Essential Troubleshooting Guide for Your Ecamm Live Setup

Published 20 days ago • 1 min read

Hi there,

We know technical hiccups can be frustrating, especially when you’re preparing to go live. Here’s your quick guide to resolving common Ecamm Live issues:

Camera/Microphone Problems?

Are you seeing a problem with one of your cameras, or hearing something weird in your audio? Try recording the same device in QuickTime Player! If the issue appears there, it’s likely a device or connection problem, not Ecamm Live.

Still not working? Try these steps.

  1. Try different USB ports on your Mac for a direct connection.
  2. If using a hub/dock:
    • Ensure it’s powered
    • Avoid connecting multiple cameras to the same hub
    • Use appropriate cables (not all USB-C cables support Thunderbolt!)

Interview Guest Connection Issues?

If guests can’t connect:

  • For individual guest issues:
    • Verify they have 5 Mb/s minimum upload speed
    • Ask them to try a different browser or device
  • If all guests have problems:
    • Toggle Interview mode off and back on
    • Restart your Mac
    • Close unnecessary applications and browser tabs
    • Quit cloud sync services like Dropbox

Experiencing Audio Issues?

When you're hearing double voices:

  1. Check the sound levels panel - only one input should move at a time
  2. Enable Echo Cancellation
  3. Use wired headphones or In-Ear Monitors
