If you want to improve the quality on YouTube, use an external camera. Here's how my livestream
looks on my laptop using a built-in facetime camera. He're how my livestream looks on my
iMac using the external Logitech webcam. Here's how my livestream looks using the Canon M50
mirrorless camera. As you can see, the quality of the livestream improves with every camera,
with the Canon M50 being the best. In this video, you'll discover how to livestream
on YouTube with an external camera such as the Logitech webcam or the Canon M50 with
Ecamm Live software. Hi, my name's Herman Drost. If you want to grow your audience on

Here's how to go live using a 1080p Pro Stream webcam. No software or subscribers are needed.
All you have to do is plug the USB cord into the back of your computer, then mount the
webcam on top of your computer like I've shown here. Make sure your YouTube account has been
verified and livestream has been enabled. You can check if the channel has been enabled
for live streaming by going to youtube.com/features. Log into YouTube account, click the camera
icon, click "Go live", select webcam, add a title. I'm going to call this webcam test.
Select your privacy settings, public, unlisted or private and then select unlisted. You can
also schedule for later if you move the slider to the right. You can select date and the
time. I don't want to do that, so I'll just move this to the left. Select if your video
is made for kids or not made for kids. This case, it's not made for kids. You can also
select age restriction. I'm going to select "No, don't restrict my video to viewers over
18 only". Click "More options". Add your description in here. Select your category. I'll select
people and blogs. Here, you're going to select your camera.
I've got a FaceTime HD camera which is built-in, which is not working, so I'm going to select
my 1080p Pro Stream webcam. Click the link in the description below to download my live
streaming checklist. I'm also going to select my mic. I have a internal microphone, Blue
Snowball, Pro Stream Webcam, and obviously got a ZoomAudioDevice. I'm going to select
my Blue Snowball. Click "Advanced settings". You can to select
"Allow chat", "Not allow chat". I'm going to allow chat. "This video contains paid promotions
such as paid placement" I can just put that on. I'm going to switch it off for now. Click
the back arrow, click next, smile for a thumbnail, click "Go live". Now we're going live. Now
I'm live. At the top here, I've got live, I got how
long the video has been going, number of people on it and number of likes. Also, we've got
live chat here, so I've got participants, popout chats, toggle timestamp. I've also
got my chat here on the right, so I can just put something in there. Click here and it
says hello. If people are on the livestream, then they'll appear here on the on the right.
If I hover over the three dots here, I can also remove that comment. Down the bottom
here, I've got the mic. I can put that on or off. If I click on the arrow here, I can
share the link on social media sites. I can also embed it. Use the embed code and I can
also copy the link. After I've finished the livestream, I just click "End stream". "Are
you sure you want to end your stream?" Click end.
Here's a result of my finished stream. Got one playback, one peak concurrent, no new
subscribers, duration, total watch time, average watch time. I can also edit this in the studio.
In this case, I'm going to select dismiss. Keep watching, because I'm going to show you
how to improve the quality of your livestream using the Canon M50 and Ecamm Live software.
Here's how to go live with the Canon M50 and Ecamm Live software. You need a Canon M50
camera, other modern Canon cameras work just as well, a micro USB cord, Ecamm Live software,
external mic like the Blue Snowball and a Mac computer. Take the micro USB cord, and
plug the small end into the slot on the side of your camera. Take the other end and plug
it into the back of your computer. Do the same with the USB connection of your external
microphone. Make sure you've got a fully charged battery installed in the camera, before turning
the camera on. After you've installed the Ecamm Live software
on your Mac computer, you got to switch cameras from the Logitech webcam to your Canon M50.
Currently, you're viewing the picture on the webcam. I'm going to change to a Canon M50.
I go to camera, select Canon E0S M50. Here's a picture from my Canon M50. Doesn't look
so much better. You can also select your external mic. Just go to mic and click on Blue Snowball
or whatever external mic you have plugged into your computer.
If you want to schedule a livestream on YouTube, just click the drop-down arrow, click new
scheduled live, select your privacy settings. It would be public, unlisted, private. Add
your title, add your description, schedule your start time and select a thumbnail image.
After you've done all that, then just click schedule and you're ready to go. Click the
link in description to watch my demonstration of Ecamm Live software for live streaming.
Using an external webcam like the Logitech webcam is the easiest and cheapest way to
go. No software or battery is needed. You just plug the USB cord into the back of your
computer. You can also go live for as long as you like, as long as you have an internet
connection. You also get a better quality picture than using your built-in webcam. The
cons are that your picture quality is not going to be as good as the Canon M50 camera.
You also won't be able to bring in guests, videos, images, scenes, text, et cetera, like
you could do with the Ecamm Live software. What are the pros and cons of using the Canon
M50 with Ecamm Live software? You get a better quality picture than you can do with a built-in
webcam or an external Logitech webcam. It also works with most other Canon cameras.
You can bring in guests, video clips, audio clips, comments, images, sounds, scenes et
cetera. You can definitely set up a professional quality livestream. A recording of your livestream
is saved automatically on your computer. You can also use the camera as a virtual cam when
doing Zoom calls.
