    Hi, does this work with an external microphone w/o loosing sync? On Elgato's EpocCam Pro I am always loosing sync, even using the cabled connectivity :-(

      @DeeNimmin 3 роки тому +1

      Late reply here 😊 You’ll have to test it with your system to see.
      I’ve found a lot of sync issues come from a low upload speed or an older graphics card. Have you found any ways to connect a cam that didn’t cause a sync issue?

    Great software. But...My iPhone camera is not showing up on the StreamYard choices for cameras. I am using the free version. Phone connected to same WiFi and connected via a cable.

    • @StreamYard

      Do you have the Iriun software installed as well? On Mac, you may need to go into System Preferences and approve their software to get the camera to work.

    Does this work in basic or is the upgrade required. On the free version there is no cam/mic under the gear icon, only settings. When I enter settings and click audio in the drop down box the Iruin is present and allows me to use my smart phones audio. But when I attempt the same for camera, only my webcam is present in the drop down box. If using your smart phone as a webcam can only be achieved by upgrading your subscription then stating this fact would save new customers of Streamyard a ton of time

      Thank you, found that a tad confusing. The sheet says that iOS 11-12.2: is supported but for audio-only (no camera support). What does that mean? Meanwhile, I can record on my Streamyard, fuzzy since it's the free version. So what part of my IOS is it that won't be supported? Or is it saying with my phone as the webcam the computer will only support audio? Thank you for any clarity you can offer.

    • @StreamYard
      @StreamYard  Рік тому

      Hey! If your iPhone is on iOS 11-12.2, Mobile Safari will not be able to access the camera, but it will be able to access the microphone. This is a limitation of the features within those iOS versions. If your phone is completely up to date, you should have no problem. This does not affect your computer at all. - Katie 🦆

    • @DeeNimmin
      @DeeNimmin 3 роки тому

      That’s a good question.
      You can have control over the camera doing it this way, vs no control when doing it the other way. The free version of this app is limited but the paid version gives you manual video controls. IVcam gives you even more controls (another app).
      Opening another browser for an additional cam source is fine for computers that can handle it, but weaker machines can struggle to do this smoothly.

      If you set up a phone as a second camera, you can absolutely do that. The reason you would use this method from the video is if you want to use your smartphone’s camera as the camera from your computer. It’s a “handshake” system, where they require having an app and desktop software to communicate, an unlock the phone so you can access the camera from your computer.

      You need 2 camera sources. Make 1 source your main source in Streamyard, and then send yourself the guest code inside of Streamyard, and make your 2nd device the "guest." Make sure to turn off the audio for the guest. You might have to play with your audio settings to reduce audio echoes if you hear any, Streamyard has an option for that too. Wear headphones to remove it.
