In this live stream, I'm going to be giving an overview of all of the features of the latest Ecamm Live update, Ecamm Live version 3.10. So I'm going to go through them all step by step, and then we'll come back to the live chat afterwards. So let's get into it, shall we? And I've even got a slide because, hey, they are new features. So let's just be perfectly clear about that. So I've broken them all down. Obviously, when you do the update in Ecamm Live, so if you are using Ecamm, if you've had it shut and you reopen it, it should just prompt you to install the update. But if you haven't, then if you've already got it open, personally, I leave Ecamm open all of the time. It's just always on on my computer because I use it for not just these videos, the live streams, stuff like that, but also for business, for my Zoom meetings, team meetings, and stuff like that. So it's always just on and ready to go. So if that is the case with you, then you might want to just go and click on check for updates as well. So there are really a ton of new features. I mean, it could quite easily have been a 4.0 release to my mind. Mind you, the 3.8 or 3.9 was a bit like that as well, lots of new stuff. So what I've done is I've taken all of those things and I've just sort of organized them. And so we'll go through them sort of step by step as they relate to these different things. So the first thing that I'm going to cover is really a thing in its own right, really. And that is the virtual mic. So we have had the virtual camera for some time now, but the virtual mic is basically going to do the same for the audio coming out of Ecamm, as the virtual cam does for the for the video feed. This is a pro feature. But I understand that if you contact them or go to renew your trial, if you're on the standard plan rather than the pro plan, you can get a two week free trial of Ecamm again on the pro level, just to try out the virtual mic. So definitely give that a go if you are on the regular version. It's a great little feature. And so what is the virtual mic and how do we use it? Well, let's go and have a little look, shall we? I'll just crop into my screen a little bit to make it a bit easier for you to see. So basically in the output menu, you've got this is where we've had virtual camera before. And so virtual mic, when you go to it, it will probably have a just a little box here that says install virtual mic. So you need to do that first, that is just to basically create this virtual microphone on your system and allow it to basically present everything that's coming from your audio out to this virtual mic and for your system to pick it up. So where is what is the use case for this? Well, basically, it's a bit like the virtual camera went into Zoom or Teams or whatever or Discord. Let's be current about this. Then that basically allows all of your video feed that you're producing from Ecamm Live to just go into those platforms. So that was great for most people to be honest, because most people wanted just to be able to have some of the production values that they've got in Ecamm going into Zoom. But then sometimes if you had like sound effects and things like that, and you also wanted those to go into Zoom to Teams to whichever platform it was, then then we would get into this whole thing about loopback. And anybody who's been in the Ecamm community could not have avoided hearing about loopback. And people either love it or hate it. And some people found it a little bit confusing. Some people found it complicated. And so it was just kind of another little thing that we needed. Well, really with a virtual mic, the majority of people probably won't need a loopback now, because basically all you're going to do is in Ecamm, just turn on that virtual mic feature. And then in Zoom, for example, you would just go and select the virtual cam as your camera feed, and you would select the virtual mic as your microphone. And then what that's going to do is your mic would still be feeding into Ecamm, just as it would be if you were recording or live streaming or something like that. But then Ecamm is going to feed that into Zoom, but then also any sound effects music stuff like that that you've got. So if you did want to do something a little bit higher production value, maybe you've got some movie scenes or something like that in your Ecamm live that you want to play in, or maybe you're doing a webinar or something like that, that you need to have music sound effects stuff like that. It's just going to mean that all of that is just going to go from Ecamm into Zoom. So it's a really great little feature. It just sort of completes that thing with the virtual camera that now you really have like everything coming from Ecamm can feed into any of those other platforms. So the one thing that you may still need to look back for is if you do need sort of two-way audio coming back into Ecamm. And it's a bit of a niche case this is. So I'm not sure that the majority of people are even going to need this, but just to cover it off in case. If you were doing something where let's say you were running a Zoom call with people in there, but then you wanted to bring in a guest using interview mode in Ecamm live, and you wanted to be able to feed all of the audio obviously from the interview and all the sound effects and stuff like that from Ecamm into Zoom. Obviously we've got the virtual mic now, but if you wanted the guests in interview mode to hear the people that were talking in the Zoom meeting, then that's the bit that we wouldn't be able to do without Loopback, because Loopback's got to route that audio back from the Zoom meeting back into Ecamm so that your guests would be able to hear it. Another potential instance where you might need it is if you were going to actually live stream a meeting where using Ecamm, so you were actually going into Zoom and you wanted to be able to say take questions and you wanted those questions to be audible in your live stream. So you say you're streaming to YouTube, but you've also got like a Members Only back channel or something like that where you've got guests there and you're talking, but you're like taking questions from the Zoom meeting as well as part of the stream that's going out to YouTube or wherever it is, maybe a private Facebook group, something like that, and you wanted those questions that the people were asking to be audible, then you would need to have Loopback to feed back from Zoom into Ecamm. But anyway, I'm interested to see what the further development is with Ecamm and Zoom, because certainly they seem to be talking a little bit, so it would be interesting to see what comes out in the future in that respect, because certainly there's some amazing possibilities with Ecamm and Zoom, especially because Zoom recently bought out a company called Liminal who make Zoom ISO, and basically what that allows you to do with Zoom ISO, you can basically go and pull out any single person's feed in 1920x1080 that's coming in over the meeting, and then you can actually have that as an NDI feed. Now what that means is, and you can have up to 100 people, what that means is with this particular thing you can basically have 100 people in a Zoom meeting, you can pull them all out individually and technically you would then be able to create a scene in Ecamm with any one of those 100 people, so you could have a panel of 10 people or 20 people or whatever and then be able to bring those in. But that's getting off the topic of 3.10, that's just something that I've been playing around with, and it would be interesting to see how that sort of develops as Zoom ISO more than Liminal had already got it to. So anyway, a bit of a distraction there, but that Zoom's one of my things that I use Ecamm for quite a lot. So anyway, let's keep on track and on with what we're talking about today, and that next up is overlays in terms of the updates. By the way, all of these actual updated features I've left in the description down below, so you can find them all in there and obviously you'll see them when you go to update the software as well. So the next one though is for overlays, it adds fly-in options for images, animations, countdowns, camera overlays and screen share overlays as well. So we did have some sort of fly-ins available for text overlays before, so you could have a text overlay fly-in from the left or the right, but they've now added in fly-in from the bottom, fly-in from the top, and they've also added that in for the actual every other overlay in fact. So if I was to come into my demo mode for a moment, and then I've obviously got my camera overlay here, so if I click on this little pencil icon, then you've got this new button here which says transition. So if I say transition and fly-in from left for example, and then if I was to just pop up to another shot for a moment, my over-the-shoulder shot, hello up there, and then come back to this one, then if I was to, in fact, no, I haven't set that one to hide, I beg your pardon, let me just come here a minute. Well that was a bit of a disappointing demo wasn't it? Like a firework that didn't go off, hang on a minute, here it is. It's when you hide it, there we go. So if I had it so that it was transitioning in when the scene starts, that should be flying in and out. Hang on a minute. Fly-in from left, now that is interesting, why is that not working? Just one second, let me try that again. This is a bit of a bad demo isn't it? It's a good job they not pay me to do this demo. Let me try it with another one, just one second, because this is a little bit peculiar, it was working perfectly fine for me. Now let me find out what is going on here. I've got a couple of little random things, here we go, this red square. So if I transition this one from left and right, I am on the beta though mind you, I wonder if that's it. No, oh there we go, that's worked. So that one has transitioned in and out, and technically that should be happening with this camera, but for some reason with this camera it seems as though, is it because it's, ah I tell you what it is, it's perhaps because, is it because it's locked, that might be it. Let me try that again. If I change the transition, that's it, it was because it's because I had locked the overlay. Silly me. Let me try that again, there we go, that's what I was trying to show. So it was as ever with me human error, it usually is human error with me. So let's just move swiftly on, but you can now add those transitions to absolutely everything that you've got, all of those different overlays. So you can have the yeah camera overlays flying in and image overlays, all that sort of stuff. So it's just the transitioning in and out of those things. So the next one we've got is overlays will now automatically align to other overlays when moved or resized from corners and edges. So let's just have a little look at that, shall we? And this one should hopefully work a little bit better. I'm resizing everything you see. I went and unlocked my overlay and look what's happened. Right, where is it here? This one. Okay so I've got these two shapes here and I've made them deliberately bold so that you can see what colors they are, so they can see where they are. You'll notice as I move it up to the edge we get this little blue snapping line up on the top edge and as I move it down to the bottom, I get one on the bottom as well. So it's these little sort of snapping to edges that you've got. And that is basically for any overlays, they snap on the vertical plane and on the horizontal plane. Incidentally, there is a little adjustment that you can make to this. So at the moment they are sticky which means that if you move them into place, when they actually get to that edge, they will sort of lock in place and as I move the mouse a little bit, you'll notice it takes a while for it to sort of snap out of that position. There is a setting in preferences which is for, where's my preferences gone? They've gone somewhere else. They're