#ECAMM LIVE AND ZOOM SOFTWARE#
Checking these out before getting the software allowed me to see its capabilities, and ease of use. The other thing that really sold me on Ecamm Live is that there is a really good set of short tutorials on its use over on YouTube.

ecamm Live on the other hand has a very easy to use interface, it is rock solid in terms of reliability, and fortunately, I have not had any reason to check out whether or not it has good support, but I suspect it does(!). Man圜am is glitchy (currently it has issues working with Zoom), its user interface is challenging to navigate and settings are often forgotten by the app, and support isn’t the best. I have used both, and I can strongly recommend Ecamm Live over Man圜am for a variety of reasons.
#ECAMM LIVE AND ZOOM MAC#
To achieve this you need software like Man圜am or if you are Mac based (like me), you can use ecamm Live.
#ECAMM LIVE AND ZOOM HOW TO#
The next thing is to sort out how to get the HDMI feed from the camera into the laptop.A quick Google search will bring up a long list of articles each with lists of cameras with clean HDMI out. I opted for a Canon EOS R which is a bit of overkill for this job, but I already had a collection of good Canon lenses, so it made sense for me to purchase a camera capable of utilising them. it is going to sound obvious, but to get high quality 4K video, you are going to need a good camera – one that is capable of putting out 4K video (duh!) and clean HDMI (I had no idea what “clean HDMI” was before embarking on this journey – fortunately my colleague Timo Elliott had embarked on this journey long before this crisis, so he was able to give me some pointers, including the need for a camera with clean HDMI out).So, how did I achieve this? To be honest, it was a steep learning curve, but I’ll try to summarise what I learned below. Scroll to the end of this post for a video showcasing the results 👇🏻 In the first image, I am simply using my laptop’s built-in webcam for the call, whereas in the second image I’m using my all new setup which is capable of live-streaming 4K video. In the images above (click to enlarge) you can see the before and after images from Zoom calls.

Now in this post I want to talk about how I have gone on to improve the video quality I’m able to put out – this works for video recording, for live-streaming, but as a nice byproduct, also for Zoom/Team calls, webinars, and the like. It does not store any personal data.In my last blog post I talked about how I have used the time at home to improve the audio quality of my Digital Supply Chain podcast.
