![]() However, one of the REALLY cool sources is a feature Boinx calls mimoCall. In the second image, using a separate audio source so I can include it anywhere within the live cast that I choose.īeyond just audio and video sources, you can have Screen and Window captures, and many others. In fact I do not select audio source for my video input at all. In the example above, choosing to not use the built in microphone for my webcam (because it sounds terrible). You can also get into live monitors Layers and Outputs and (this is cool) a virtual control surface for turning on and off different sources while live! Both have their advantages, I prefer to start with a template (mimonews) and then adjust my sources (more on this later) as I go along. At the program start, a window will open asking whether you want to use one of MimoLive's templates (there are many available) or create a new one from scratch. Naturally since it's in the title of this article, I'm talking about MimoLive from Boinx software. Easily add various video and audio sources, with options for lower thirds, bringing pre-recorded audio and video, live streams from url streams, and much more. There's another choice though and while it's not free, the UI is a fresh look at what can be done with all the options you might want. You also have to add your own streaming sources and that can be mixed with as many variables that get just one wrong can in an entire session. ![]() OBS is trying to make it a little easier by allowing you to group items like cameras, audio sources, and so on to giants, but it can still be confusing. If you are the kind of person who can painstakingly plan out each and every scene you want to use for each livecast, then it won't be that big a deal, but depending on how complicated each scene is or how many different scenes you may need, this can become overwhelming. If you want to re-use the elements in a different scene, you have to include them separately each time. So if you have a video source along with other static images that can be used to show, that scene must include them all. Each scene must contain each element required that is going to be seen or heard during the time that scene is the most prominent. However, it's an all or nothing of experience in that you have to create "Scenes" in order to switch between different views. On the free side of things there OBS (Open Broadcasting Software) which is very powerful and yes, free. So what category does mimoLive fall into? Child or in one all it's own. Some were alright, some where downright awful, and some were just too expensive for casual use. I have been dabbling with online streaming for over 2 years and have used a variety of different software packages so.
