Hi, thank you, that was clearly explained! Just a question : for a two interview set up, will obvious need multiple cameras set up - is there an automated solution to switch or zoom in to the person talking (interviewer and interviewee) that you could recommend I look at? Thanks Leon

You forgot an important issue. You need to get a continuous endless steam of power to your camcorder while using it for live stream instead of depending on the battery. Otherwise you will have a boring task of charging a lot of batteries before each long live stream. Also you will need to interrupt the video live stream for changing the battery. And because the batteries will degrade in capacity by time then you will keep buying new batteries with no end. I think most of the $200-$500 camcorders from big names (Sony, Canon, .. etc) in the market are old designs before the great increase of video live stream that happened after covid. The big companies (sony, canon, .. etc) just keep producing them instead of making new designs.

Very nice explanation in simple ways, no complicated things. Being simple yet clear is a virtue not many possess but you have that Mam. As I have been teaching in University for last 28 years (India and abroad) and been jury / chair for lots of technical discussions, I have come across many people who are either not clear about their concepts or their explanations are French to a non-french speaking person, hence the benefits in such cases are hard to get. I am sure it will help a lot of people to get started. Thanks for beautiful, short and clear video very useful for the beginners. Regards. - Prof. Bhupesh C Little PhD, Post Doc.

Hi I am trying to do a hybrid between live meeting (conference room) and zoom for people who do remote. Can you recommend a speaker or microphone clear enough so people can hear remotely?

@VlogAcademyUK 2 жыл бұрын

Hi, did you find a solution? You could use a clip-on microphone hooked up to your computer, might have to be wireless if you're moving around. Or do you need more people in the conference room to be heard? Then google Conference microphone for computer - it depends on what country you are in what you can get.

So if I connect my camera to my laptop for live streaming is it going to run down my camera battery faster? I wanted to try to connect my Lumix G85 and put it on a long cord for my cooking channel. So do you need a capture card for youtube? Doesn't youtube record it for you and keep it ?

So first thing first, you want to run off electricity, batteries will get drained. You can go live straight on KZfaq if you're using a webcam, but if you want higher quality, you need to connect a separate camera.

I have an eyecam attached to the top of my monitor for my desk top. I want to create videos in front of the eyecam - demonstrating or simply talking about specific products so my audience can see me. Then I want to attach short videos to my web page streamers will visit when looking for information about products - such as guitars. Can you assist with that simple process.

Hi, Timothy, you need something like OBS, Loom or Camtasia to record the video onto your computer, then edit it and upload either to KZfaq or upload a file of the highest resolution to whatever the platform you choose requires.

What's your setup? Usually it's best to connect the mic straight to the computer to avoid lag. USB or ensure the mic is correct for your system. You then just need to ensure your computer settings accept external microphone.
