Yo man do you know if you can add 4 or more cameras and if you can't what do I need for it to work
@@xdiegoxhernandez339 for that many more cameras, I would recommend the Black Magic Atem

Super helpful! Does OBS have auto switching from 1 cam to another or is it we have to manually switch?
Thanks for the info! What kind of camera are you using ?
Bruhh, dope video!
I really appreciate that. Thank you for the support. 🙏🙏
@@DoubtMeTech Quick Question: Do you think it would be possible to use 3 GO Pros 7 for video and then use my elagato stream deck while also using 2 USB microphones for 2 ppl in a podcast with OBS?
Cameras would be used for 1 in center and the other 2(for the 2 ppl)

Is a physical "HDMI Live Stream Switcher" needed? If not? This is Awesome!! I have Canon R5 cameras. I like how quick and easy you present this video. Right to the point. Thanks!
This is informative, Thank you I know now how to set up multi cam.
Can you also make tutorials on how to multi microphone atleast 2 mics or more. Thank you
Watch this video: ua-cam.com/video/38Ls8eSh3AY/v-deo.html
It shows you how to also add a mixer for multiple mics
Exactly what I needed, assuming you are using windows

QUESTION: Are those El Gato Camlinks going into USB ports on separate USB Buses? That is, does your laptop have more than 1 USB Bus?
Thanks for the video man! Do I have to have the cam link for each camera, or can I go directly from the camera to the computer via the cable? Something's not working right for me, and I don't know what I'm missing. I can get both feeds to work on each camera, but one is always overriding the other when they're both on. Might be the missing cam link?
For high quality you will need a cam link for each camera. You can however do this: ua-cam.com/video/O7-mFamLaVY/v-deo.html PLUS 1 cam on a cam link. But that video shows a method that will work on a budget, but im not a fan of it. I definitely prefer a cam link for each cam.
Hey! A couple of questions here.
1. What kind of Laptop set up do you have? Seems like alot of cables are pluged into it. Curious about that.
2. If I wanted to mimic this set up with a 3rd camera, how could I do that?
Love the vid, great stuff! Subbed.
Hi ! I wondered if you've ever had any issue in terms of crashing or USB, with two Cam link 4K going into a laptop. Do the go into the same USB Root Hub ?
All good ? Cheers !
thanks, although will it work if i just have a cheap webcam hooked up via usb cable?
Hey Doubt me, thank you for this video.
I have 3 4k cameras with 3 camlink pros going into my macbook, the problem is, when I exceed 1 camera it begins lagging and the recording quality starts to fail in OBS, what is the problem here?
I'm going into a docking station that then connects to my macbook, what kind of computer set-up is ideal and mobile to be able to do this podcasting set-up with 3 cameras?
Thanks in advance if you can help! :)
Thanks so much for sharing. For whatever reason, after I attempted to add 2 cameras , I now have to reinstall the camera every time i turn on OBS. I can't seem to be able to install both anymore, They both are connected with a USB capture card. Do i need capture cards?
Great info, thank you. Question on the sound set up. If your dual cameras are both set up with HDMI through the Elgato link, then when you switch cameras, does that mean it also switches the audio to be running from the camera selected?? I have a set up now with a sony X10 with the sound board from the church running into the cam, then the I can mix on the the cam the amount of sound board and room ambiance so give the sound a live but solid sound . If I add a camera in the way you have it set up here, I'm just wondering how that affects my sound. I hope this makes sense. thanks
I would normally have the sound coming through a mixer connected to the computer via USB and the audio from both cameras set to zero (no audio). But if you have the mixer connected into one of the cameras, then the 2nd camera I would bring the audio levels all the way down to zero. If both cameras are on the same scene, switching cameras won't affect the audio source
Hey...Loved your video, But I have One Question Like Can Keep 1 Audio Source Only So For All Multi cams?
Yes. Just mute the mics or inputs you don't want audio from
Just now using OBS. Would the same logic would apply to adding remote sources? Like when everyone is using zoom or skype for example?
Question so can do transition between sources but can you have specific source to have its own style transitions
