hello and welcome to my livestream guide for using logi capture now when you
livestream you can use a webcam you can use the one built into your laptop or
Chromebook or whatever device you have but a much better way is to use the
logi capture device so I'm going to show you how to do that today the
logitech webcams are some of the best you can get and I'm going to show you
how to use it today for live streaming so give your live stream a title I'm
just gonna call it test one I'm gonna set it to private because I'm not going
to publish this and I'm gonna go down here and I'm going to confirm I'm using
USB microphone this one here and I'm gonna pick logi capture and you'll
notice I'm not seeing anything because I need to go and then open logitech
capture I've now opened Logitech capture so this fools YouTube into thinking it
it is a webcam device and it does allow you to do a little bit more and a few
better things as well so you can see I've just got a pointer down on my desk
it's thoroughly boring but there we are so I can use two screens which is really
good so I'm going to use my first screen as well so I'm using a laptop and I'm
using two screens so here we've got my laptop monitor and the YouTube and
Logitech capture are on my second screen so I'm going to go back here so we can
pull two screens into live capture which is great so I leave it on the preset of
streaming which gives framerate as the priority with certain Logitech cameras
you get auto focus if I put autofocus on
see it's starting to focus on my hand it does a good job it's really quick focus
on the background focus on the foreground the type of videos I do
that's very useful I can change my image settings I can
make them really bright I don't know why you'd want to do that if anything you're
going to make your image lower than default so if I click reset everything
goes back to the mid point are more likely to lower things than anything we
can have anti flicker turn it on or off I don't have the lights on at the moment
so it's not going to make any difference I'm in the UK so that would be 25 Hertz
would be the frequency of the lights so 50 Hertz would be the one to pick and in
other countries like America 60 Hertz would be the frequency to pick if we're
using an individual or product or anything and we've got it against a
solid background we can chroma key to get the background out and you can pick
your green or blue here I won't be doing that so I'm just going to turn that off
and in advanced settings we can do some flipping and it's quite useful to flip
sometimes although I'm not going to bother today so something I do is I like
to have a banner here and you can add this here so you can see it we've got a
text overlay here you've got a Logitech watermark and I think you can only add a
Logitech watermark I don't know why I would want that so I just got a little
lower thirds down here that's quite useful
I don't really bother with this although I can change my frame rates I'm gonna
put it to 30 because I know YouTube is more like to encode at 30 I can take my
sound from a different source but I leave it as default microphone here are
some keyboard shortcuts not especially useful and I can create a preset if I
want to so I'm just going to minimize this
and I'm going to click next and we're going to go into the live stream of my
desk so YouTube is going to take its thumbnail for the live stream you'll
notice it's backwards it's been flipped for some reason I'm not sure why it
flips it because when you view the live stream or the video created after the
live stream it's back the other way so I don't know why it flips it okay so we've
got a thumbnail and I'm going to go live so don't forget I'm going live and it's
a private video so this isn't going out to the world okay so we are live I can
do whatever I need to here and if I go down to Logitech capture I can go to my
second display and now people can see my screen so that's really quite useful if
I'm flicking backwards and forwards between screens and me and products and
things so using Logitech capture allows you to have two sources when one of them
can be a screen so it's incredibly useful using Logitech capture over just
a webcam or a camera and that's about all I've got to say really so I hope you
found that useful do let me know and thank you and goodbye
