Its delightful seeing someone so passionate and excited with her own content, and yes, I need this information, thank you, Cat
this video popped up months ago when I was first trying to figure out how to use my iPad as a white board and at the time I thought I don't need all this I just wanna John madden on my zoom meetings. Here I am months later with the teleprompter, white board set up, full ecamm, dummy monitors and lions and tigers and bears oh my! great content as always you are a gem out there for reals.
Love your series- so do a great job walking us through
Thank you 😊
Excellent Cat thank you - I’ll try this today
thanks for the tutorial. I love your smile 👍🏻😊
Cat! This is awesome for presentations with Keynote on the iPad!!!!!
Great info. Thanks 👊
This is priceless. Thank you!
You are welcome!
Amazing! Thanks so much
Can’t wait for the NDI video too Cat - you’re awesome
Very pleasant and informative !!! Loved the presentation, I totally absorbed and put into practice what I gained from your tutorial within minutes… Great Job !
Oh my god this is brilliant. My students are going to really like this!
The way you present is awesome 👍👍👍👍
Thank you so much 😊
Cat
I really love your videos, they reinvigorated what I was doing when I first started doing regular zoom meetings. I hadn’t considered doing custom graphics built in Keynote until seeing your video though. I watch lots of your videos multiple times now and they have been very helpful. So Thank You very much!
Now I have been using CamTwist which has worked very well for me as a virtual camera used with Zoom Meetings. OBS wasn’t as is to install until they updated so you could install to MacOS easily. So I’ve downloaded that to try out. The using the iPad as a Whiteboard is something I have been looking to do, and potential solved a problem I was trying to solve to create an easy Glassboard videos. I have run into a problem in that iPad connected via USB to my Mac, the whiteboard is mirrored the webcam video is not mirrored, which means anything I write on the iPad is showing up backwards in the Preview. I use Quicktime (set to Movie Recording mode) to mirror the iPad, but Quicktime Flip horizontal is grayed out, and CamTwist doesn’t allow me to flip the iPad screen. Did you run into the problem of the written text on the whiteboard showing up backwards? if so how did you solve the problem?
Glad you are benefitting from my videos! The first thing I would do with the flip is to make sure your mirroring is turned off in Zoom. Go into your Zoom Preferences > Video and make sure Mirror My Video is turned off. I have never used CamTwist, so I can't speak to whether that is part of the issue. In theory, nothing should need to be mirrored in any of the apps or software.
Excellent video.
Great video, Cat! I really appreciate learning how to do this :) Just wanted to give a shout out to Notability as well. I use it a lot for my digital note taking, it has similar shape tools and straight line snap etc like Goodnotes does. Thanks!
Very useful.
This was inspiring at first and frustating after sucessive failures and convincing that this wouldn't work with my ipad and macbook, then exciting again when this worked with my old linux desktop from 2012 and obs! Thanks for the motivation and nice way to present. Looking for some open source note taking software for iPad. Any ideas? Best, Alexandre
This is so helpful! How did you do the green in GoodNotes? (I'm using Notability but I suppose it's similar.) Do you import a PDF? Or can you use a hex code to color the "paper"?
hi - great video. I've just tried this using Procreate too and it works well with green set as the background layer. Now I just need to learn to be able to write neatly..
Thanks for sharing! I'm sure others will appreciate another option that works.
As for the writing neatly... that's a whole other issue 😂
This is super helpful to me, thanks!
Love it! How do you make the background green like that in GoodNotes? I only see the option for white, yellow, or black.
Fantastic!
works even better using Freeform
Amazing Cat. 😉 Is there any way to control the opacity of the letters?
Lots of great info here, but I really would like to see this in a more chronological order? Like, “do this first, here’s how” and so on. I feel like I missed some basic setup stuff, I.e. how to add my main camera if it’s a DSLR or whatever.
Cat, thanks for the useful video and tips. Questions: how do you actually show comments from the chat? Also, how would you (and could you) do this with an ATEM M8ni Pro (which I use,) and are either ecamm or OBS necessary if I have the ATEM to do what you shared ? I have my iPad into the ATEM as another camera HDM I input)
Hi! Great video! Does this work with an android tablet?
You are so beautiful and have a beautiful voice. ❤
What do you think of Zoom's new and improved Whiteboard solution as compared to whiteboarding on iPad via OBS/Ecamm? I've found it's pretty easy to Zoom into a meeting with my iPad and use my Apple Pencil to with the Zoom Whiteboard, Notes or Procreate. Maybe not as profesh for mostly one-way training engagements, but super fast and easy for collaboration.
You are beautiful 😍😍😍 I loved you!!!
Any idea of how to add virtual pencil📝 to looks like your drive you back of you screen?
PS: the pencil may appear(zoom in) when you actually touch the screen.
Thank you. Could you please share where I can download NDI HX Capture? I can't find it on the app Store on my iPad.
Thank you 😊
You can change pen thickness in keynote besides having multiple choices of pen, pencil, crayon.
Hope you see this since this video was 2 years ago. lol. Do you know if there’s an OBS equivalent for the iPad? Like to be able to use the iPad like my Mac. Record from a second screen, the whole enchilada.
Cat you nailed this. D’you think it can work with Evernote too? Is Goodnotes an Evernote competitor?
I actually considered that but didn't end up testing it out in advance. It could be worth testing out!
I'm not sure whether GoodNotes is considered an Evernote competitor or not. I only just started to use it since it was recommended for the whiteboard option. From a quick glance, I would say it does not have as many features as Evernote.
Hi @cat, Is it possible to use iPad Concepts app?
