Better clip playback & screensharing in Streamyard (PCAM Tutorial)

Need a better way to roll clips into your livestream productions on Streamyard? Try using the two different methods outlined in this video. For starters, there's a trick to making video in Chrome tabs look good. And if you're feeling more adventurous there's an advanced option using VLC Player and some loopback audio from your computer.

Does this stops lag for viewers watching ?

Anyone have any suggestions how to fix an issue I am having where the audio for when I try and screen share youtube videos is really low? I have the volume up all the way in the chrome tab.

Hey Philly. Thanks for the video. I tried method number two but encountered two issues.:
1. With VLC full screen on second display, when sharing screen, SY doesn't see the video in the application window tab (it just sees the vlc player interface). I need to go to the screen tab to be able to choose the video. Small difference I guess but maybe it affects perfs (see point number 2).
2. Sound is good but playback is super choppy. This is due to having two Chrome windows opened with streamyard on it (even if one of them has camera off). If I just leave the the Clip Streamyard window open and close the other one, it plays fine. I have a 2017 MBP with 16G of ram and don't have anything else open. Not sure how you solve that.

How would i use the VB cable for streamyard in windows? Ive been using voicemeeter + vb cable for zoom meetings, but want to set up for streamyard using mic + interface for input & headphones, and want to use the vb cable as outlined in the video, would i be able to use voicemeeter in lieu of what you did on the mac

Hey there, this worked well, except that my audio and video aren't synced. Should I get Audio Hijack to fix that or is there a way with VB Cable or VLC?
