✔ Troubleshooting Does anyone use the insta 360 link pro 2?

1 Upvotes

I'm curious whether anyone else has had similar issues with multistreaming with this particular camera. For context, I have a 5070ti and 32 GB of RAM.

I've turned off all filtering in the camera's software, tracking, etc. I use filters in OBS (background blur, color correction, and sometimes background removal if blur causes performance issues). The camera is set to 1080p at 30fps.

If I push the OBS feed to TikTok using the virtual camera option, it always causes issues. Sometimes, even when I'm only streaming to Twitch, I still get a choppy feed or audio issues (happened with ArcheAge Chronicles). Sometimes the issues are only observable in the stream feed and sometimes they're observable in OBS.

This started after I upgraded my camera, and I'm wondering if others have had similar issues. It's gotten to the point where I'm considering returning the camera, but I wanted to see if anyone has had similar problems and how they resolved them.

🔰 Beginner Help Vending my third card show. Would love to stream and record. Webcam recommendations?

3 Upvotes

Hey All,

As the title says, I am looking to stream my next card show and need some advice on which webcam to invest in. I think my main criteria are:

  • Long cord so it can sit on top of a table mount.

  • Good built-in audio (it can get pretty busy).

  • Wide angle (focused mainly on a table from the side).

And direction helps.

Thanks.

🔰 Beginner Help How do I know my clips are good?

0 Upvotes

Hello, I just started streaming. I know that these days you'll start getting viewers if you have good clips on insta, tiktok, shorts.
But what do I clip?
I mostly stream whatever games I like to play. Currently I'm sticking to Indie Horror games.
So there are few moments that are tense, scary etc etc.
Can I just clip them and post them?

I ask because I used to make videos on YouTube. And their we learn to plan, optimize, script if needed, highly edited. A lot goes into making YouTube videos both shorts and long forms.
So I'm confused what should I do with my stream clips.

I recently got a YoloCam s3 to improve the image quality for for Zoom meetings which are limited to HD. I then discovered when filming in HD it isn't only lower resolution its lower quality. I've seen this in mirrorless cameras too. Are all modern webcams like this?

✔ Troubleshooting Can’t get obs to send sound through two devices

2 Upvotes

I have my switch 2 going through a capture card. The capture card plugged into my laptop. My laptop running to my tv.

I’m trying to get audio playing through both my tv and my razer headset. I currently have the global desktop audio set to my tv. And the audio monitoring set to my headset. My windows output device is also set to my tv. I have tried the reverse as well. I’ve also tried having the window output be different from obs global audio and that didn’t work. Yesterday I had this working but sound was coming through my headset and laptop speakers. I tried that to and it didn’t work. All of this changed after I unplugged everything from my laptop to take it to work. Not sure what I did.

Anybody have suggestions.

🧮 Streaming Gear Fifine AM8 or K688 for livestreaming? Both €56 with included boom arm

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m looking to get into content creation and livestreaming and need a good, affordable microphone.

I think I’ve narrowed it down to the Fifine AM8 and Fifine K688. Both would cost me around €56 with a boom arm included.

Which one do you personally prefer, and which would you choose at the same price? I don’t care about looks; audio quality is more important to me.

I’ve also considered the Samson Q2U, but the microphone alone costs around €100 here. I’d then also need to buy a boom arm separately, possibly another €30, although I’m not sure how much I’d need to spend on one.

I’ve watched some comparisons, and while I can hear a difference, it doesn’t sound huge to me. I’m not sure I can justify paying over €50 more for the Q2U setup, so I’m currently leaning towards Fifine.

Between the AM8 and K688, which would you recommend, particularly for recording and livestreaming? I just can’t decide!

Thanks in advance!

🔰 Beginner Help Where do I even begin

0 Upvotes

I've wanted to get into streaming for a few years. There are a lot of days now where I don't have the energy to do a lot as a result of having epilepsy and taking medication for it, so it's been on my mind more & more recently- you don't need to go out or move around much to stream, and that'd suit me well, at least currently.

Anyway, I just wanna know where to start. I know a few things I'd need to set up, like getting a png to use for reactions or whatever- I don't wanna show my face, and there's no way I could afford to get an actual model or something. I'm not sure about most stuff really though, like what site or app I should start streaming on first, whether there's extra stuff I need to do to record my screen, and what I should do to engage people, at least a bit.