Nice tutorial,I really love it...if I am planning to switch between 4dslr cameras,does that mean I need 4capture cards
Thank you. And yes you will need a camlink for each camera
It doesn’t need to be a camlink (as they’re kinda expensive).
These generic „hdmi capture card[s]“ work pretty well for me.
EposVox has got some videos on these capture cards „CantLink“
@@maxgry many of the cheap ones are limited to certain resolutions and frame rates. Make sure they have what you need
Gawd damn man that was the easiest way to understand this stuff when you're a dummy like me! Thank you, and I will be sure to pay this shit forward!!!
Happy to help. Thanks for watching. 🙏🙏
Thanks guys, this was very helpful. Your the best. One question, can I use a USB hub on OBS, I like to use up to 4 cams on one computer?
It's not recommended to use USB hubs because each cam link requires a lot of power from each connection. If you're using 4 cams, then I would recommend adding the Blackmagic ATEM Mini Pro as your switcher. It will use one USB port but will taken in 4 different cams.
@@DoubtMeTech Very true. Thanks for the advice my fiend.
ua-cam.com/video/eXWyG-1dQhg/v-deo.html
I finish building the telescope and busy adding the Digital SVBONY cams. I appreciate your advice.
Will the audio jump or be smooth if I have the same mic selected on both scenes that I transition back and forth?
Hey brother great video and perfectly explained! I have one question, My Omen gaming laptop only has one HDMI port so I can only plug in one capture card. Is it necessary to have two HDMI ports??
The capture cards plug into USB 3.0 or above, not hdmi.
@@DoubtMeTech oh that's right. I'm such a noob! Thankfully my Omen has two of them. Thanks for the information.
Can i do this with 2 android phones? Or can i do this with a phone and a webcam like the elgato? Why do you need the cam link?
I’m looking to do a split screen between two cameras in OBS live-streaming to UA-cam. I have a 2019 16” MacBook Pro with an i9 and Radeon 5600. Will my set set up be powerful enough to run this?
I tried to set up 2 cameras and record using your video as a reference but for some reason both cameras won't record at the same time. I only get 1 external camera and my laptops integrated camera. I am not allowed to use the other external camera, any thoughts?
Hi, Can I add a second camera with a different IP address ? For a side by side recording with someone at a different location. thanks
Hello! I have 2 Sony A7iii and 2 Elgato 4k Camlinks, I have hooked everything up to my MacBook. OBS recognizes the cam link, but when I select it is just a black screen. Any thoughts??
Hi, I would to record music Videos in a studio setting with several IPhones! I am not planning on live streaming, even though I might end up doing that too.But for now, i just want record the session from different angles! Can this software record different camera angles simultaneously? So I can edit it afterwards! And can I start and stop the recording of all cameras simultaneously? And where would it be recording to? The Computer or the ssd of the camera itself? Or both? Thanks a lot! Cheers
can you tell how to integrate different cameras?
Hi there
To connect the cameras to the computer it’s just using that hdmi to usb converter then? If 3 cameras so I need 3 those is that right ? I’m building s podcast setup but I only use canon rp, do you think the rp is capable of recording it?
Thanks in advance
I can't get any audios from my cameras. Even when I display all the camera settings info on the screen, it shows I'm getting an audio input into the camera itself as I can see the audio levels moving up and down, however the audio bars within OBS studios are static and when I watch back the recording there is no sound. Please can you suggest how to fix this issue? Many thanks!
Can you do this with I phones or go pro?
would you know which HDMI cable for a Canon m50 MK II to use thanks
Hey brother
I use MacMini M1 computers
Do you think I can connect 3 cameras using cam link and make it happen?
Thanks in advance
Hi, Thanks for the detailed info. Just a quick question .Do you know if Canon EOS 70D can be used instead of a Sony Alpha A6600 Mirrorless Camera and Elgato Cam Link 4K is a must have to get the setup working ?
Any camera with an hdmi output can be used with this method
What kind of computer are you using?
Do I need a cam link? Can I not just use the utility software for 2 x M50 Canon cams?
I have a rodecaster pro. How do I get my podcast audio onto this exact same setup? Thank you .

