Going live isn’t just for the social influencers, news broadcasters and famous people of the world. It’s for anyone and everyone looking to share their experiences in real time in a fun, collaborative way. And now that it’s a feature on GoPro cameras, you can go live in scenarios and from POVs that you wouldn’t dare expose a smartphone or other streaming device to. Race cars, mountain bikes, skydives, jetpacks, wild animal parks-these are just a few of our favorite use cases so far. But that’s not to say live streaming from a GoPro isn’t perfect for studio scenarios and sharing streams from around the house too. It’s a compact, high-quality powerhouse that’s ready to share your life, from your POV, with as little as the GoPro app paired to a camera that fits in the palm of your hand. Using the GoPro app, GoPro Subscribers can live stream to an audience of their choosing via a private link. YouTube and Facebook require initial setup steps (listed below) for the first time you go live, so plan accordingly.Īll-in GoPro live streaming is compatible with the platforms below: You can also live stream direct to Twitch, YouTube™ and Facebook as well as to sites that accept RTMP URLs, which we’ll discuss later. Unfortunately, we cannot live stream to Instagram as the platform has not yet enabled GoPro live streaming capabilities.Not long ago, I wrote a blog post on how to get a single camera signal into your computer. This post expands on that and delves into the realm of connecting multiple cameras to your Mac or Windows PC for live switching and streaming! I'll cover what capture devices to look for if you are using a desktop, or a laptop. ![]() I'll also briefly review the most popular switching/streaming software, so you can zero in on what will be best for you. It's good to understand that every stream of video (i.e. Depending on the CPU, GPU, software and other factors, your computer may be maxed out by two cameras, or it might be able to handle six or more.Ĭamera feed) you bring into your computer requires resources. In general, newer computers with fast CPU's and beefy GPU's are going to do a much better job of handling multiple camera streams. If your application is mission-critical, I highly recommend looking into a purpose-built live switching system like those from NewTek or Acme Video Systems. For the purposes of this post, I will focus on a more piecemeal, DIY approach to live switching. Laptops with Thunderbolt™ either Windows or Mac, lend themselves quite well to ingesting multiple cameras.Ī Thunderbolt equipped laptop will allow you to connect an external capture device, such as anĪJA IO 4K, or an AKiTiO Thunder 2/3 PCIe Box. With the latter, you add your own PCIe capture card, such as a BlackMagic Design Decklink Duo 2. With the manufacturer provided drivers, your computer sees each camera as an individual input. With your live switching software of choice, you can then transition between cameras and create split-screen or picture-in-picture (PiP) effects. If your laptop does not have Thunderbolt, you are limited to the USB 3 bus, which necessitates the use of a hardware switcher (e.g. ATEM Television Studio HD, Roland V-1HD, Roland V-1SDI) to handle the camera feeds.
