### "Old School User Review"

February 8, 2022

5.0

I'm a stand up comedian, podcaster and late night show host. Everything I produce except Live Stand Up Shows, I produce them with Ecamm. I also produce podcasts for other customers, using the multicam feature has made my life easier because I don't have to edit that much in post. and during the pandemic, the interview mode allowed me to keep doing interviews and performing Stand Up shows remotely. So you guys allowed me to keep working. Thanks! Every update makes the software even better and I appreciate the dedication you guys have to guarantee us the best overall experience as users. I feel respected as a customer.

Pros

Old user since 2017, I remember when I started using it and it was already a great product.Now, with all the features that have been added in the last few years have made it no brainer when you're thinking of having a professional live streaming show. All the tools are easy to find and it make my stream look like a pro tv show. The interview feature was a game-changer, specially during the pandemic. The integration with other platforms and tools like the streamdeck add more value to the overall product.

Cons

Well, the biggest Con with Ecamm is that is very expensive, and you need to invest in hardware too that is not cheap. It's a mac only software and macs are not cheap either. I feel the interview mode still needs improvement (specially with the browser compatibility) and mic camera options. The customization of the interview link needs work too (pictures, logos, etc) Of course, there's the infamous "multi stream" request. I know that feature requires more bandwidth from the user side (I tried Wirecast and my router modem almost exploded, my computer too). So I assume that in order to offer that , you might need to invest in more servers, bandwidth a stuuf that might increase the Ecamm subscription. However, if you guys keep the same price most people are paying right now for the basic Restream plan (minus the 30% discount I got from the Ecamm Perks) I'm pretty sure everyone will make the switch to the embedded multistream feature.

Reason for choosing Ecamm Live

Old school Ecamm User since 2017. Not a fan of web browser based streaming platforms. I think they're very limited in graphics and other media for heavy users like myself

### "A joy to use"

February 8, 2022

5.0

Pros

Learning to use Ecamm was easy and intuitive, unlike OBS. When I had questions during the learning phase, I could almost always find my answers simply by playing with it. In those rare situations where an answer didn't show up quickly, I found incredible help resources on the Ecamm website, YouTube, and a very active user community. The power and flexibility of the software, with all input sources being handled the same way, allowing for very flexible overlays and dynamic presentations has greatly enhanced my online presentations.

Cons

I'd love to have the option of keying on custom colors. There are times that green screen is limiting.

### "I love Ecamm"

February 8, 2022

5.0

I absolutely love Ecamm. It is so feature-rich and easy to use I think anyone would be able to use it in their business. From live-streaming to pre-recording content, Ecamm does it all. I've used Ecamm for years and never had any problems with it. If I have any questions, I just go to their extensive library of "how-to" videos and find the answer.

Pros

I love the ease of use I get with Ecamm. The ability to brand my live streams, connect with viewers and build relationships in real-time is essential to my business. Ecamm is rich in features and functions and meets all of my needs as an online art educator.

Cons

I wish it was a little easier to integrate into YouTube.

### "Love the product, just have a couple of suggestions"

February 9, 2022

5.0

Pros

Ease of use is top notch. There's nothing more important than being able to run the show easily while also performing and Ecamm is by far the easiest. Working it becomes second nature.

Cons

These are dislikes, just some ideas. I absolutely love the software. 1. Member Super Chats should be highlighted just like regular Super Chats. 2. More than just 2 audio input options. 3. When using the audio monitor feature, the latency is really bad, making it impossible for a guest to talk and hear themselves at the same time because of the delay. 4. I would like to have more than 1 audio monitor option. 5. It would be cool if the software generated how much money each user has spent on the channel similar to the feature on OBS. 6. I would love it if the software could keep a hard copy of the chat during live sessions. 7. This might be really complicated and I'm not even sure if it's possible, but it would be awesome if there was a way to communicate with callers during the show and screen them before the host puts them on. A way a different person could screen them first. 8. It would be great if there was a way to view a different scene independently while the stream is going. For example, there are times when I start the show and there is a intro video going, but it would be cool if I could see myself on camera before I switch to that scene. Right now you can't monitor a scene without it broadcasting. I absolutely love Ecamm, these are just some ideas that I get from using the software.

### "Awesome Recording and Live Production Software"

February 8, 2022

5.0

With Ecamm's Virtual Camera I can run any meeting (Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, etc) the way I want to essentially having a production studio in my back pocket. For my Live Shows Ecamm Scenes make self-production a simple process allowing you to focus on delivering value. For my Client shows Ecamm Profiles keeps me organized, Ecamm Scene Export allows me to deliver the whole shows without much setup on the client end, and the local recording feature gives me a high quality finished product to deliver to the client upon completion.