down here, there we go. You see I've got a bit too much stuff on my screen at the moment. In the preferences, so in the general tab, you've got automatic overlay alignment and you can turn this off. So if you don't want it to be snapping to these edges and things like that, you can always turn it off. But there is another option but you can either have it sticky or snappy and basically sticky means you move them into place and once you've got it into place, it will sort of lock it there. But if I change that to snappy, then basically snappy will, you just move it close and it kind of like jumps into place. You'll see what I mean in a minute. So here if I move it up, I just move it up to just close enough and then it will just sort of move it the last little bit. It's a really subtle difference but one of them basically is just going to do the work for you and just snap it into place. The other one is going to allow you to sort of position it right first and then if it is snapped into place, then the sticky part just means that it's a bit harder to sort of unstick it once you've got them lined up. Sticky is the default and I think that that makes more sense to be honest because I do get quite frustrated when I'm trying to move something and then I didn't actually want it locked on but it's just figured out like, oh you're close enough let me just snap it into place. So that is the difference between sticky and snappy in terms of those overlay alignment things that we've now got. So let me come back here for a moment and what are we up to? So we've got, I've just lost my place in my little notes here. So this is one, ability to hide and show overlays using hotkeys. So this is quite simple. We've had this before in other things but in the overlays, in the scenes tab here we've got these little symbols here with a little command symbol which is a symbol for I suppose hotkey. So you can add a hotkey here but we can also add a hotkey now for the overlays as well. So you'll notice next to all of the overlays down on the, I'm looking one way but it's actually over on this side. I should do that and pretend but on my screen it's on the other side. But these things down the side are for adding hotkeys. So if you click on this you can, let me just bring it away, we can see it, shall we? You can just type in a hotkey. So if you aren't using a stream deck or anything like that we could previously use hotkeys. So if you go into the scene, sorry into the overlays you would have some hotkeys that you can add in there but you'd have to go and do them all sort of manually using some other software or using the max built-in thing but this just allows us to go through to any specific overlay and just add a hotkey for it. I think am I just, have I come out of live demo mode? Yes I have. This is what I'm trying to show you. So here you can see that just next to the particular overlay we've got our little symbol here. So we can click on this one and it can and we can just click in here and assign a hotkey. So you can basically assign a hotkey to any of the the overlays that you've you've got. So let me have a look where we're up to now. So overlays be positioned behind locked overlays can now be manipulated. This one is really useful to be honest with you because I especially when you would have like a an animated overlay this one definitely needs another little demo. I'm going to be in and out of demo mode so do shout out if I inadvertently I'm not in demo mode when I should be. So this is a quite a big one really and this is to do with I've got to lock this scene again. Whoops a daisy. Let me lock my camera. I unlocked it you see that's the danger. As soon as you unlock something it's going to bounce go wrong isn't it? Right so here's these two shapes. So the red one is above the blue one and I can only move the blue one if my little hand symbol to move it is over the blue part but I can't move it when I'm obviously over the the red part because that's just going to move the red shape. Now if you think about this red one imagine this was like a big transparent overlay say it's my I've got one for example for my Buy Me a Coffee which takes up a lot of the screen or I've got one for when like somebody subscribes or something like that a widget overlay. So some of the overlays that we have are transparent but they're taking up a lot of the screen and previously if you'd got anything that was sort of behind it in the stack in the layers you wouldn't be able to move the one that was beneath it and so we'd have to sort of hide everything on the top to get down to the one at the bottom that we wanted to move. Well now really it's a piece of cake because all we have to do is if the one on the top is is locked so in this case I've locked this red square now I can still move the blue one that's behind it but this applies to obviously any overlay so if we have got some large transparent overlay on the screen we don't have to do that little work around of going and hiding it first and then moving the thing behind it and then unhiding the other one we can now just as long as all overlays are locked I mean if we've been good e-cam users and everything's totally locked then it's a case of just unlocking the one thing that we want to move and we will always be able to get to it no matter where it is in the scene so that is a really great little feature add for my yeah my estimations. So where are we now so overlays positioned behind done that one and the next one is adding in local JavaScript files as a widget overlay so widget overlays obviously had those for quite some time and they allow us to add in the previously it was just a web widget so it goes out to a web server somewhere pulling in all the information whatever and putting it up on the screen so something like a buy me a coffee widget but now basically if you've got these created and I've got some HTML widgets or JavaScript widgets that are on your computer then you can actually just drag and drop the file in and so they'll work just the same so they're just running locally now so that's a great little feature for those that use web widgets and one last little thing on that widget rendering has been updated to use m1 native version of chromium embedded framework I know you're all crying out for that it's one of those things that probably you might not have known about it but it it's it's going to help with speeding up on performance and stuff like that so yeah I'm not sure the total significance of it but I'm sure it's it's a welcome addition to some people righty ho so that is all there was for overlays I say all there was some of those are pretty big in terms of speeding up the flow of actually using these tools next up is audio and there was a few different things that were added in terms of audio so let's have a look at the the first one so ability to play more than one sound simultaneously in the sound effects window so previously it just ecam live treated any sound effect in the sound effects window and that is to say music sound effects it treated those all exactly the same and if one was playing and you went to try to play another one then the first one would stop and start playing the second one which is kind of logical really because if you've got one piece of music playing and then you go and start playing another one unless you're a super DJ and have started them exactly on time and they've both got the same sort of beats per minute then it's going to sound pretty horrible really so that's why there was just this thing so that they never never had that sort of overlapping but now what they've done is they've added the ability to play more than one sound effect at any given time however they've done some little bit of clever coding where they figured out the length of the track and if they have assumed that it is music because it's some sort of long track then they they don't allow those to play over one another whereas if it is a short track they'll allow those to play over the music or they will allow them to play over one another so how about I actually just come in and give you a little demo of this shall I so here we are in my sound effects and I've got some I've got a piece of music here so if I play that one and then I've got a sound effect now previously if I was playing the music and then tried to play the sound effect the music would stop just to play the sound effect but now I can play that over the music but if I go to play another piece of music then it's figured out that that first one was a long track and so it must be music so it's just stopping them from sort of overlapping one another so yeah another great little addition there and it makes working with sound effects you know if you've got some background music playing but you know you want to have like a little whatever it is air horn going off or some other sound effects I don't really tend to use too many sound effects do I but I know other people do so that will be a welcome addition for people who use those sorts of things in their in their live streams and next ones what I'm going to do is I'm going to move my little notes down here actually because there's quite a lot of audio ones coming up so I'm just going to go through it all right now and it's probably easier to just do them all in live demo mode so here we go so it also adds next and previous track buttons to the sound effects playlist so if you are playing a playlist well and by a playlist I actually mean a group so in in ecamm you've got a group if you have a just add this little folder in down here and so this creates a group and then when you've got a group of audio tracks you can either play them one by one or you can play the whole group and so if you play the whole group it's going to start with the first one and then it's going to work its way through them but now with the little cogwheel just here it's basically added these forward and backward tracks so you can actually skip forward and backwards through the tracks like that by the way incidentally this isn't a new feature but there is also this little loop sound file icon here now that either applies to the individual tracks if I was to come into this individual track I could loop that one or if I was playing it rather than from playing it in here I was actually playing it from the the group itself then clicking on that loop will actually just loop round through the through all of them so this is if you are going to have some sort of background music that's going to play through your entire live stream and your live stream is longer than the combined length of the music then that's what you do have some sort of looping now they've added these here but obviously these are a little bit fiddly to get to but the next one down on the list is they've also also added support for the play pause next and previous media keys so that means that on your mac keyboard maybe you've got f7 and f9 is skip forward skip backwards and f8 is play and pause so now those keys the apple media keys those all work for this as well so you can actually just sort of control the music from there as well the other thing is if I start one of those playing you can also see that it now displays the remaining time on the track that is playing so that is this one remaining time is now shown at the the bottom now this is actually good if you are somebody who changes up your if you do live streaming and you change up your intro music regularly and you want to know what to set your countdown timer to so that it's time perfectly with the music well this is now an easy way to do it I always used to just actually add the time into the the music in fact you can see here's one so this is one that I use for my intro and so I actually just name the file with the time in it so that I could see how long it was but now you don't need to do that because Ecamp will just tell us so if I wanted to know how long this track was there you go it's three minutes 50 seconds so that's quite a nice little