Really clear: clean: no hype: no padding: just a good use of public time, by someone who clearly has a gift for explanation. A teacher. Few enough of them, in this medium: so thanks!!!

Bruh, there are so many rubbish, helpless videos out there with so many more views than this one. This is exactly what I was looking for and I will look at your other videos in regards to setting this recording setup with the rodecaster pro, thanks heaps legend.

Exactly what I needed to know about hooking up multiple cameras. Thanks for keeping it simple and not having annoying music blaring in the background. I am going to check out more of your videos.

Thank God this guy doesn't waste anytime with BS explanation. I'm clueless with obs, but now I understand the basics. Thank you! 👍

simple and straight to the point. very helpful. thanks for this video!

This is the best video on RU-vid for setting up multiple cameras and scenes! Subscribed!!

Came in clutch! Youre a great explainer of things - to the point with just the right amount of extra details 🍻

Damn bro,I almost spent money on a device I can probably do without because I couldn’t find any hardware /software solutions to fit the equipment I already have.you just saved me $500 plus dollars.You just got a sub and merch purchase.I’ll be sure to check out your other vids too!

I'm going for a job interview tomorrow who use OBS instead of Wirecast. It's a 4x camera PTZ setup who stream live events.. and this video has helped me LOADS - thankyou

insanely helpful, best video on this topic

Can i do this with 2 android phones? Or can i do this with a phone and a webcam like the elgato? Why do you need the cam link?

I'm just getting into learning this, and your video was the perfect introduction. Thanks.

Great simple no frills easy to undestand. Thank you.

BIG THANKS! CLEAR, CONCISE, VERY HELPFUL!

Super helpful! Does OBS have auto switching from 1 cam to another or is it we have to manually switch?

I am having an issue where I can get video feed from both cameras prior to choosing a Cam 1 but when I go to select cam 2 it gives me no preview and nothing is shone. Anyone else experienced this?

QUESTION: Are those El Gato Camlinks going into USB ports on separate USB Buses? That is, does your laptop have more than 1 USB Bus?

I tried to set up 2 cameras and record using your video as a reference but for some reason both cameras won't record at the same time. I only get 1 external camera and my laptops integrated camera. I am not allowed to use the other external camera, any thoughts?

Hey Doubt me, thank you for this video. I have 3 4k cameras with 3 camlink pros going into my macbook, the problem is, when I exceed 1 camera it begins lagging and the recording quality starts to fail in OBS, what is the problem here? I'm going into a docking station that then connects to my macbook, what kind of computer set-up is ideal and mobile to be able to do this podcasting set-up with 3 cameras? Thanks in advance if you can help! :)

Great explanation. Very easy to follow. Thank you so much!

Oh my!! This will be soooo fun! I’m brand new to this and it’s so very helpful! Thank you!

You're a beast dude! Thanks

Exactly what I needed, assuming you are using windows

Awesome. Straight to the point. Very well explained great content brother. ! I’ll see you up there my man

Is there a way to automate the camera switching using an audio trigger? So that when ever any one person is talking the camera will automatically switch when the audio goes past a certain threshold?

Thanks for sharing this greate tip brother......It has really helped me.

So Helpful. Thanks. Do you have a link to a tutorial on setting timings for each camera so they switch automatically?

So the two camera will be a separate file? Let's say when you cut the end product you can cut two cameras? Or it will be one file? I want to record podcasts same setup but 3 camera so therefore I need record all 3 cam

This is informative, Thank you I know now how to set up multi cam. Can you also make tutorials on how to multi microphone atleast 2 mics or more. Thank you

Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks a lot!

Thanks a lot for the great and helpful tutorials. One of the best 👌

I have a rodecaster pro. How do I get my podcast audio onto this exact same setup? Thank you .

Hi ! I wondered if you've ever had any issue in terms of crashing or USB, with two Cam link 4K going into a laptop. Do the go into the same USB Root Hub ? All good ? Cheers !

You are the best in the world subscribed 🤜✊👊❤️🏆🥇💣💥

Gawd damn man that was the easiest way to understand this stuff when you're a dummy like me! Thank you, and I will be sure to pay this shit forward!!!

Good info brother. My friends and I want to start a little podcast for fun. I already make youtube videos about outdoors and survival skills. This has been super helpful. Thanks so much for the easy to follow information and keep the videos coming man :)

Thanks so much for sharing. For whatever reason, after I attempted to add 2 cameras , I now have to reinstall the camera every time i turn on OBS. I can't seem to be able to install both anymore, They both are connected with a USB capture card. Do i need capture cards?

Thank you!

Is a physical "HDMI Live Stream Switcher" needed? If not? This is Awesome!! I have Canon R5 cameras. I like how quick and easy you present this video. Right to the point. Thanks!

6:00 can you also press a button to switch to the other camera?

Nice tutorial,I really love it...if I am planning to switch between 4dslr cameras,does that mean I need 4capture cards

Excellent video, thank you.

can you tell how to integrate different cameras?

Question so can do transition between sources but can you have specific source to have its own style transitions

Do I need a cam link? Can I not just use the utility software for 2 x M50 Canon cams?

Is there a 30min "streaming" limit when using the setup like this?

i have a question, what if one of the cameras cannot be close enough to the main laptop? if I was streaming a sporting event and wanted an angle from the opposite side of the gym, or such, how would I do that? if that is even possible (sorry if you already answered this question)

Will the audio jump or be smooth if I have the same mic selected on both scenes that I transition back and forth?