Pros

Flexibility to create an experience for my audience that was unique and engaging. Along with a ton of must-have features: NDI, Multiple Cameras, Customizable Lower Thirds, Customizable Camera Position on screen, Video Playback, Sound Effects, Camera Effects, integration with Mobile, ability to Share Screen, Virtual Camera for Video Conferencing Platforms, Isolated Audio Tracks, Advanced Audio Settings, Widgets, Overlays, Animations, native Camera support, and much much more.

Cons

It requires a high-end computer to run this software well and it's only for Macs. Now that the Mac Mini has the M1 chip we now have a reasonably priced option that runs Ecamm perfectly.

StreamYard is an awesome product because of it's simplicity. I simply outgrew what was possible with StreamYard and needed a platform that would give me full control to design and dream up a broadcast with no limitations. Ecamm is that product.

### "How Wayne Roberts would rate Ecamm Live"

February 10, 2022

4.0

I have had a good experience with the software so far, with all the training and challenge offered, the great help desk, as well as the community I have had a great time with the software and love it!

Pros

Ease of use, support/help is very good, it is regularly updated with new features, It allows me to look like I have a full on studio but really it's just Ecamm Live and a few accessories doing the trick. I can create and design the thing I need for my overlay right inside the software

Cons

I have to keep up to date with the new releases of the software or other wise I would be let in dark as far as functionality is concern.

### "Covid era Lifesaver"

February 8, 2022

5.0

I love it. I had a similar ecstatic feeling in 1989 when I first got VideoWOrks (later MacroMind, then MacroMedia and then Adobe, who killed it - like they always do to good things). Ecamm has the potential to change and transform for the better in so many ways the daily video content creation in almost every industry.

Pros

I love the simplicity and straightforward tools Ecamm offers yet with power that other similar products lack. It is an elegant product with a fantastic community and clever developers. It was so easy to get going with Ecamm, but you will learn more and more on the way.

Cons

One confusing thing that makes my head sometimes ache is putting camera feeds on top of other sources. I have created profiles to have my primary camera in the big picture and then my iPad in a smaller floating on top of it, but sometimes I want to swap them so that my iPad takes the whole screen and I am in a small circle floating on top of it. There is something counterintuitive in the UI in that function. Even though I know in theory how to do it, and I can do it if I really think how the plus signs and stuff work on the selectors, I get it frequently wrong and need to start all over again. Just yesterday, I demonstrated Ecamm to a potential Ecamm buyer. While talking with her, I couldn't figure out which order and how I should organise the cameras to get my small round video on top of the iPad. It was (again) a very frustrating thing. And it is the only feature I struggle with.

Reason for choosing Ecamm Live

It was way easier, looked better and had deeper product philosophy. And I like the fact that the developers are real people and not some corporate sales guys. Thanks, \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\]!

### "This should be your baseline for all of you video communications"

February 9, 2022

5.0

My experience with Ecamm Live has made creating tutorial videos for my software packages, product reviews and even social media messaging has been massively elevated using this software.

Pros

Creating video content with this software is easy and fun with Ecamm Live, with the ability to add branded graphics to your video content, tutorials, live streams and even your video messaging. Its features are akin to a professional broadcasting studio which can easily be managed by a single person running the software on a Mac. I originally came to this software looking to connect a Canon DSLR camera to my Mac to improve my WebCam quality, and fell into this awesome result where you can connect a variety of different cameras and devices easily.

Cons

The software is permanently been developed, it is not a redundant software being left by the developers it is a fast moving and feature rich software which only improves by age.

### "I love Ecamm"

February 8, 2022

5.0

I have found the technical support friendly and understanding and really quick which is brilliant, personal too! I have done some really important significant webinars, demos and presentations and ecamm really helped me to manage and deliver a much more engaging experience that really helped with the impact and positive feedback. Its been important both professionally and informally during a period in our lives where connection and a sense of belonging has been so important.

Pros

The ease of use is a real stand out. I find it really accessible as a disabled person as it offers a different workaround. It really makes my online presents professional and engaging. I've had to do some high-level demos and international presentations and gigs and couldn't do it without ecamm.

Cons

It would be great to be able to invite my live captioner in without using a guest place also a way to better manage live captions within Ecamm (live captioning is best practice rather than automated so involves at least another remote operator. It's the same with adding sign language interpreters (often there are 2 of these depending on the length of show/presentation. I guess my biggest challenge is managing echo stuff (but I understand that this is a massive activity to be able to do) still need to learn to do this better with my access needs.

Reason for choosing Ecamm Live

Ease of use, intuitive, faster and much more accessible for me.

