I can’t see ever going back to another video-streaming app now.
#ECAMM LIVE UPDATE#
It turns out, if you build a sustainable business model-Live costs $16/month, or $32/month for a Pro tier-you can afford to steadily update your software! In two years, Live had addressed literally every frustration I had experienced with the 2020 version of the app. (These apps, all focused primarily on Windows, don’t properly take advantage of various Mac features, making them less efficient on macOS.) I had crashes, failures, and frustrations with interfaces that just weren’t made for me.Įarlier this year, I decided to check in on Live to see if it had made progress in the last two years. I gave up and went back to Wirecast, OBS, and Streamlabs, and spent a couple of years frustrated that not even an iMac Pro with eight Xeon cores had enough horsepower to stream videos smoothly on the Internet. It just couldn’t be done-Live had a very particular way of approaching a document with a single “source” dominating the screen and additional items being added on top of it. For example, I wanted to place video of two people side by side, with a small picture-in-picture overlay of a screen capture. I wanted control of the layout of the live display. Unfortunately, the app wasn’t flexible enough. In early 2020, I desperately hoped it could replicate my needs for streaming Total Party Kill (and, potentially, Six Colors). Unfortunately, my first attempt at embracing Live didn’t take. I wanted to use my Mac, if at all possible. But I really didn’t want to go down that path. Most of my friends who have dived into live streaming gave up and bought Windows PCs, dedicated to running that software.

There aren’t many of those out there in any category, and this was a category that frustrated me with unreliable, slow cross-platform apps. Live is a rarity: it’s a relatively young (introduced in 2017), Mac-only app.
#ECAMM LIVE SOFTWARE#
Software that streams live to YouTube, Twitch, and other services is dominated by open-source projects like OBS and Streamlabs and expensive cross-platform apps like Wirecast. When I first tried Ecamm Network‘s live-streaming app Live, I didn’t like it.
