 of the item switcher.I would like to use the output of the item mini switcher's "HDMI OUT"to feed the televisions in the atrium.Can I use the Blackmagic HDMI to SDI converter with power supply?The output of the converter would require BNC to F adapters. Will the televisions accept video out of the converter and adapters? Also in the software setup menu of the switcher,would I use PROGRAM instead of PROGRAM PREVIEW or PREVIEW CAMERA ? Many thanks for your outstanding videos.I am just getting started with these devices.

Steven, please teal how i can get sound from behringer x32 to my pc notebook, on obs program for live streaming

Awesome Video...Do you think the ATEM mini can be modified to go to wireless camera setup? Would be nice to see a video on that topic.

Hi there!! Thank you for the video!! Quick question, Is it possible to connect a wireless video transmitter to the ATEM, because I want one camera wireless??

Can I use mars hollyland to very old sony video cameras?

I have issue ..even after connecting ethernet and copy pasting streaming key to atem software... It doesn't give feed to to facebook and on air keep on blinking... Please help

Steve, I am using a Panasonic WFX991 camera with a Rode microphone plugged into camera mike input. Hooked up the hdmi cable to Atem Mini and sending signal to OBS. While testing audio I was getting a big audio delay. What would cause this?

Great video, thanks for posting. I have a very basic beginners question. Up until now I have been using web cams and NDI for camera feeds with OBS, but I want to progress to live event productions now. So im looking to connect DLSRs or Camcorders via HDMI to my computer to then stream a live event via OBS to Facebook as with your video. Up until now I have been using OBS to create scenes and switch between them, with animated intro scenes and title overlays. Just wondering why it is better to use something like a the ATEM mini instead of just using OBS to switch scenes as I have been? I assume its a number of reasons lol. 1. you need something to connect the HDMI cables to your computer, the mini does that?. 2. The buttons on the mini are more intuitive than clicking through scenes in OBS?

My obs sometimes crash during streaming. How to fix this..thanks.

Thanks for your videos on using the ATEM mini and OBS! They have been very helpful as we are first time streamers. We are having a problem and I hope you can point me in the right direction. The issues is during our broadcast to Facebook live our audio stops. I believe something is happening between the ATEM software and OBS. I know its not our soundboard or the ATEM because we are using the video out on the ATEM to feed a TV in the church lobby. To make the issue worse it does not happen every week, just when it decides to. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Hi there Steven. Greetings and blessings from Portugal. We have a question if you could help us. In our small (for now) church in Porto, Portugal, we just recently started to stream liveI our services online via Facebook. Due to lack of funds to buy a dedicated decent camera (so far), we are using an iPad Pro 12.9 (3rd Gen 2019) to live stream the services. We figured the video and sound quality would be much better than using a smartphone to stream. With the help of a small sound interface - Roland Rubix 22 - connected to the iPad, the sound is turning out OK (we just need to be careful with some possible peak distortions that sometimes happen). The problem is the VIDEO. Honestly we are not too happy with the video quality. It's not even HD quality. When we download the video from Facebook to upload it on our new KZfaq channel, it has to be downloaded in SD format. The lighting is good, the internet wifi quality is decent (5G - 100Mbps upload) so that's not the problem. The iPad video record settings are 1080p HD - 60 fps. Should we set it higher? For instance, 4K - 60 fps? Or is it Facebook live that doesn't allow better picture quality? I understand you know a lot about streaming. Could you give us some ideas? - I leave you here our live video from today for you to have an idea of what's coming out: facebook.com/idcidade/videos/236138000928701/ Thanks Steven for your help. Unlimited Blessings to you, your family and ministry. (Eph 3:20) Paulo Batista Igreja da Cidade (City Church - Porto)

Can i use OBS and ZOOM at the same time using the USB as the source

Do you have a recommended live streaming PC configuration to handle the encoding with this configuration (ATEM Mini and OBS)? Also, most of my live streams at church would be wired. However, we do have a few outdoor events where I’m not able to have a wired connection. Do you have a suggested wireless configuration to continue our live streaming of those events?

Thanks a lot for a great video! How much latency will you experience when streaming with the Atem mini to Facebook via a stream key?

How can I add lower thirds or lyrics with Atem mini?

Does it work with Ecamm live as opposed to OBS?

Do I need a good graphics card for this?

Hi brother! I love your videos man they are so helpful! I have a quick question for you. I purchased the Canon VIXIA HF R800 Camcorder that you recommended and I think its a great camera but I'm having a problem with the audio. No matter what signal I send, the camera seems to be adding some kind of compression to the audio and its driving me crazy! I'm sending a line level mix to the camera and I even have a direct box that can remove up to -50db but the problem is still occurring. Is there a way to turn off the compression on the Canon HF R800? Thank you so much for your help. - Devin

I'm on a Mac, but my properties window when adding the source does not have the options that yours does. Is there an updated way to select the mini controls for the stream?

Thanks for your video. May know the Internet connection is it connect to my pc?

Is there a device or software you recommend to hear what your audio is that is going live? Right now I am just listening to the live stream with a headset connected to my phone....just got my Atem mini and love it by the way thanks for the advice!

I have a Zoom F6, can I connect it to one of the 3.5mm jacks via a line jack? I would like to connect 4 Lav mics to the sound recorder.

The only thing it doesn't do is video conversion. Can it be combined with something like the AJA U-Tap to take the processing load off the computer?

I love your work man! I’m wondering if it’s possible to use a thunderbolt 3 to USB type c cable male to male. So the cable out from the mini USB type c can connect to my laptops thunderbolt 3 transferring more data better quality picture? Is that possible?

Great Video Balast, I am a DJ can used this device with My Mixer USB with my Pioneer DJ let me know.

on the R800, is there a charger cord to keep the camera plugged in for the service? would the battery life last? we have 2 services.

Thank you for your videos. Have a couple questions: 1) Do you have another camera recommendation similar to the one in the description for the Atem Mini Pro? That particular one has a long wait time for shipment. Just need a budget friendly camera. I purchased one from Amazon that wasn't name brand and all I get is a green and pink screen no matter what resolution or frame rate option I choose. Oddly, it's only in port 1. Ports 2-4 has good pic. 2) Need a mini PC or laptop for my portable live streaming setup. Have you proven any to be solid.

Can you do this off a macbook pro ? without the suggested amazon coumpter link?

Hey! do you think it's better the elgato cam link or the atem mini? I make single camera recordings through Obs. But I have to attach the microphone to my pc, so unfortunately I can't monitor the audio. Using the atem mini instead, maybe I could attach the microphone there ?

Can you point me to a video you have that shows how to stream to KZfaq with a static URL so that I can place a live stream page on my website so that when I go live for worship it streams the KZfaq stream on that page?

Hi Steven, thank you for your video , my question is what is the USB-C used for ? is it for internet connection or is it taking video out of the mini to OBS? what about the HDMI out ? Thank you

I am working with Mediashout 6 for my media computer and I have the Atem mini with OBS on a separate computer. I am not getting anything from Mediashout into the mini. Did you mention that the settings for resolution must be 1080p for both the computer and the mini? Also do I understand that the mini hooks via HDMI directly into media computer for lower thirds, etc.?

Lovely