Keynote is on my iPad. Power Point has white screen. Notability has white board. GoodNote has shapes, colours, hdmi cord,
How did you get Chroma Key color in Good Notes? I only see the 3 default colors. Thanks!
This is amazing but I was not able to do it for some reason. I have M1 Max and connected to 2021 Ipad pro but not showing up on obs as camera for some reason. I have connected my macbook with ipad just regulard type c to type cable. Maybe you could help?
This just dropped into my feed... what has changed since it was made, would you still use the same tools and process?
Hi Cat, do you have a video showing how you bring up the comments? that is really pro looking
Hi Marc, I don't have a specific video on bringing up comments. However, it's a feature when you stream from Ecamm Live. If you click on the icon of the person commenting, it will bring it up on the screen.
"Let me tell you how to use a whiteboard in your stream. First, you're going to want to make sure that the stream you're in is [one where you would want to use a whiteboard]." I'm going to guess that is the case for everyone who clicked on the video :)
If you don’t mind mirroring the screen, ndi screen capture works wirelessly without needing any dongles.
Hi Ms. Cat, may i just ask if your are using a laptop and IPAD is connected as a whiteboard. Thank you.
Cat, I appreciate your tutorials, many thanks. I'm teaching classes from a windows pc using OBS as a virtual camera and I want to use my ipad and MS whiteboard but I can seems to get the thing set up. Would you have any suggestions? Thx Eoin
My question would be how are you connecting your iPad to your PC? I also don't have experience with MS whiteboard, so I don't know for sure if it would have the green screen option. I'm wondering if trying the PPT app on your iPad might be a better alternative?
@@CatMulvihill Hi Cat, thanks for your reply. I will play around with it and see if I can figure it out.
Can use charging cable to desktop and it becomes a camera!
I use notability
Cute
Cannot add my iPad (Mini) as a device in OBS (Mac). Do I need to install an app or configure something?
Do you have a video explaining how you do your countdown timer or is it an Ecamm thing specifically (I use OBS)
Hi Meg, i think it´s a little bit of both. She uses the grafics from Life Streaming Pros, i think. But this is only the combo animated circle and grayed layer. The timer itself and the text is an overlay inside Ecamm Live.
Yes! That's correct. I bought my timer from Live Streaming Pros: merch.livestreamingpros.com/
It's a movie file that loops, but the timer is native to Ecamm.
OBS does have a countdown timer, and I'm planning to do a video on it later this month. In the meantime, there are a number of tutorials on UA-cam about it! You would still want to add your own overlay and animated graphic.
@@CatMulvihill Thanks Cat! That's very helpful :D
I have question - I do not seem to be able to connect my IPAD via the USB to my PC and have it show up in OBS. What am I missing ?
Adobe Fresco
Hi Cat, this is Caleb. I have an iPad 12 and I connect it to my pc with a usb cord. Unfortunately, OBS isn’t picking it up as a device. Do I need extra software? I’d love to use NDI HX Capture, but it won’t work with an iPad 12
Hi Caleb! What you could try is using an HDMI cable connected to a lightning to HDMI adapter, like the one I show at 9:45 in this video.
Hi Cat, first time trying to set all this up and your name was recommended to me. (Located in Australia so you're truly global!). Have subscribed just now.
Q. Virtual Camera - for Windows machine? (It wasnt clear to me (as a beginner sorry) in watching your video why you were using both eCamm and OBS? I believe you said eCamm is apple only.... Is OBS the equivalent on Windows?)
I have an iPad, but the only bit of Apple kit we own. Otherwise Android and Microsoft across the board. I really like the concept of drawing on the ipad though as you demo'd. Also - I dont believe you explained what the other end of the hdmi was plugged into?..... I think you said a 'dock'??
My business would likely involve zoom presentations and likely often two presenters. Can one be talking while the other one draws? I'd be interested to understand if you think two presenters offers a particular complication.... we'd like to avoid having to purchase multiple software/devices where this can be avoided.
Thanks!
Hey Cat - the above was my first dive into these technologies. I now know what OBS is (first video I'd seen) so you can ignore that. I've also attempted setting up NDI overnight ... but I'll write to you on that video in relation the issue am having there. (which is preventing currently the iPad connecting)
So really the only thing i'm still trying to work out from this thread is whether OBS can perform interviews (where both participants can see the output or recording). We are both on one network .... so perhaps NDI is the answer where the OBS output can be seen on the interviewee's machine via NDI on their machine? Just an idea and once I get NDI working properly will come back to this.
If you are on the same network, you should be able to use NDI Tools to share an output with someone else. I have never tried to bring someone in via OBS and have them see an output (since I use Ecamm for interviews).
Tell me camera that you are using
I use my iPad on ZOOM together with Noteshelf 5
Thanks for sharing about Noteshelf 5. I hadn't heard of it before.

Hi
So if I use GoodNotes on the iPad I can't use the iPad to show a Keynote at the same time?
Not in the same scene, but you could change a scene and switch from GoodNotes to Keynote (I would change to my main camera, switch the iPad, then switch to the next scene you want).
@@CatMulvihill appreciate it. I think what I'll do is use GoodNotes on the iPad as a green screen transparency and bring in my Keynote as another camera from my other monitor using the NDI scanner. Love your presentations.
@@DrAlanWeinstein Sounds like a solid plan!

Mam you are so preemptive
Miyaow
personally, I think OBS is way better than Ecam, and probably always will be, it has a lot more functionality than Ecam
Glad to hear you've found what works best for you.
Pity this was not a shoter video, I lost interest after 5 minutes
