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.
Hey Ecamm Fam,
If you've ever hosted a livestream by yourself, you've probably wished for an extra set of hands. Someone to watch the comments. Someone to switch scenes. Someone to remind you to hit record. But many creators are running the entire show on their own.
This week, we're asking the Ecamm Fam:
What's something you've learned about running a livestream by yourself that you wish someone had told you sooner?
From planning and audience engagement to mindset shifts and lessons learned the hard way, you'll find advice from creators who do it every day. Let's compare notes.
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.
In this pro tip video, Jill shares a simple way to use overlays in Ecamm to visually guide your framing using tools like the rule of thirds and grid layouts. Instead of adjusting your camera over and over, you can drop in a transparent PNG overlay to help you position yourself exactly where you want to be in the frame.
Most conferences are about watching. Creator Camp is about doing.
No big stages. No speakers who disappear after their session. Just three days of building, creating, getting feedback, and working alongside the entire Ecamm team.
You'll leave with more than notes. You'll leave with a system you can actually use.