addition from just being able to get that information about the track but obviously also if you are playing the music out or something then you've got this little visual cue to know how long is how long is left on it as well so where are we up to here so next one is you can see there's quite a lot of things related to sound effects actually so the next one is sound effects will now fade in and out when the sound effect mute setting changes so if I was to come in here and press this stop there's a slight fade you may not have noticed it but there is a slight fade so there you go it's that's what that is it is a slight fade out on the on the sound effects so the next one is add a checkbox to enable echo cancellation when using external computer speakers so there was always echo cancellation in Ecamp so if I come into the settings for a moment where are my settings gone there they are so in the audio section we always had echo cancellation and what that was for was if you were using your speakers on your Mac say you'd got a let's say you've got an iMac with built-in speakers something like that and so you were not using in-ear monitors naughty person always wear in-ear monitors when you're using Ecamp but if you weren't and you had these audio coming over your speakers then there is a danger that that could sort of bleed back into your microphone and then that could cause some slap back or just some generally bad audio quality so the echo cancellation was so that if you were using your built-in speakers it would remove that echo however what that didn't account for was if somebody got some other form of external speakers that were plugged into your headphone jack because Ecamp was assuming that if you'd got something plugged into your headphone jack then it was headphone so you didn't need echo cancellation so there was no option there to do the echo cancellation so if you are somebody who's got your mac mini headphone jack on the back or iMac with a headphone jack and you've plugged in some separate external speakers you can now use this option here to enable echo cancellation for external speakers so that's the distinction one is basically speakers plugged into a headphone jack and the other is for the built-in speakers on your on your Mac so that is what that one is for perfectly logical and you can see why you perhaps didn't think about that in the beginning but it's just now just gives us that extra level but again use headphones so then the next one is ad setting for pop over for scene sounds including an option to keep playing a scene sound when switching away from the scene right so this one is going to need a little bit of a demonstration you know that you can assign a piece of music to a scene let's hope that you know that one that is quite an easy thing to do all you need to do is get the piece of music and just drag it onto the scene and then now anytime i go to that particular scene this piece of music will play right so you could always do that before but what we couldn't do before was control anything about what happens when this music to play so what you can do now is you can actually adjust the volume so if i click on the little cog wheel up here i can adjust the volume of it in this particular scene and then i can say i want to stop it when this scene ends so now if i was to go to another scene let's say we go to my top down scene like that and then i'll come back to that other one and the music will start playing again now the flying works you'll see how the music has started again okay so then the other thing about this though that is good is i'd set that one to stop when scene ends but if i didn't do that then the music would start playing on this scene but then when i go to that other scene then the music will keep playing so there's that but then there is another great thing about this which means that you can actually if you add the music into the i'm just going to get rid of this flying if you add the music into the other scene as well so let's say i came into this particular scene here and then i added the music in here as well unlock the scene like this whoops so i add the music into this scene now as well you'll notice that the volume can be adjusted separately so now we've got the loud volume and i'll turn the volume even lower on this one but now if i come back to my main scene come back to my main scene and on this one i shall make the music louder because what i'm trying to get to here is if you had like an intro scene for example with some music and the music you wanted it loud but then when you go to the next scene you want it to duck down you can adjust this volume on a scene by scene basis so on scene one let's say i've got the music high like this but then when i go to the next scene it's faded it down to the level that it was at on that scene and then in this case i've got it stopped when scene ends but i could equally leave that and then just go back to the other scene and the music goes up again still didn't stop that transition so that's because i didn't unlock my camera again this locked camera is going to cause me some more issues by the end of the day let me just do that it's good we've got some little bit of music going on in the background isn't it there you go musical interlude so let me just show you what i was doing there again if we've got the music on this one and we've got it set to this volume and then on the next track we've got the same piece of music dragged in there and it's set to a different volume and then come back to this one again and it goes up again so it's basically a way to sort of simulate doing audio ducking effectively but doing it sort of like manually so that is what that final little feature of the of the audio was it adds the settings pop over for scene sounds and includes the option to keep playing when switching away from the scene but it also does include that separate volume slider so that's not explicitly mentioned in this in the release notes but that would allow you to do this ducking so i can certainly see how somebody as a say could have like their intro music then they want to go into like some initial intro where they're talking maybe have it lower down while they're talking and then go into the main body of their content you know whatever it is where the music's just going to fade out completely something like that so that is how i see that being quite effective and that just about wraps up the the audio section of their updates but yeah quite a few good ones in there too so let's move on shall we to scenes a few updates in the scene so the first one is it adds a button in the scene window to create an automatic scene group so this one we've always had folders in or groups i should say they always look i think of them as folders but they're technically called groups in the the scenes window so let's have a little look at this shall we zoom in again here we go so down at the bottom of our scenes window we've always had this one here to create folders and what some people did was create a timer to automatically transition to a new scene and so then you could create sort of multiple scenes within a folder and then the timer would transition between them well now what we've got basically is the ability to just do that automatically with this one down here which is this automatic group so if i just create an automatic group i'll call it test i have so many things on my computer called test let me duplicate this i'll just call this scene one now that is still for some reason popping out isn't it let me just get to the bottom of why that's happening it shouldn't be because i thought i'd unlock this scene hang on a minute let me sort this out because otherwise it's going to get a bit frustrating uh whereas it's unlock my camera there we go and then i'm going to click on the settings in here turn off that fly in there we go this is done now so that shouldn't happen again okay so let's say that this is scene one get rid of that let's call this scene one scene one and then let's say in scene two we want to duplicate it again but we want it to just be a bit zoomed in so obviously you know people sometimes do this don't they have a little zoomed in it could equally be just a completely different scene if you wanted to cycle between you know over the shoulder shot front on shot maybe you've got another shot somewhere else whatever it is so let me just make something different about this shot so that we can see it where are my camera effects i'm just going to zoom in a little bit on this one so there i am a bit zoomed in and then i'll come back here and i'm going to just drag these two scenes that i've just created i'm going to drag those down into my little test they call it an automatic group that is the term for this it's called automatic group uh and if i come over to this little cogwheel here uh here you can set a time and you can see it says advanced to and then there's a drop down but the default is next scene and then the time interval is whatever you want it to be and i'm just going to put this as two seconds and then if i just press play on this automatic group here if i press play then what it should do is it should be flicking back and forth between those two and you can see there's like a little clock we're in around next to it so you can see like how long basically you've got until the next one a little visual cue so that you could see you know is it likely to be uh switching over to the next scene soon and so that's what that's for i wouldn't recommend having it at set to two seconds it's probably a little bit too fast paced uh and in fact it's a bit scary when it zooms right in on my face isn't it um so um that is what that's for though at the moment it is a basically one time for all of the different scene changes so it's not on a scene by scene basis so if you wanted to do something where you'd got maybe you know 30 seconds on your main scene and then a shorter time frame on a second one that would still at the moment have to be done with um those countdown timers and and do it that way but uh this certainly just means that you can have a bunch of scenes and just a sort of cycle between them now if you have got lots of different scenes in here uh you have also got the option instead of advanced to next scene you can actually do random scenes so if you've got like a collection of different cameras something like that i'm thinking of you Keith Pelzer that you could have it jumping around between all of them and uh choosing whichever yeah you know just choosing one at random from your from your list so that is what the uh what that particular feature is so let's come out of this demo mode for a moment and i'll switch back to this one and uh i've gone back to come back to this scene that i hadn't corrected let me just quickly fix it on this one as well that's the problem with duplicating scenes and making changes i didn't make the change before i duplicated it one second there we go i think i'll fix that um i think what i'm going to do is i'll just finish off these ones for this scene section and then i will jump into the questions because i can see there's a few questions um so let's have a little look um adds option for movie mode and animated overlays to pick up where a movie left off instead of playing from the beginning so uh and the uh let's have a little look at this and the remaining playback time is now displayed in the scene picker uh in the top corner of the main window so uh let me show you what these ones are as well and zoom in and come to this um what i think i'm going to do actually is if i just grab this because i've been doing something with these things just uh i'll talk about that in a moment but i've got a little sample file that i can drop in so if i come into here and i'm going to uh just create a new uh empty scene uh new empty scene and i will uh then just drag in this movie file and i want to just i want to make sure you can still hear me i want to mute my movie uh so basically