### "Software So Good It's Fun to Live Stream and Record!"

February 8, 2022

5.0

Ecamm LIVE allows me to record weekly teaching with minimal editing. I have used it for live streaming meetings where participants were impressed at what I could do and how they could see comments on screen. I have used it to go into Zoom and not had to worry about getting screen-sharing permissions since I controlled fully all that was being sent from me. Love how fun this is to use!

Pros

I love how everything "just works". I'm able to have full control of what goes on screen from sharing a presentation, to a video file, to bringing on people for interviews. I'm a new user but it is so good it makes me look professional and experienced!

Cons

Ecamm LIVE does have a lot of capabilities that can be overwhelming at first. My solution was to take a class online with \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\]. After a couple weeks with him and time with the community, I feel comfortable and knowledgeable with Ecamm LIVE.

### "Ecamm Live is excellent streaming and recording software"

October 24, 2022

5.0

I use Ecamm for community live streaming, for creating my own live streaming for YouTube videos, and even for local screen share recording for videos.

Pros

Setting up multiple windows and feeds are among the nicest features of the software. It's very easy to create streams and to live stream and record directly to your computer. It's among the easiest software to learn and to use, and it just works well. No lag, excellent support.

Cons

Screen sharing takes some fiddling with settings to get the size of your monitor right with the size of the feed or stream. But once you get it - you can save the settings and be good for next time.

Ecamm Live is the only platform you should consider if you are a mac user as it gives a very robust set of features for professional Video and Live Stream Production

### "The essential/best live streaming/production suite"

February 8, 2022

5.0

I just can’t say enough great things about this software and community. It’s easy to use and helped save a company I work with during the pandemic by giving us game changing live stream features.

Pros

The virtual cam is why I want the pro route but in the time since then they have added interview mode (a life saver during the pandemic) and now the upcoming virtual mic features. The team has grown the software tremendously since purchase and really listen to their customers pushing in fixes and features enhancements on a pretty aggressive (timely) schedule. The owners and team are active in the community and it shows.

Cons

Honestly they keep taking out/repairing/upgrading any gripe I find. Some would probably like extra audio sources above the two mics built in but there are ways around it. I do wish the virtual cam was part of standard and web overlays (I would buy pro for all the other features) but that is really just to help out my college student that uses it for live-streaming as well.

February 8, 2022

5.0

I use Ecamm every single day, multiple times a day to train others in how they can best use digital tools to engage their audiences and grow their reach. There is no other app or community like Ecamm and the Ecammfam.

Pros

Ecamm has changed the way I engage online in both broadcasts (live streams) and multi-casts (Zoom meetings, etc.) Ecamm is user friendly yet, tremendously powerful. With the right gear Ecamm allows you to create broadcast quality streams and will impress any client you meet on Zoom.

Cons

While there are always features that will improve the experience, the Ecamm team is responsive to feedback and iterates at a lightning's pace. There is very little to critique.

### "Ecamm Live is the only tool you need for live streaming - but it does so much more..."

February 8, 2022

5.0

Ecamm Live lets me livestream to Facebook and YouTube (it can also be used on LinkedIn). I also use it to record short videos for social. When I guest on a podcast show, I record myself, so I can use snippets of me on social. I also use it to create webinars, going from full screen of me, to a slide to me in the side bare as a go through specific areas. It makes your presentations more interactive and feel more professional. It the ideal way to stand out from the crowd and grab attention, using an easy to learn tool. Just using the basics is more powerful that using other tools.

Pros

This is a comprehensive software that is ideal for a complete beginner, yet has the power of a professional virtual production and live streaming studio. Now one of its super powers is the virtual cam - meaning you can use this in tool like zoom, teams or meet and take advantage of all the features available in Ecamm live. And to top it off, they probably have the most pro-active, dynamic and friendly group in facebook you'll ever find. They and the community are there to help and support you have success with Ecamm Live.

Cons

There is nothing I dislike about Ecamm. It would be great if we could use VST plugins directly in Ecamm, but apart from that they are always adding and improving.

### "The BEST live streaming software for Mac - HANDS DOWN"

February 8, 2022

5.0

There's no other software I recommend for Mac owners who are looking to stream professionally. When I first used it, my mind was blown. And they've continued blowing my mind since.

Pros

I love how EASY it is for you to do a professional live stream with Ecamm Live. I can show my screen and camera, interact with my audience, bring in other assets (i.e. music, video clips, images, overlays) at the click of a button. I love the integration with the Stream Deck to make it even easier. And above all of that, I love how engaged the owners and team are with the Ecamm Live community. They care and it shows.

