Hey Dean, this is possible (however using multiple machines is recommended). You can cue multiple sources by broadcasting through your channel's Livestream Studio. Please take a look at the following link in our user guide:

I've also merged this with the thread "Beginner's Guide To Broacasting an Event." It would be helpful to read through.

Best,
Jason

I am trying to use and iPod Touch/ iPhone 4 to be able to live broadcast a Pep Rally. Now the only thing is we want to be able to see the "Camera" in the Studio for Livestream so I can switch between the a normal camera and an iPod/ iPhone.


We are a high school journalism department trying to get a premium account for our classes or at least a educational account the only problem is budget. We want to have some features that are only on Premium.

We also would like to become a verified member our only problem is that we are new to Livestream. We have 4,000 students in our high school and 200+ faculty who we would like to live stream content. How do we become verified to be able to have as many students & faculty that we have?

WildcatsToday,

Right now the only way to broadcast live with a mobile device is via the Qik app. You can learn about this at the following link:
http://www.livestream.com/userguide/...a_Mobile_Phone

However please be aware there is currently a service interruption with Qik integration.

Our user guide should be able to answer any other questions you might have. I've moved this to the thread "Beginners Guide To Broadcasting An Event", which should be helpful as well.

Free channels are verified on a case by case basis. You can find out more at the following link:

Hi there,

Brand new user here. I need to broadcast free learning sessions for my peeps. I tried freebinar, but their product's intermittent issues were too distracting, and the quality of the recordings were really bad.

An attendee suggested I try livestream (he's really into starcraft).

My flatscreen monitor, although nice, only has two resolutions; way too small (800x600) and way too big. I need to really only show a VM window at about 1024x768, and would prefer not to have to show my whole desktop.

So my question is: Should I broadcast (and record) the desktop or select the VM application as my "game" and broadcast that? Has anyone done that? Any suggestions? I wish I could choose windows or, even better, a certain area of the screen (and just put the windows I want in there.

I'm not sure what you mean by "VM window", but you can in fact zoom in on a particular area of your desktop using the zoom function in Procaster. I've attached a screenshot.

I recommend looking at our userguide:

And also reading through this thread, "Beginner's Guide To Broadcasting An Event".

Hey all --
Can anybody shed any light on if it is possible to stream video that has a PIP of a computer screen shot with it? I need to be able to stream a medium shot camera + insight into a computer screen that I am working on while working in the long shot. Can this be done?

Hey robertscovill,

Right now it's not exactly possible to stream picture-in-picture video, however it is possible to stream from a camera and your desktop at the same time using Procaster in 2D or 3D Mix Mode. I recommend reviewing our quickstart guide to Procaster for screenshots and further information:

What are your CPU specs? What kind of connection are you using? Procaster is very CPU intensive so if you're using an older machine, this could be the source of the problem.