now we uh we've got a few extra controls on the screen so this is basically using a movie as a scene source but this actually applies just as much to um animations as well previously the behavior was that the uh the movie files you could choose whether or not they autoplayed and in fact that is done in here in the preferences there is one in here for um is it in video there there you go that is video settings and then you've got autoplay video files so that is uh when switching to a video so if you've got a video as a a source of a scene then the default always used to be to play like autoplay um but it would always play from the beginning and so that meant that if you switch to another scene uh and then switch back again then you'd be starting to play the movie from the beginning again so what they've added in is this uh little button down here which disappears when i try and zoom in on it but it's this one here so you've either got start from beginning now um or you've got start from last position and so start from last position is basically if i start playing this and then i switch out from this scene um but then i try and go back to that scene he says finding the the correct pedal on his uh under his feet but go back to that one it's just basically picking up exactly where it left off and it's stopping the stopping the movie from playing but when i go back to it it's now picking up from exactly where it left off instead we've also got this other little button here that is exactly the same so that's either do nothing loop video go to next scene or end broadcast so this always used to be over on this side but this one is now being replaced so this is the one that is what is controlling what is happening when it plays out and this is what happens when it plays in you'll also notice just just up here at the the top right hand corner sorry the top left it also tells you how much time is left on the movie that is playing as well so that's what that last thing was on the list which was um remaining movie playback time is now displayed in the scene picker so that's where the thing that that is talking about um so what i'm going to do is just have a quick look through because i've been rattling on for quite some time i just want to see if i've missed anything in particular about the stuff that i've covered so far um the difference between yes sticky versus snappy it's a very subtle thing to be honest i think most people probably wouldn't notice but uh you know what i'm like keely hey sammy great to see you let's have a little look hey aubrey great to see you too and felicia oh we've got all the lovely people in today and let's have a little look and eileen of course great to see you too uh michael i know yes uh my my djing skills i'm not known for my djing skills a rich david uh the nashville life hello the nashville life what's your name just so that i can address you properly can you use air pods for in-ear monitors or is there too much of a bluetooth lag you can use air pods um it's always recommended to to use wired headphones uh whenever you use your headphones but you can use them i don't know about the lag to be honest um oh well here we go this is the this is the benefit of having awesome people uh so um let's have a little look i thought i'll be honest with you i thought that keely had got the i was reading ahead and i thought that was going to be uh the answer there but um uh because i know that keely sometimes uses it uses it air pods um so hey paul great to see you and calip great to see you too is that about the the lag perhaps let's have a little look if that's about the lag then uh uh that's that's good to know uh when i'm live streaming how do i add a wrench to somebody that i want to watch the chat for me ah right let me show you how to do that very quickly let me come over here and i will go to um this screen sharing a minute so uh in your youtube chat um if you go next to any person's name you'll see these uh these little dots and so you just click on the little dots and then you've got the options either go to their channel pin their message report remove put user in timeout hide user on this channel but it's this one you're looking for michael which is ad as moderator and so that's how like anybody in the chat you can just go through and click on them and either add moderator or you know if keely started stepping out of line then i could remove moderator status uh but to be honest i didn't do that so let me come back but that's how you uh that's how you do it let's have a little look um ah right so keely only uses air pods not when actually uh streaming got you um ah no sir about the next scene putting it at zero one interval ah you mean speeding up a bit i see right right yes that might be a little bit too quick a little bit too quick um so that is all for the uh the scenes though so what i'll do is i'll i'll get going but before i do get going if you want to learn more about uh ecamm live i i have and specifically this version i have now created my ecamm live masterclass so i'll just touch on that for a moment because um the ecamm live masterclass came out of for those that have been following along my zoom masterclass my zoom masterclass was going to have a massive section of ecamm live because that's how i recommend people get the best results out of zoom and then as i was building out all of the videos for my zoom masterclass but all the ecamm videos i realized that that was really such a massive part of it that it warranted being a i think in its own right really so uh that is why i ended up creating the ecamm live masterclass so it's ecamm live masterclass.com that actually just redirects you to my main website which i'll be talking about later because i've done a little bit of redesigning of that as well um but it's um another reason why i did it is because i've got this really long video on my channel and it's actually one of my most popular it's four and a half hours long and it's my zero to hero with ecamm live and that was done in version 3.8 and then we've since had version 3.9 and now version 3.10 has come out so there are quite a few changes so i wanted to make sure i've got some resource where i know that everything's always going to be up to date so the ecamm live masterclass is um basically it's fully up to date with version 3.10 so it's everything that we're talking about here and all of the existing features as well um but in addition as ecamm live develops then this will be one resource that is continually updated so i'm going to maintain this any new updates that come out the content will be constantly updated and fresh and it's also not repurposed content so i haven't just gone and taken a load of old youtube videos and thrown them together to to create a course i have actually made all new content for this so that it's all consistent and it's all all up to date so let me just quickly show you this while we're while we're here so this is what you'll see the ecamm live masterclass once you actually sign up and basically it's all on demand so it's not like a thing where you have to be there at a specific time there's no zoom calls associated with it it's all just purely on demand and i've got 12 categories so first of all we cover the basics so that's from it's obviously taking people from completely new beginners at ecamm live all the way through to you know everything as you'll see as i go through the different topics um so we've got the basics then talking about using ecamm live for live streaming then using ecamm live specifically for recording then using ecamm live for meetings so in that one i go into things like you know using it with zoom using it with microsoft teams using it for discord as well next we go on to interview mode so all the things about that there's a lot more to interview mode than just bringing people on you can also use it to for example have people guest presenting so where you're bringing their camera in but then their slides in as well or it could be that you're actually just producing something for somebody where you're not even involved in the actual you know on-screen hosting of it you can use interview mode to bring somebody in bring their guests their slides in so if you are somebody who's maybe working with somebody else and you just want to present their content for them or you want to do some freelance work sort of doing this for other people then you can do all of that with interview mode have it feeding out to their zoom webinar or whatever wherever it needs to go and so there is a lot more into interview mode than just the sort of the basic features that you might be aware of you know bringing someone onto your live stream so that warrants a section in itself there's another section on advanced use of the all of the other features so the advanced use goes into some of the stuff that we cover in the basics but then goes into them a little bit deeper but then also it adds in some of the new features and additional features that maybe you just wouldn't really cover in advanced usage now let me just quickly drop something in the chat because it's a little secret squirrel thing for anybody in the chat there we go so the so then the next one is using it with presentations so for Ecamm live one of the main uses that I use it for is with zoom calls and teams meetings and a lot of the time that involves actually presenting either things in presentation format obviously not just slides with me as a talking head in the corner talking about it but immersive presentations I'm talking about and still using Ecamm with PowerPoint with keynote but doing it in a much more sort of natural and immersive way so I've got a whole section that is specifically about that next section is specifically about preferences and menus so just going through all the preferences I obviously talk about them in all of the different sections so where we're talking about things that relate to preferences then I do cover them off in there as well but it is useful just to have as a sort of go-to guide where you can just go and see like well what are all of the different preferences and find them out there one by one and obviously as Ecamm goes forward and gets updated then are we keeping this up to date as well so just like in this update we've had a few changes and updates in the preferences section you'll know that this is always a resource to go to where you're going to have the you know the the latest information on how to use it properly next is Stream Deck and Loop Deck so obviously I'm a user of both of those so I talk about you know what they are how to use them how to set them up some best practices how to create icons for them all that sort of stuff as well creating graphics with keynote we can do an awful lot now with Ecamm and we don't need to create you know sort of overlays with borders and things like that as we used to do however there are still a lot of things that we that we could do with with keynote for you know like lower thirds for example so if I wanted to say something like this if you're liking this video then where is it gone then you can always head over to my Buy Me a Coffee page so that little animation is something that I made with keynote if you want to be talked through that one-on-one then I do offer consultation calls so that is another little overlay that I created in keynote so I cover how to build those sorts of graphics so then we carry on and in the next section there is a section on on-screen skills so I do make all my videos in one take obviously this is a live stream but all my other videos are making one take all of the course content I've made with Ecamm live and that has also all been done in one take and so some of this has come from sort of presentation skills that I've had from you know other areas of my life and then also some public speaking experience and things like that so this is the section where I sort of share some little tips on how you can how you can basically improve your sort of