Thank you so much for including Ecamm Live! We always love watching these videos.

[DougHewsonYT]

Why have I not heard of evmux before? Great round up Justin!

[vtvv]

I still think Wirecast is the best because I own it and don't pay for updates. Ecamm looks great, but I am not trying to add yet another subscription to my life.

[BrettWhitmarsh]

I love ecamm live but I run into two issues with the guest options. Audio delays for the guests on their end and on the recording (sometimes an echo) and a limit to 4 guests. Otherwise it’s an incredible tool. I’ve not used the virtual web cam to bridge zoom, which would be helpful. I’m going to try that out after seeing that mentioned here.

Evmux is AWESOME!! going to revolutionize this entire eco system !!

*Can we all agree that when He uploads our days get better! 💖*

[TheICUChannel]

Thanks a lot . Can u please tell or make a video on “how to stream /share PowerPoint on wirecast” . That’s the only thing stopping me from purchasing the software .

[rafalvarezsevilla]

great video, you really should use an audio limiter though to bring up your volume, listened to this on headphones while in the bus/subway, and sometimes didn’t hear anything. much love from an audio engineer ;)

Ecamm...hans down...EVMUX good runner up...I am part of the Ecammily & LGL fam

[BornAgainFarmGirl]

OBS is so hard for my older brain but free is simply how my circumstances dictate . I’ve been helped a great deal from your tutorials!

[foursite]

This is truly the best review of these products I have seen online. Thanks so much for taking a bit of your life to help us make the right purchase!

Here’s why I’ve canceled my evmux subscription. Note: For weeks I tested evmux on an M1 using macOS Monterey and an Intel-based Mac using Big Sir. The following occurred on both computers:

—UNACCEPTABLE BUGS —

1) The evmux software often records nothing but gray screen.

2) In the recording, sometimes the background appears many seconds later.

3) In the recording, sometimes the avatar arrives many seconds later or is completely absent.

4) Sometimes the audio avatar gets stuck. Other times it’s completely absent.

5) When sharing a video from the computer, the audio is slow, then fast, then slow, etc. [I tested numerous video files—including WebM. This classic video error does not occur with Ecamm Live or StreamYard.]

6) In Pro Scenes, ‘lock’ does not actually lock the element. I.e., if someone accidentally presses the wrong key, the element can/will move. [E.g., run a slideshow and press the right arrow. Use the wrong key followed by an arrow and watch the element jump and then continue moving off the screen.]

7) In Pro Scenes, in the recording, sometimes layers initially appear without others; this renders a very unprofessional recording.

8) In Pro Scenes, sometimes ‘auto-switching’ did not switch.

9) Gray leader prior to the black leader in the beginning of recording. (I’ve seen this occur in evmux demos.)

10) Too many dropped frames. (I’ve seen this occur in evmux demos.)

11) Warning messages appear in very inconvenient locations (over the controls).

12) The branding font-size is out of proportion from one scene to the next.

13) In Pro Scenes, during a PDF slideshow, the transitions do not always work and/or a slide flickers back in during the transition.

— MISSING FEATURES —

A) Inability to kick and/or block a guest (ref. StreamYard).

B) Inability for a guest to upload their own avatar (ref. StreamYard).

C) Inability to run a PDF slideshow in Dynamic Scene mode (ref. StreamYard).

D) See just how easy it is? evmux Pro Scenes, in my opinion, is quite complicated. Without a lot of practice, there is (again, my opinion having used Ecamm Live and StreamYard) a huge potential for error and/or frustration.

[websquadron]

Perfect timing as I was looking into this.

[MikeAzul]

Thanks so much for these comparisons! You're videos save my sanity haha

[PatchedBandit]

I have tried to troubleshoot obs audio snapping for days with no luck. Probably just easier to can it an pick another option.

[HopeMediaArm]

I don't understand why everybody advertise evmux, yesterday I have used it for my streaming, and by the way I have cancel streamyard because so popularity of this new one evmux, and I had lots of issues during streaming that I didn't have in streamyard.
1. It took me about 30 sec to go live, crazy :), on streamyard it takes 2-3 sec
2. During streaming my guests got disconnected very often, never had something like in streamyard
3. background guests audio was hearable I had to manually mute it one by one, by the way muting is crazy as well. On stream yard there is button mute and it takes just one click, in this one you have to click on tree dot then on audio take the bar way down manually, believe it takes lot of time when you live.
4. On branding section whatever I tried I couldn't change my name color, could change only name holder color, maybe there is option but I couldn't find
5. the logo - when I uploaded my logo it took up a fourth of my screen :)), really it is annoying, MAYBE there is option to change the size but I didn't find it
6. mirroring the video - it says on live it will not mirror, what is the meaning of mirroring if it is not usable.
ok I will stop here complaining about evmux :)), maybe it is good for you, just please, tell all the truth and do not mention that it is the best one on cloud based steamings, no it is not the best, the only good thing that it gives you 1080 instead of 720 and that's all. Next time I am going to try streamlabs to see its pros and cons.

[TheMentalHealthToolbox]

I am torn between mastering OBS or just coughing up the cash for Ecamm. I have a nice home studio setup. I do mostly interviews and education/tutorial content but looking to get into live streaming Q&A. I am pretty tech adept so the learning curve of OBS is not as much of a concern but time is…I have very little free time to tinker. Suggestions???

[thefoolsapprentice]

Would you say that this streaming software review for MAC still applies for 2024?

[UGuitarTutorials]

Great video. What about mimo? Ecamm is great but I can't record multiple cameras at once.

[HATIKVAHNEWS]

as a newbie, this was so helpful. thank you!