I need something that can do 8 cameras. Is this possible
Hey man 🤙🏽, love the videos! I’m currently trying to set up a three-camera podcast on OBS. I have made my scene 3840x2160 which can fit four full HD screens. I plan to crop them all in post-editing. I have a cam link for each of the cameras. One thing I did notice though is that depending on what USB port I used on my PC. Sometimes it would affect the quality of the video or audio recorded. It’s a relatively new build, so I’m unsure why this is happening. Any suggestions?
Also, my second question is... if you have a power cut in OBS halfway through recording. Is there a way to have a backup? So you don’t lose everything?
Sorry for the lengthy questions. But hopefully, your answers may help others in a similar situation.
Regards
Lancelot 🙂
I'm a bit late but maybe i can help you. Some of the USB Ports are using the same bus. So if you use these usb ports all the taffic is on this bus. You have to chose usb ports using different buses to make it work.
*buses are the systems transfering the data
Sorry or my english...hehehe ^^
@@Dicealot thankyou. someone else told me this too! oh, and to answer my own question....apparently if you record in FLV format then you can recover the recording before a powercut? but I have not tested this method yet.
Hi!.. what if I'm using multiple SJCam4000 with only a USB cable connections?.. Is the camlink still works?.. I'm using powered USB port but still, one camera is resetting.. Can you help?
6:00 can you also press a button to switch to the other camera?
Every time I use the cam link two set up my other canon camera, usually around the 40 minute mark my obs always seems to disconnect from my WiFi....any ideas How I can stop this from happening
OBS isn't dependent on your wifi, so I dont think the issue is related. Maybe try to run a hardliner into your computer with a LAN cable
I really like to know how to run miltiple camera with power point using OBS
Why Omari look like he don’t wanna be there 🤣
He prefers being behind the camera 😂😂😂
What kind of computer specs to I need to do this without any lag?
With an RX580 GPU, can I display two cameras at 50fps?
I am having an issue where I can get video feed from both cameras prior to choosing a Cam 1 but when I go to select cam 2 it gives me no preview and nothing is shone. Anyone else experienced this?
YES!!!! I'm trying right now and it is doing that. I'm not sure what is going wrong.
i have a question, what if one of the cameras cannot be close enough to the main laptop? if I was streaming a sporting event and wanted an angle from the opposite side of the gym, or such, how would I do that? if that is even possible
(sorry if you already answered this question)
You can get a wireless hdmi transmitter, or really long hdmi cables
@@DoubtMeTech im going to look into that, thank you very much!
Is there a 30min "streaming" limit when using the setup like this?
There is no recording limit.
if i use this setup for recording will obs record the cameras as 2 separate video files
It will not. It records into one video file
Brother if we are streaming with 2 camera ok and In between I want to show video or photo how I can do that?means I want to minimise my web cam and want to show picture in bigger size
Yes you can. Just put that video in another scene.
@@DoubtMeTech ok thanks
Ive been trying this but my second camera always shuts off.. what am I doing wrong?? help!!
is there a short cut for scene transitions from your keyboard instead of using a mouse?
Yes you can program keys on your keyboard. I'll do a video on that soon
@@DoubtMeTech beast! Thanks a ton!
Actually you should watch this video where I show you how to do it with the Stream Deck. It's even better than using keyboard shortcuts.

Can I just use obs to record overhead rig scene and record with a front cam rig no streaming involved?
Yes you can

Hi,can you please tell me how to connect 2 dslr cameras if I don't have 2 HDMI inputs in laptop?I have 2 camlinks but I don't see 2 hdmi in my laptop.Thank you!
The camlinks are for HDMI inputs. Connect the hdmi outputs from the cameras to the hdmi input on the camlinks
@@DoubtMeTech Yes and thank you for replying but where to plug the 2 camlinks in lap top because I think there is only one hdmi?😘
The camlinks plug into the computer with USB 3.0 type A, not HDMI
@@DoubtMeTech Thank you but 😥computers have only 1 USB 3 and how then you plug in 2 cam links? Sorry and thank you for your kindness
I added 2 1080p cameras to OBS, it freezes either 1 or both cameras after a few minutes, I have to unplug/plug to reestablish the video. I have an i7 16gb ram gtx1660 , I would think it should handle it. Any ideas?
Go to the Nvidia Geforce app, optimize OBS. Make sure you don't have other apps open at the same time. Also make sure you have USB 3.0 ports for the camlinks. I try to keep mine on USB 3.1 ports.
@@DoubtMeTechI tried everything and may have found the issue.I removed my Pengo 4k grabber from the equation, replaced it and seems to be working fine. NVIDIA said my gtx 1660 will not support 2 1080p cameras but its working ok with both, some flickering, I may need to dumb down to 720p.
F is for full screen
If you're using webcams do you still need a capture card?
You don't need a capture card if your webcams connect via USB.