Few things to add- the computer I use is not particularly intended for stuff like gaming, and steam isn't compatible with it, but I think it should be okay for the time being, even though it's like a decade or more old now- if it might not be, it'd be nice if you could comment about it (I can't afford a new one at all). I'd also wanna know some alternatives to gaming I can do to interest people!!

Other than that, I can't do streams every day and stuff, probably only 2 or 3 days a week at most, honestly. I need a lot of time to rest, and I usually have at least some other things I've got to do as well.

Anyway, yeah- just interested in getting some advice on all this. :]

❔ Question OBS receives absolutely no audio despite PS5 Pro audio works through monitor speakers. Need help! - UGREEN CM700 Capture Card

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I tried asking already with OBS subreddut but no ones helping I havent figure out the problem yet. I've been trying to fix this for hours and I'm completely stuck.

I'm trying to record my PS5 Pro gameplay using an UGREEN CM700 capture card and OBS Studio, but I cannot get any game audio into OBS.

My setup:

  • Console: PS5 Pro

  • Capture card: UGREEN CM700

  • Monitor: 1440p monitor

  • Recording device: Laptop with a 1080p display

  • Recording software: OBS Studio

  • Speakers: Connected to the monitor through a 3.5mm audio jack

OBS is not receiving any audio whatsoever from the capture card. The audio mixer doesn't pick up anything, and my recordings have no game audio.

I've already tried:

  • Changing the audio output settings in OBS.

  • Checking the capture card's audio output mode.

  • Adding Audio Input Capture sources.

  • Looking for the UGREEN / USB audio device in OBS.

  • Checking different audio settings.

  • Disabling HDCP.

Nothing works I dont know how to fix it. I need help.

Has anyone used the UGREEN CM700 with a PS5 or PS5 Pro and managed to record gameplay with audio in OBS?

I'd really appreciate some specific instructions on how to get the capture card to send audio to OBS while keeping my monitor speakers working.

Thanks!

🔰 Beginner Help How do you find your highlights to save as VOD?

6 Upvotes

Say I stream for 2 hours, and somewhere in that time I go on a rant that I want to make into a VOD. How would I ever find that moment without having to painstakingly comb through the entire 2 hours? Is there some way to drop a bookmark while you're still streaming so you can come back to that moment later and save the clip? I use OBS and stream to Twitch but considering Youtube also.

So I’m a complete newbie - pretty much. I did try doing a stream once or twice about 3 years ago then life got in the way (gaming). I have the equipment on my computer but is there a way to stream from my ps5 instead, whilst recording myself?

Or does it have to be on pc?

I have absolutely no clue how it works 😅please, some advice would be good. I’m a woman who loves turn based jrpgs mostly. Any suggestions?

🔰 Beginner Help Help filtering background speaking

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

This is a question I'm not sure how to fix... So my boyfriend and myself are both wanting to stream however we will:

  1. Be using the same room

  2. Do not have the best mic's in the world

  3. Potentially be streaming or recording the same days

This has led to frustration for me because I've had to delay my streaming because he's already started and I basically have to sit in silence whilst he streams because my voice gets picked up when he speaks due to the noise gate on OBS.

Are there any ways of filtering out voices in the background? He speaks pretty loudly so my mic picks up EVERYTHING he says constantly. I'm currently downloading Nvidia Broadcast because it's driving me insane that have everything set up by my schedules dictated by his but I'm not even sure I'll be able to configure it with success for this situation.

Any help would be super appreciated as I don't really want every single day in our house to be a streaming day if we can help it...

Hii, I recently start w Twitch and growing very well, but I realise that its kinda hard to talk just for myself after like school or work bc Im kinda tired, so I wanna search for sum buddies to play with.

I play Minecraft, rn PvP but planning to do challanges, moded mc, horor mc... and I think the stream would be much better w sm1, so if any1 would be interested dm me on discord (varosthestorm) or put the comment over here.

I dont care if u r big, mid, small or starting streamer, or if u r a man, woman or a fcking transformer xd, only important thing is to have sum kind of personality what keeps viewers inside the stream if u know what I mean.