Cons

I wish I could stream to multiple platforms without having to use a separate surface. But that's not a deal-breaker at all.

### "Ecamm Live WORKS so I can create,"

February 8, 2022

5.0

Ecamm Live - software checks every box for creating an integrated live and webinar style experience for my clients. The ease of use allows me to focus on content. Ecamm Live - the people behind the software: are quick to respond to questions and option ideas. I wish every company that I deal with was as interested in the user experience.

Pros

Responsiveness of the developers to hear what we need and quickly try to make it happen. THIS is a "yes, and..." company and I appreciate them HUGELY! I have two full time professions with completely different use needs and Ecamm Live works seamlessly in both. This allows me to focus on the CONTENT - music or healthcare presentations.

Cons

There is nothing difficult. This software is user friendly for quick application and has extraordinary detail built in that I continue to learn something new, every day. Which lets me continue to expand the possibilities in my work and workflow - daily.

Reason for choosing Ecamm Live

The community for learning seemed like there would be support available in the learning process. After I jumped in, I found that was a fact and that the perfect fit for my multiple work worlds.

I just love the software. Throughout my business life, I have bought many different software programmes. Many started off with a rarara, and fizzled down. But not Ecamm. It is a programme is one that I use since the beginning, and which continues to amaze me.

Pros

Throughout my business life, I have bought many different software programmes. But Ecamm is one that I use since the beginning, and which continues to amaze me. Ecamm is constantly updated. Once you get the hang of it, it is a breeze to use. I love the different functionalities of the software and the areas in which it can be used. The community is awesome and very supportive, something rarely found anywhere else. And, the founders reach out to those who face challenges. It is all very personal.

Cons

Ecamm uses lots of resources from computer or laptop. My older Macbook huffed and puffed. It should be able to run easier

### "Ecamm Live | The Go To solution for Live Streaming"

February 8, 2022

5.0

I use Ecamm Live every day. The virtual cam feature is key to helping me stand out in meetings with customers and internal meetings at work. On weekends, we use it for live streaming our services. It is a very versatile solution.

Pros

Ease of use is a major factor, as we train volunteers for our live streams.

Cons

Using virtual audio for use in other apps like Zoom & MS Teams has been challenging. However, I did note that this coming in the new beta, so I'm excited about that.

### "Ecamm Live Rocks Live Streaming"

February 8, 2022

5.0

Ecamm Live is almost a plug-and-play tool. You just have to click a few settings and you're good to stream. The learning curve is so much easier than other encoders. If you're a Mac user, then Ecamm Live is the only choice.

Pros

Every Ecamm Live user is going to tell you that it's so easy to use. It's robust. It's intuitive. Ecamm Live comes with outstanding customer support. Every time you need help, they're responsive and caring. Ecamm Live can be used for live streaming, virtual meetings, presentations, and recording videos. As an educator in a virtual school, I use it every single day and my classes are visually amazing as a result.

Cons

I'm waiting for the day when Ecamm Live has a multistream functionality, but I know it's coming because the company holds regular update sessions to keep their users in the know.

Ecamm Live is user-friendly and OBS is not.

### "The only choice for livestreaming with a Mac"

February 8, 2022

5.0

Pros

I love how easy it is to setup various scenes and overlays, and customize cameras, chat, and everything around it. If you like to be creative and actually FULLY produce a livestream, this is the best option you'll find. The Ecamm Fam does a great job of constantly improving also!

Cons

The only feature I would love to see is the ability to multi stream, eliminating the need for restream. BUT....I understand why they don't. Other than that, I love Ecamm and will always be an ecamm user.

### "An invaluable partner in my coaching of keyboard players "

February 8, 2022

5.0

I recommend Ecamm regularly o my associates in the music business. All have found it impressive when I demo it for them and some have become Ecamm users themselves.

Pros

I’m able to create custom acenes and overlays that enhance my keyboard students’ grasp of important musical and technical concepts.

Cons

At times the feature I’m trying to access isn’t found intuitively, though most of the interface is very thoughtfully designed.

### "Best piece of software I bought in years"

February 8, 2022

5.0

I've been in love with this software from the start. It literally took me like 5 minutes to understand and setup up my first test stream. I also use it for recording my on-demand videos on my Youtube channel.

Pros

Very easy to use. Very powerful. Very customisable, A joy to work with. Green screen feature is one of the best I've seen in any piece of recording software.

Cons

I still miss the ability to directly take an interview with bidirectional sounds transmission into Zoom/Teams/...

Reason for choosing Ecamm Live

The simplicity and user friendliness of Ecamm is really in a class of its own. OBS would have worked for me too, but with a lot more hassle.
