Matt Haas runs a mortgage-paying content operation on 96 Stream Deck buttons, and this week's Kickstart wants to hear from everyone using Ecamm at in-person events. Plus, Creator Camp is just six weeks out.
Hi Reader,
We usually talk about Ecamm in the context of streaming, podcasting, and video calls. But we've been using it for something different lately, too.
At Card Party, we build a live stage and broadcast it "sports desk" style, so thousands of people watching from home get to feel like they're part of the action happening in the room. Same tool, pointed at a totally different kind of production.
That's got us thinking about Ecamm out in the real world this week. Matt Haas built a mortgage-paying content operation around it, plenty of you are running it at real, in-person events, and Creator Camp (an actual in-person event) is just six weeks out.
Meet Matt Haas
ana gil sits down with Matt Haas, woodworker, morning show host, and Amazon video creator running a content operation on 96 Stream Deck buttons, one that pays his mortgage. He walks us through the full setup and how Ecamm ties it all together.
Speaking of real-world setups, this week we want to hear about a different kind of real world.
COMMUNITY KICKSTART
Who's using Ecamm for in-person events?
We talk a lot in here about streaming, podcasting, and virtual productions, but we know plenty of you are running Ecamm at actual in-person events too: conferences, weddings, expos, product launches, workshops, church services, you name it.
If that's you, drop a comment with:
What the event was
What you used Ecamm for there
The one thing that surprised you most about using it in that setting
We'd love to feature some of these in a future post, so don't hold back on the details.
