I've watched a few videos on adding live video to keynote slides and this is the best and clearest one I've looked at. Well done

[outandabout_oz]

what a brilliant video, so nicely done, kudos 🇨🇦🇦🇺✌🏻

[williammullins]

I absolutely love how you deliver - natural, fumbles and all. I just recently bought a Macbook Pro 16 after having been a Windows user forever. I won't go back. Thanks for helping me with my learning curve!

[RebeccaLMorgan]

I love your style. Very practical and creative. And you're adorable!

[Stumperboos]

Thank you, this was wonderful and beautifully done. Your instruction was perfect, instructive and easy to follow, outstanding. I have been searching for how to do this and you answered all my questions.

The second half of this video is exactly what I was looking for. Your video was the first one I watched on this topic. Well done!

[Realjulioabdiel]

you just saved me from recording a video which would have taken 25-50% longer to edit without this. its 4 hours. thank you so much!

[erikturkelson]

This is the best video ever. Thank you so much. It was exactly what I needed and more helpful than I expected. Very professional.

[iyoutome]

[HomesickMac]

Watched the replay, yepp, it's your show, the Take 2 was cool. Well done and a great new set of options in Keynote. Will definitely experiment... Thanks Cat!

[phutloose]

Thanks for sharing! Very enlightening!

[RebeccaLMorgan]

Cat, I've watched how you do the custom move-in with the mask (around 12:00) about a dozen times. When I try to create what you did, my image sticks out behind the black shape. Got any tips?

Hey Cat, thanks for this video. I’m a bit of an old hand at Keynote but not really tried the live video feed until now. However when you were placing your camera feed into each slide I was shouting at the screen COPY AND PASTE … so I tried it afterwards and it’s great! Copy the live feed and paste it into the next slide - it pastes the same camera in the same dimensions in exactly the same position … great! Thanks again … loving your videos, very informative.

Thank you! Very Helpful... I didn't know Keynote has a live video feature ...

[subhashpangaonkar]

Wow…. It was a new perspective for effective presentation

[AndriotyCastillo]

Thanks a lot, really helpfull and easy to understand

[ThinkItMapIt]

Thank you for this video, it is very helpful. I didn’t realize Apple had made this change to Keynote either.

I just checked whether the Live Video feature was in the iOS Keynote as well, and it is. So you can create a Keynote Presentation on an iPad and add Live Video to the presentation. The only option for cameras are the built-in cameras, so you can have the front facing camera and rear facing camera in the live presentation.

By adding these features to Keynote, I think Apple is making FaceTime SharePlay an even better alternative to Zoom.
I for one think that the changes to Keynote are really great and using it with Facetime SharePlay might be a better option than Zoom at times. The Live Video feature also means I no longer am creating these animations, lowerthirds, titles, etc in Keynote and then adding them to OBS or CamTwist for a Zoom streaming meeting.

I think you can copy and paste the live video from the first slide and retain the settings throughout all slides (assuming you want the same settings throughout) rather than adding it each time