Good job 👏🏼 👍🏽 👌

sooo need to buy 2 Cam Link 4K.?? to have 2 camera??

Nice and clear, thank you very much!

Hey...Loved your video, But I have One Question Like Can Keep 1 Audio Source Only So For All Multi cams?

Thank you this just help me a lot 💯

Really appreciate this!!! Thank you

Hey! A couple of questions here. 1. What kind of Laptop set up do you have? Seems like alot of cables are pluged into it. Curious about that. 2. If I wanted to mimic this set up with a 3rd camera, how could I do that? Love the vid, great stuff! Subbed.

With an RX580 GPU, can I display two cameras at 50fps?

Ive been trying this but my second camera always shuts off.. what am I doing wrong?? help!!

Great info, thank you. Question on the sound set up. If your dual cameras are both set up with HDMI through the Elgato link, then when you switch cameras, does that mean it also switches the audio to be running from the camera selected?? I have a set up now with a sony X10 with the sound board from the church running into the cam, then the I can mix on the the cam the amount of sound board and room ambiance so give the sound a live but solid sound . If I add a camera in the way you have it set up here, I'm just wondering how that affects my sound. I hope this makes sense. thanks

thanks for this tutor.

Hey brother I use MacMini M1 computers Do you think I can connect 3 cameras using cam link and make it happen? Thanks in advance

Hi!.. what if I'm using multiple SJCam4000 with only a USB cable connections?.. Is the camlink still works?.. I'm using powered USB port but still, one camera is resetting.. Can you help?

Thanks for the video man! Do I have to have the cam link for each camera, or can I go directly from the camera to the computer via the cable? Something's not working right for me, and I don't know what I'm missing. I can get both feeds to work on each camera, but one is always overriding the other when they're both on. Might be the missing cam link?

thanks, although will it work if i just have a cheap webcam hooked up via usb cable?

so you have to manually switch between cameras at all times? there’s no auto switch i’m guessing

I added 2 1080p cameras to OBS, it freezes either 1 or both cameras after a few minutes, I have to unplug/plug to reestablish the video. I have an i7 16gb ram gtx1660 , I would think it should handle it. Any ideas?

I can't get any audios from my cameras. Even when I display all the camera settings info on the screen, it shows I'm getting an audio input into the camera itself as I can see the audio levels moving up and down, however the audio bars within OBS studios are static and when I watch back the recording there is no sound. Please can you suggest how to fix this issue? Many thanks!

Hi, I would to record music Videos in a studio setting with several IPhones! I am not planning on live streaming, even though I might end up doing that too.But for now, i just want record the session from different angles! Can this software record different camera angles simultaneously? So I can edit it afterwards! And can I start and stop the recording of all cameras simultaneously? And where would it be recording to? The Computer or the ssd of the camera itself? Or both? Thanks a lot! Cheers

Thanks for the info! What kind of camera are you using ?

Hey brother great video and perfectly explained! I have one question, My Omen gaming laptop only has one HDMI port so I can only plug in one capture card. Is it necessary to have two HDMI ports??

Hi, Can I add a second camera with a different IP address ? For a side by side recording with someone at a different location. thanks

Brother if we are streaming with 2 camera ok and In between I want to show video or photo how I can do that?means I want to minimise my web cam and want to show picture in bigger size

would you know which HDMI cable for a Canon m50 MK II to use thanks

Just now using OBS. Would the same logic would apply to adding remote sources? Like when everyone is using zoom or skype for example?

I really like to know how to run miltiple camera with power point using OBS

Just earned a sub! Awesome tutorial!!! 🙏

I need something that can do 8 cameras. Is this possible

Bruhh, dope video!

Hello! I have 2 Sony A7iii and 2 Elgato 4k Camlinks, I have hooked everything up to my MacBook. OBS recognizes the cam link, but when I select it is just a black screen. Any thoughts??

Thanks guys, this was very helpful. Your the best. One question, can I use a USB hub on OBS, I like to use up to 4 cams on one computer?

Sorry, 1 more. Would this work with a Macbook?

Great job on this vid. Keep it up!

Hi, Thanks for the detailed info. Just a quick question .Do you know if Canon EOS 70D can be used instead of a Sony Alpha A6600 Mirrorless Camera and Elgato Cam Link 4K is a must have to get the setup working ?

I’m looking to do a split screen between two cameras in OBS live-streaming to RU-vid. I have a 2019 16” MacBook Pro with an i9 and Radeon 5600. Will my set set up be powerful enough to run this?

What can I do if I don't have enough USB 3.0 root hubs to connect two capture cards?

If you're using webcams do you still need a capture card?

Hi there To connect the cameras to the computer it’s just using that hdmi to usb converter then? If 3 cameras so I need 3 those is that right ? I’m building s podcast setup but I only use canon rp, do you think the rp is capable of recording it? Thanks in advance

Hmmm cant seem to get my second cam to work

Hi,can you please tell me how to connect 2 dslr cameras if I don't have 2 HDMI inputs in laptop?I have 2 camlinks but I don't see 2 hdmi in my laptop.Thank you!

is there a short cut for scene transitions from your keyboard instead of using a mouse?

Legendary

You're awesome man. Subbed!

Do I need Cam Link for iMac to connect two cameras?

Can I just use obs to record overhead rig scene and record with a front cam rig no streaming involved?

Best tutorial out there!

What kind of computer specs to I need to do this without any lag?
