Hosting a Live Talk Show w/ Wirecast

Learn how to bring video conferencing software inside Wirecast to host a live talk show! This process is the best way to capture video conferencing software’s video and audio, and then live stream out a professional production. The best part about this solution is that you can use any video conferencing software, plus it works with the Wirecast Gear and most other video production / live streaming software systems.

Once you have your computer / live streaming appliance configured we highly suggest using a dual monitor setup. This way you can open Wirecast (or vMix/Tricaster/OBS/xSplit) on one monitor and have your video conferencing software (Skype, Zoom, WebEX) open on the second monitor to easily perform a “screen capture” and bring in the video. The audio is a little more complicated as always. First, download the Virtual Audio Cables. to send audio back and forth from Wirecast and the video conferencing software as shown in the video above.