on-screen presence maybe if you're somebody who doesn't feel comfortable in front of the camera then this section is going to help out with that and then finally sort of our next steps and although those are you know only 12 sections hopefully you can see that they cover quite a lot but actually when you dig into them in fact here you go there are 70 lessons up there at the moment I have got another 35 to upload most of those are done I just was too busy building the website yesterday if you want the honest truth so most of the others are done I'll be uploading them later today and then the rest will follow either today or tomorrow but so this is just going into the basics section and you can see how many videos there are in here and the way that I've split up these sections so first of all tour of the user interface for people who are completely new to Ecamm live then we go to intro to overlays camera overlays image overlays animated overlays so I've split it down literally into all of the different components so if there's something that you want to know about then as I say you can always just go back in here and look and find the resource and as Ecamm gets updated then now guess what as they update the screen share overlays for example you'll always know where to go to find out you know what the latest features are or if you're using it correctly so there's really quite a lot of content and then basically for each of these ones so like if I was to go into the overlays section for example and have a look at we want to know something about animated overlays so you click into here and then it's basically just loads up all the videos for that section this one's around about 13 minutes long and so we could just play it from there and you can watch in there look you can see I even put a shirt on for you and then there's all the other videos in that particular section so you can just sort of work your way through them and it does tell you as well so I've just noticed some little loram ips and text there as you can see it's still got a couple of little adjustments to make but basically it's yeah you can see how many how much of it you have completed so if you just sort of work through you'll know how far you are through completing it so that's basically what is involved in the course and I'll drop a link in the chat as well in fact I see keely's already done it and it will be in the description but it's 147 dollars and that's lifetime access for all the updates for you know for all of the future updates of ecam as well I'll just constantly keep this up to date as a resource and I am still releasing my zoom masterclass which will come next probably end of next week but then anything anybody who buys this will just automatically get this off the cost of the other one as well so there's nothing to worry about there that people would be getting this free with the zoom masterclass but if you buy this one then I'll just discount that from the the zoom masterclass so that is just my little aside if that is of interest to you then definitely head over to zoom master ecamlivemasterclass.com or you can have a head over to my website I'll be talking more about the website a little bit later as well because I have made some changes to my take one tech website you can also find this there so you can always just go to takeonetech.io and head over to the store page and you'll find this course there and the other courses that I've got planned to roll out roll out over the coming weeks and then also all of my icon packs and stuff like that or you can go over there and book a call with me as well so that is the ecamlive masterclass I'll just see if there are any questions popping up related to that um let's have a little look uh so thanks keely for popping the link in ah so keely you were you were one of the glottons for punishment who watched my four hour tutorial the reason why I made that four hour tutorial is because basically that I mean that the course should hopefully resolve this that you have got one place that you know where everything is and you can see how far you've got through it I always found when I was trying to learn things if I went over to um to youtube for something that was more complicated like you know a piece of software then um you would end up sort of not knowing if you'd covered everything off so there's loads of great videos online about all sorts of things but if I'm wanting to learn something then if I if I I always think like did I miss something because I've watched all these little you know snippets of videos 10 minute videos here five minute videos there and stuff like that did I actually get everything that I need to know is anything missed and so that's why I created that four and a half hour video and um it has been it's been quite popular I wondered if anyone had watched it but yeah apparently you and some other people have as well um and and just taking people through a sort of logical process but this the the course makes removes the problem problem of basically that four hour course that four hour video is now totally out of date because it's it's telling people if you want to make borders like I've got here for example you need to do that in keynote whereas you don't at all you can now just do that in ecamp so having it as a course structure that I can just keep up to date just made totally totally totally made sense um let's have a little look um oh thanks thanks David and hello doll whip dad what's what's your name I always like to get people's names so that I can I can address them properly and yeah keely makes a very good point uh whoops daisy wrong one but thank you very much Paul for pointing that out uh yeah I will be on uh uh doc's stream which has been taken over by the lovely keely for the next I think three live streams in fact so we'll be talking about talking about the master class but also talking about discord as well so uh yeah um oh thank you Felicia appreciate that um so with that little aside out of the way obviously if you are interested in the master class you can always head over to ecamm live masterclass dot com um but for now let's just crack on shall we with the other updates for ecamp and so let me see where they are there we go whoops a daisy oh there was my cue to talk about the ecamp live masterclass I missed my slide never mind streaming so what changes have they made related to uh streaming in ecamp live let's have a little look shall we um it is so there we go so they've added support in for one stream as a live streaming dot destination so one stream is basically if you've uh familiar with restream.io or the uh the other one which always escapes my memory there is another one I always use I always previously used restream well now they've added in one stream if you are an ecamp live user then you can head over to the perks page because there is a discount which I think is 25 so if you want to use one stream or check it out then there is a perk on the on the ecamp live page by the way if you sign up to the ecamp live masterclass my masterclass I've also got an offer code on there that you can get if you want to try out ecamp live you get the regular trial but then I've got an offer code that you get the first two months free so if you're not an ecamp live user you can use that and then basically you'll start the billing cycle but you don't get billed for the first two months and so that means that you've got an extra two months basically to try it out and you can cancel at any time um but that is a digression the one stream live is the live stream the multi streaming platform that allows you to go out to uh if you want to stream out to your facebook your youtube and twitch or wherever it happens to be all at the same time then you can use one stream to do that there's a bit of debate about whether people should stream to multiple different platforms everyone's got their own opinion on it that when I started my youtube channel I just thought I want to reach the maximum audience so let me stream to all of the places so I promptly set up accounts with all the different platforms and set up restream and started streaming to all of those different places but I've kind of come to the conclusion that um it is best not to fragment your audience and everyone can all be together and talking together so I haven't used restream for the past uh I think nearly a month now something like that so I'm just really just only going out to out to youtube um but anyway if that is up to you uh the other thing that has been added is that twitch chat badges uh have now been added to the comments window so uh perhaps these were not there before or obviously they were not there before uh but now twitch chat badges have been added to the comments window uh so that if people are uh using those things in twitch then they will come through on your on your chat another one which um I know has caught a few people out so it's good that this is there it adds support for automatically complying with amazon lives video bitrate requirement so this is related to um there isn't amazon live built in obviously to the destinations in ecamp so we've obviously got facebook youtube twitter twitch all those sorts of things there isn't any an amazon live um uh destination there however if you're going to stream from ecamp to there you would use the um uh um the the little acronyms to slip in mine now not I want to say smtp but that's not it is rm rm uh the streaming key if you stream to amazon live you'll know what I mean the uh streaming key uh feature on ecamp so that you can stream to that destination well now it will figure out if you are um streaming to amazon live because they've got some particular bitrate requirement for that um that sometimes would cause problems if people were trying to use ecamp to stream to ec uh to amazon live so now basically ecamp is doing the uh the figuring out part for you and we'll make sure that that bitrate is all uh is all correct and so that is what they've added in uh rmtp rtmp thank you very much Eileen I've been sorting out my email since I uh moved over my uh my website from square space to kajabi where I've been setting up my new website and all the the core stuff I seem to have broken my uh my uh my email so I've been fixing that yesterday so I had smtp on my on my mind um but yeah rtmp is the it's the one I've just noticed hello dale just noticed you jump into the chat hello great to see you and uh so that is it for the streaming updates so next up is shortcuts and this is an entirely new section really because they've now added integration with the mac shortcuts application and if you aren't using shortcuts then um uh well you're in for a treat with that it has been on ios for a quite a long time now um but now they've finally bought it over to the mac as of uh monterrey I did do a series all about shortcuts and in fact I've got uh I've got some more videos to make in that series um talking about all the sorts of different things that you can do with shortcuts but basically allows you to do um automation are on the mac and uh it's quite a nice little interface that allows you to uh basically uh create all sorts of different automation so let me just he says scrambling for the preferences uh let me just share with you the uh preferences once more and I will show you what I'm talking about so whoops a daisy have I uh no I don't think I did anything hang on a minute I thought I thought for a minute I pressed the wrong button but uh I didn't press any button there we go so here we are with the the preferences so now we've got this completely new section of the preferences which is this shortcuts over on the top right and here what we've got is um you've got the ability to trigger different shortcuts when certain things happen and I'm guessing that as things progress with ecamp this is only going to get built out and get more powerful so if you've got any ideas for particular triggers that you might want to see in terms of ecamp then