Ecamm Live

📖 What is Ecamm Live?

A Mac-only live streaming and video production studio. It includes a live switcher for real-time multi-camera switching, green-screen compositing (with video backgrounds supported too), split-screen with up to 10 video guests, and Stream Deck integration. You can also multistream simultaneously to platforms like YouTube, Twitch, Facebook, Instagram, X, and Amazon Live. It's paid, with a Standard plan at $16/month and a Pro plan at $32/month, plus a 14-day free trial that doesn't require a credit card (requires macOS 11.2 or later).

💡 When to Use It

Good for when you're on a Mac and find OBS's detailed setup a hassle, or when you want to run a talk-show-style stream while switching between multiple cameras. Since you can invite up to 10 guests into a split screen, it's also easy to use for collab streams or interview-style webinars. Pair it with a Stream Deck to put all your on-stream controls at your fingertips, making a polished, show-like flow easy to pull off even solo.
