Tip of the Week: When Tech Goes Wrong

This week, Katie's sharing what keeps her up at night: the tech. On Tuesday, while she was prepping for an in-person interview for The Flow, everything she feared happening happened. Watch as she walks through what went wrong, how she handled it, and what she learned about staying calm when your setup decides to revolt.

This Week @ Ecamm

Our video podcast, The Flow, is back on Tuesday at 12PM ET with special guest Paul Gowder, then Tuesday at 4PM ET David Paskin and Tatianna are hosting Ecamm For Educators and, of course, I'm hosting Office Hours on Thursday at 11AM ET.

Mariane's Multi-Purpose Setup

Mariane runs a planning and productivity community on YouTube, and she's built an Ecamm setup that adapts to whatever she's creating that day.

Most weeks, she hosts live "plan with me" sessions and quiet co-working streams using a simple three-scene setup: her main camera, an overhead desk view, and screen share when needed. She can switch between them mid-stream without breaking the flow. That way her audience stays engaged but the focus stays on the work.

For her podcast recordings and longer YouTube videos, Ecamm gives her the control she needs. She can see exactly how everything is framed, bring up prompts or show her planner when it's helpful, then go quiet during guided planning workshops when her community needs to focus.

What makes it work? The setup bends to how Mariane creates instead of forcing her into a complicated workflow. Whether she's going live, recording quietly, or switching between cameras, Ecamm supports her process without getting in the way.

If we use your video we will give you extra leaderboard points