definitely go over to the the beta group and drop them in there because I know that they are looking to see you know how this can all be developed further but basically the moment we've got four different triggers in ecamp so the first one is uh when ecamp live opens we can trigger a shortcut so one thing that you might want to do in here is uh let's say uh when it opens and this by the way is just going to bring up all of your shortcuts so this is all the different shortcuts that I've got at the moment in my shortcuts app so if I was to click in here you could say that I want to say um quit apps personally I wouldn't do this because I leave ecamp live open all the time so ecamp live opening and quitting aren't going to be ones that I use but I'm just giving you an example if you if you are someone who opens up ecamp live only to do your live stream then you might want it to quit a whole load of apps so I've set up a shortcut quit apps which closes down things that might show up bandwidths or processor and stuff like that so that would be the the workflow for this then maybe when your broadcast starts maybe then you want to make sure you're in do not disturb mode so you could create a shortcut which is do not disturb on and then when your broadcast finishes let's say you want to turn your do not disturb off so you create a shortcut which turns do not disturb off and then let's say when ecamp quits you want to open up all of those apps that you just closed down so these are um these options that you get here will be specific to you so that is because I have actually been in created a shortcut that I've called quit apps I've created a shortcut called do not disturb on do not disturb off and open apps so it can only use something that you've created ecamp can't do this for you this is all just leveraging the power of shortcuts as I say I have got an intro to shortcuts a beginner's guide to shortcuts on the channel and but also check out there was a great live stream that doc did with matt cassinelli that was it was his regular hour spot that went on for three hours and did a really deep dive matt cassinelli is just awesome with shortcuts he was I believe marketing manager or somebody at least at the the company that was shortcuts before apple bought shortcuts so yeah he's got a bags of experience and huge resources there so I'm not going to cover in this live stream how to actually create shortcuts because as I say I've done some of that already on the channel but that is just to know that now we've got that in ecamp so you've got all these different triggers so what you might want to think about as well is what other triggers might you want to have some things might be you know like when a guest joins or it might be when you switch to a specific scene maybe you want something to happen then and with shortcuts you can do all sorts of all sorts of crazy stuff I mean you can have it linked to things like if this than that you can have it linked to lights that you've got you know if you want it so that when somebody gives you a thumbs up or a like or something on the channel maybe you want to have some like flash or something like that there is there's no end of possibilities of what you can do with shortcuts it's just a case of thinking about the triggers that we potentially want to put in as requests for ecamp to add in so let's keep going though and have a look at a few other of these things that have been added in so that was shortcuts so then the next section is really the sort of last but not least in terms of the updates and that is other it's all of the other ones that would did not fall into any of those categories obviously so one of them is add calendar selector to the scheduling windows date picker so before you could always just go in and type the date in the scheduler so if you ask we're scheduling something whereas now it's just included that sort of you know the I'm sure you're familiar with a calendar picker before when you can select the date like that so that is one of them next one is function keys f1 to f12 can now be used as hotkeys so before when you could select specific you know hotkeys and things like that those you just weren't able to use those whereas now you can next one is connected iOS devices will not start running as a video source until they're picked in the switcher or used in a scene so it used to be that when you'd plug your iPhone or iPad or whatever in then it would almost just sort of jump straight away to start the the video source from it whereas now you actually have to manually sort of specify that so it doesn't just start streaming it straight away and then let's have a little look I've just skipped forward in my little notes or back so updated the loop deck plugin and the stream deck plugin with support for those automatic scene groups so those ones that automatically cycle through now you can just actually have a stream deck button which which would expect really to be able to actually just start that so let's say you'd created one of those automatic groups so if you remember that was this thing that's basically just flicking between these two different scenes this one well now that actual automatic group I happened to have called it test so now I could just actually select that particular automatic group from the from the stream deck or from loop deck the the other thing that they've added in is also the the ability to switch profiles so this is something that I had previously been doing with a keyboard maestro shortcuts so that when I yes it was part of my sort of workflow so when I'm switching over to make my take one tech videos I'd press a button and it would do the thing of actually switching my ecamm profile back to to my take one tech and then you could switch to other profiles you obviously can't do this when you are live but because you don't want to be switching profiles when you're live but they have now just added a stream deck button so you will need to just update your stream deck but you'll be prompted to do this when you actually log in let me just get that little thing out of the way corner there we go so now in stream deck look I've deleted one of my buttons just to leave a little space to show you down at the bottom I can say this every time but look how many actions ecamm have put into the stream deck I mean it's so amazing that they've just totally embraced it there's a few others that want to see in there one of them is turning on and off video monitor if you're watching I've got to drop that in the in the the chat for the beta group because I do have a shortcut to do that so my virtual monitor or what's it called video monitor that I have for my to go out to my teleprompter from ecamm so put in the ecamm video out I do have a keyboard maestro one for that so we could have a built-in one but here you can see that just down at the bottom we've got this new one here which is switch profile and then you just drag that in and then you can just pick it will just obviously you know how this works by now surely it just pulls in a list of all of your different profiles so these are all my different profiles and then I can just pick one of those and it will just switch to it you can also obviously use this as part of a multi-action so if you have got a particular setup procedure or things like that then you could just add this all into a into a multi-action so that it switches profiles does all the other stuff and that or another good one is actually if you've got profiles on your stream deck so this is my ecamm profile you could actually have it on the button that you use to switch to the ecamm stream deck profile could also at the same time have this multi-action to switch to your ecamm profile on ecamm as well so that would be another way to incorporate that but in any case let me come back to you so that is almost the last one we've got two others so first of all ecamm live now uses version 5.1.1 of newtex ndi framework so that's just keeping things up to date with the latest movements in or developments I should say in in ndi and the last one is ad support for voiceover accessibility apparently so this is something that's not needing this myself is something that's one of these things that you just don't know about if you don't need it but apparently there are a lot of people who are using the voiceover because they're visually impaired and it's actually made ecamm accessible for them where other software that does similar things is just not and I heard ken and glenn talking about this on their live stream that they did yesterday and yeah it's just really nice to hear really that these that they're putting in this thought and attention to it and it is actually making a difference to people using it so that is all for the updates as I say all of these different updates are included in the in the description for this video go and get the update and have a little play around with it and now what I want to have a little talk about is if I've got my slide is my website update so I have made really a complete rethink of the website in fact before I come into this let me just double check if I've missed anything in the chat because there may have been some questions about that let me have a little look I think I caught most of them cool oh well I think I probably missed Michael but if I didn't good night good evening for you keely will add a vote for the video monitor yes it is it's it's just an extra little step isn't it so that's so poor you had a little fix with the ecamm live not communicating not communicating with stream that I had that on and off in fact was it my last live stream yeah I didn't live stream last week and but then the week before I did it without my stream deck because I had this communication issue and there was no fix for it for me it just rectified itself I tried everything I tried changing the cables I tried changing the ports I tried rebooting I tried doing all of these other things I tried resetting the PRAM which was always an old-school thing that we used to do on max and then I only discovered afterwards that the M1 max don't have PRAM but anyway I tried literally everything and nothing I could do would make them talk to each other and I had it running with just the Mac with just only the stream that plugged in swapping the cables around doing all of the usual stuff and yet nothing fixed it and then it just miraculously started working again and then it had it had it had it again I've had it sort of three times where it's happened so I'm not quite sure what's going on there but if you've had the fix put out then that's that's good because it all it's all working now as you can tell so I'm pleased about that but yes so anyway let me get on to the website because I've made a few changes so I'm always interested in in thoughts and feedback oops Daisy wrong one I'm always interested in feedback on these sorts of things so let me come over to my website and what my plans with it are as well so I should have had this queued up shouldn't I really I thought I did have but never mind now that's interesting it's actually coming up exactly as it was before where am I getting myself all lost now I should have definitely had this up ready let me try this one hmm that's interesting it appears that it is coming up exactly as it was before to my square space one what's going on there let me just come up in it I'll try again oh well this is very strange let me try with a private window let me see if that works that would be a bit annoying if it's suddenly decided to revert back to how it was just bear with me one second hmm very odd ah there we go I wonder why that's happening maybe it's just cached in my computer maybe that's what it is right so perhaps it's perhaps just to answer your question flea shit there certainly is leave it with me I'll message you on the back channel and let me know what your colors are and I'll sort that out um let's have a little look whoops Daisy where's it going is this one um right so here we go so that is what my site used to look like this one so I've basically just completely revamped it and the reason is the course content that I've created I'm making in kajabi and so rather than and any sort of with with my this course in my zoo masterclass and stuff like that I am going to be doing some promotion where I'm going to be using uh Facebook ads and stuff like that so previously I was used to use click funnels for things like that for my sales funnels and for advertising and things like that I would use click funnels and then in this case for my take one tech website I had squarespace because it's pretty faultless really and and really easy to use and never goes down I've used squarespace for years however when I started looking at doing course content and was recommended to kajabi by the wonderful carly um it was it was just really amazing everything is all in in one place and it's very intuitive very easy to use and very easy to build out these sorts of things I say very easy I mean I found it very intuitive and easy to easy to use it sort of fit in line with my uh the way that my brain works though that might be a little bit backward sometimes but anyway so yeah I have just sort of completely revamped the website and uh so if in the uh the coming days some things might not quite work that is why it's because it is still a work in progress in literally this last sort of week I've put everything together with the course and all this sort of stuff so uh but basically I've now my store all of the the links that I had before should still work so my store still goes to my store page um except my store now as well as my digital downloads so where before I had my uh my icon packs I've got my zoom icon pack ecamm live youtube play all those sorts of things that one's missing an image isn't it it was all right the other day never mind I'll have to fix that so yeah although um I've still got those digital downloads that are available but then all of my courses will be coming in here so there's the ecamm then the zoom master class will be coming next week then I'm also adding in there'll be one about uh stream deck and then one about keyboard maestro and productivity on the mac and all that sort of stuff so I've got basically five different courses that I'm sort of planning out to to build out so those will all be available there uh my redirect link so I always used to say like you know if you're interested in trying out ecamm live go to uh my website slash ecamm so now what happens is um I haven't quite figured out the the redirect because previously you could do url remapping in square space but you can't do that in kajabi by the way I'm talking about the the functionality of all of this because I'm going to be doing some videos about kajabi going forward as well so my live stream next week will be focused specifically on kajabi so that's why I'm talking about some of the intricacies of actually setting this up it's rather than just have a look at my website um so with um square space the uh you used to be able to do url remapping so that was where you had um like take one tech die dot i o slash ecamm and then I could automatically have that go to my affiliate link of for ecamm so you can't actually do that in kajabi itself you would have to use a third party service something like rebrandly or something like that I don't use that at the moment and now I just didn't have time to set it up so for the time being what I did was I basically just had this instead so that each of my redirect links goes to a page and then I'm thinking what I'll do is I'll actually talk more about the the product or whatever that I'm linking to there so same for my tube buddy link in fact I had them on the screen earlier as well didn't I so this thing at the bottom where I've got my links so tube buddy I'm just realizing that I've got slush kit on my lower third down there and I don't think I've set that one up so this one would come through to that so that was just one sort of caveat with the website is that my affiliate redirect links are now basically going to a page and then a link out for that so it's not totally ideal but perhaps there is room for some extra information and stuff like that that I can give related to those services there you also find my discord link is right at the top so take one tech dot i o slash discord or you can just go to my website and it's up there in the top menu so that'll take you to my discord server there is not a huge amount going on there over there at the moment but I've set up the bones of it but I won't go over that today because that's what we'll be talking about on doc's stream tomorrow I say doc stream doc stream run by the wonderful keely so I've got so much information from keely about you know how to set up the the server and all that sort of stuff and still plenty more to learn so in fact if you drop the discord for creators link into the chat that would be great so yeah I'm looking to really sort of build that out as the sort of main hub of the you know community associated with the channel and then obviously as people are doing courses and things like that having that as being the hub for any resources relating to that so although the courses are sort of pre-recorded learn at your own pace learn in your own time still having that sort of interaction being on the discord I felt like it was a good way to go because I know that if you do just doing a course where it's all on zoom or something like that then if you can't make any decisions you miss out but then if it's only an online course only then potentially you are you know missing out on the the interaction or any sort of you know uh handholding that you might need along the way in in implementing the course so uh so that's the idea behind the discord is it's going to be sort of the accompaniment to that and so we'll have separate channels set up when when I figured it out we'll have separate channels set up for the the different courses and stuff like that so there'll be still that sort of community aspect around those those courses in there and then yeah once you have if you if you go and buy a course or something then you have a library section which basically has got all of the the things that you've you know you've got in just one place so that is um that is the the website update so that's where I am with that as I say still a work in progress I still think that I might have broken my email some things are not quite working with it but I'll get that all fixed today as well so let me just have a quick catch up hey Noel great to see you from Puerto Rico let me move these this chat up a little bit there we go which is amazing global connections isn't the internet wonderful um so let's have a little look so yeah that's that's basically my update on what I've been doing this week I'd normally do my update on my 365 videos in a year I haven't actually been in and check my stats or check my video account or anything like that so I haven't got anything ready for that but I'm also I'd definitely further behind because obviously the last two weeks I haven't done any videos but I'm also actually really reconsidering the what the scope of that goal is because I'm now just focused on still producing content for the channel but also producing the content for the the courses and stuff like that so I'm just trying to think about how I want to try and find the balance between all of that so yep so this week I've made 70 videos that are up and then I've made another I think I think about 20 that I've got a workload today and then I've got another about 10 to make so there's still plenty of content going out it's just sort of a lot of it is going up onto the the the course but once I finish the course then I'll divert my attention back to the back to the the channel and posting more content there and obviously I'm not I don't just want to have everything like suddenly moving everything behind a paywall as well I do want to make sure that it's still keeping everything up to date on the on the channel as well but certainly the way that whoops still pressing the wrong stream but tech buttons the way that I saw that is that the the courses are more sort of just to give that like organizational aspect to it so things are neatly organized and an evergreen resource as well for people who sign up to those but then the channel is obviously still doing all of the things I've always found it difficult with the the channel to have a clear sort of line flowing through things because I tend to do you know there's some stuff on stream deck then I'll do some stuff on ecam and then I'll do some stuff on keyboard maestro and stuff like that and so I find that you know if I'm if I'm thinking about like just looking at the content as a flow sometimes it's difficult for me to have a consistent stream I suppose is what I'm getting to so like you know although I did do my shortcut series I just did six days of it or seven days of it in a row so I do want to get back to just doing things like that so that they are in sort of little almost like little mini series and stuff like that but in any case what I'm going to be doing next week though is apart from being obviously with Keeley tomorrow on doc's channel then next week is also just finishing off the zoom masterclass and getting that one up and so I might be a little bit slack with the youtube videos next week just trying to fit all of that in but then after that then I should be getting back up to up to full speed with the youtube stuff I'll stick this up by the way just in case anybody fancies joining it's been going quite a long while now actually but if anyone does fancy jumping on for a chat about anything related to the latest update at what you've found interesting or useful with ecam then you can always jump on I've changed my link by the way so I did have a take one tech dot live url so I've used that one just so I don't have to handle this redirect issue that I've got with kajabi so take one tech dot live slash join if anyone fancies jumping on for a chat if not I'll be happy to go and spend some time with the kids but otherwise let me have a little look how is the purpose purposeful mission going so if that is the um if that is the which mission is that now I'm wondering if that is the 365 videos in a year mission yeah I'm wondering about how that's all going to pan out to be honest because obviously I'm spending a lot of time creating content for the the behind the paywall side of the channel so after a bit of a think about that um I'm a bit of a binge creator that's well to be honest that's how it felt this week I basically um the reason why my zoom course has been uh has been delayed is because I had a load of stuff that came up with my you know my full-time uh work that I uh I do um and that just sort of got in the way between uh yeah in the way of the zoom stuff and creating the course was not something that I could do by just sort of sitting down for you know like popping out one video or two videos or something like that I did feel like I needed to block some time for it because I needed to make sure that there definitely was that complete flow whereas although I can make the videos in one take no problem you sometimes lose the flow of it if you're doing like one one day one two days later or whatever trying to fit them in around it so when you're doing something like a course you really want it to feel like you know somebody's if somebody's going to watch one video after another this is the way I view it this is the way that I would want to make it is that um they feel that you are you know that you're just talking them through it at the pace that they're going through uh through it so um I've just hadn't had these blocks of time since the uh since the beginning of the year to just finish it all off basically but what I have done is this last week I just completely blocked out the time for doing this stuff and next week I've done the same apart from a few meetings that I've uh I've got uh I've basically just now said right what I'm going to dedicate the time and be intentional about actually creating all of the the course content so that's been the the change that has allowed me to do it but the reason for me starting the channel in the first place was to just get better at this process of sitting down and making videos in one take so there is no uh there is no edits or anything like that in the uh in the videos for the the course it's just a sort of uh you know one after another sort of thing so really the the practice that I've had from making the videos for the channel have just been invaluable in creating the course content and that that's why I started using the uh e-cam originally was because previously I was making courses not for this sort of stuff all for my channel but for my work related things and uh yeah the the editing process was a bit of a nightmare I was my own worst enemy so that's that's why I started the channel and it sort of feels like now that I'm getting back into actually creating course content um that the uh the the practice over the past whatever is 10 months with the channel has actually sort of helped with that with that process so that is what I've got coming up for the next week in any case and hopefully if anybody does head over to the website at all if you find it out any issues bear with me because I'm trying to get them all ironed out but next week I will be I will be focused on the live stream just on kajabi itself and talking about the process the things that I found with it how to how to get these set up some little things that I figured out I had a few questions that uh that came up they've got really great onboarding procedures so if you do sign up to them um and by the way if you want to try it out there's a if you go to my website then at the bottom it says powered by kajabi very proud to be promoting that and there is um uh like a little link down in the bottom corner um so if you want to try it out you can go and click that link that is an affiliate link by the way um but um yeah and so next week I'll be talking about how to how to build websites in it and how to build courses and all that sort of stuff and obviously I'm still quite new to it but uh I've been sort of using it quite extensively to get everything all set up and I've come across a few little uh a few little niggles and things like that that weren't entirely clear but yeah they have these onboarding calls once you do sign up so I signed up for a um a two month trial they'd got a an offer going that I could get a two month trial on the basic plan but basically I started using it and I didn't wait for the two months to finish because I wanted some of the features on the uh the intermediate plan I don't know what it's called it's I can't remember the levels now but uh there's a low as there usually is with these things there's a low level a medium level and an upper level and I basically wanted something on the medium level so I just I just signed up for it within like a week basically and I couldn't be happier so but when you do actually sign up then you have a an onboarding call and so I had that uh day before yesterday with somebody and it was yeah really great really great to have somebody like get on a zoom call with somebody and I'd gone through the process of starting to set things up and everything like that and so then you get on the call with them and then they answer any questions you've got so it just seems so far at least I should have to say really good process and really good tutorials and stuff that they've got even just on the Kajabi website so there's loads of good stuff on there as well but I will as I say be covering this in more detail on my live stream next week and let you know how it's gone talking about you know some of the analytics and stuff like that uploading obviously I'd got a database from my previous website that I wanted to import so I've done all of that sort of stuff so yeah just covering off all of that basically uh so that is what are we talking about next week so that is about all though for me and certainly that's about all for the 3.10 update let me just see if I've missed anything oh I nearly missed Michelle hello just one second if Michelle's in the room we've just got to do this up from LBC branding um so uh let me have a little look so the not get it ah that was what you're talking about they're not getting distracted and staying gold orientated that's exactly what I've been doing this week is I've just been focused on focused on the course and getting that out and uh yeah we're doing the same for the the zoom course the zoom one's nearly finished by the way it was uh it was just when I started recording all the ecamm part for it I thought hang on the ecamm stuff is something in itself and there's plenty of ecamm users who maybe aren't interested in the zoom part and they only literally want the ecamm stuff so yeah that's that's the reason for that um let's have a little look um did you like that did I do that did I do that okay let me let me try again and let's have a little look oh and Dina hey great to see you Dina as well as always um well you're here just in time for me to wrap up because I think that I have pretty much covered off all of the things that I wanted to cover all of the things that I wanted to cover about 3.10 uh is it wrong of me to think I wonder what's coming in 4.0 I am really really excited about it because I can't wait to see what if this is just a dot release I just I'm I'm interested to see how they draw this the distinction between a a a dot release and also is a um a a full full release so 4.0 we'll have to see um oh thank you thank you Felicia I really appreciate that coming from you thank you very much um let me have a look I've keep losing my I've got my foot pedals but they seem to be just a little bit off centre so I keep trying to press the one to hide the comment but I always go to change the scene so and and there was me trying to take off the comment saying about how professional it is and I'm getting my feet all mixed up how are you getting on with the pedals by the way Felicia did you get did you get a set of the the stream deck pedals I'm still not using the stream deck pedals I'm still using my whatever they are they they're just just generic they just say stream deck on them that I had a few months ago but yeah stream deck I can't get the stream deck pedal in Thailand yet but as soon as I can I'll be definitely giving it a will um so let me have a look I think I've pretty much covered off everything there I have I will just say just one more time before I go don't forget to head over to ecome live masterclass if you're interested in checking that out and for those on the live chat there's a little sweet secret squirrel offer in the chat for you so with that said I'm going to sign off and I hope you all have a wonderful day wonderful evening whatever time of day is wherever you are in the world and I will see you all if not somewhere else on the internet maybe in office hours in fact I'm wondering are we having office hours next tomorrow we'll have to see doc I know it's in sunday so we'll have to find out about that but anyway thank you all for coming along it's been a pleasure and great to see you all and see you all in here and I've got my big head syndrome again I'm gonna hang on a minute let me zoom that out quickly it's going to disappear off the screen there we go just in time fixed it just in time have a great day everyone thank you very much for coming see you all again soon


What's going on guys it's your boy dpj here today with another destiny video and today I want to talk about the possibility of a new weapon class coming to destiny but before we go any further what do you guys think of a new weapon class would you welcome it let me know down below in that comments section also guys if you could leave a like on this video that'd be absolutely epic shall we target 5,000 likes that'd be absolutely amazing if you could reach that but anyway yesterday I saw numerous videos pushed out by my fellow destiny content creators which all circled back to a speck of information coming from somebody who tweeted that Gathalion which if you check is something that can be found within a companion app here indeed it does state submachine which is obviously short for submachine gun like submachine guns seriously although it does seem pretty damn badass and I would really welcome a new weapon type and the speculation of a new weapon type been circling for quite a while now I didn't think it would happen now I doubt I'm the only one I actually remember submachine guns being seen within these apps for destiny over a year ago am I the only one who remembers this to be honest I actually thought I was so I did a little bit of research on the internet and I found this post from over a year ago take a look at it now the weapon he's saying he thinks may be a submachine gun is in fact a fusion rifle but the fact he also states that subs were in a database and this is over a year ago proves that I wasn't dreaming when I thought and knew I saw them before but obviously they had since been removed but it seems as though now they've popped back up which makes things really interesting now what would a submachine gun offer well they can only go about them in a certain way and that is the close to mid-range combat but truly effective at that close range another thing I think that would be great and that would be to see them dual-wielded now there has been a massive call for dual-wielded weapons in the past but many people going for dual-wielded hand cannons or sidearms but now seeing that submachine guns could indeed be introduced with the rise of iron I do feel dual subs would and could really work obviously though they'll be for close quarters combat only but they would open up a massive new dimension of play for that close quarters combat now I remember concept art of dual-wielded weapons which I will show you guys on screen now some of the art you will see is incredible but notice most people mention dual weapons and relate them to hand cannons maybe Brunji thought it would be a great idea to introduce a whole new weapon class which is meant for dual-wielding who knows I do like the idea but whether these submachine guns are legit or not we will find that soon now with submachine guns in mind I went back through all the rise of iron trailers and gameplay footage we have seen to see if I could find any glimpses of anything submachine gun related and I couldn't really find much on them to be honest besides one thing which could be a million miles off anyway and that is this on screen now this is thought to be the iron banan auto rifle it's known as the unbent tree but taking a close a look at it could indeed be a submachine gun when compared inside two other auto rifles is a lot lot smaller look at the length of the barrel look at the thickness of that barrel it screams to me silent submachine gun look at how tiny that buttstock is look at how the sights are slightly raised it does look very reminiscent of what we see on submachine guns but again this is just speculation and weapon designs within destiny as we all know do not really coincide with how they work also as well another thing submachine guns would have been a massive selling point for the rise of iron so why not mention it although I do remember them stating that games come they didn't want to keep a few things secret maybe this is one of them who knows what you guys think let me know down below in that comment section but guys we are coming to an end of the video right now just a side note though if you guys are new here and enjoy that daily destiny content be sure to subscribe and switch on them notifications so you don't miss a thing also leaving a like is very much appreciated but guys thanks to always for stopping by and I will catch you on that next one peace out till next time peace
