Multi-camera streaming can not only make your content more exciting and improve stream quality, but it can also save you time! You can instantly switch from speaking to the camera to showing what you are working on — no editing required. Having an extra camera allows you to switch feeds in real-time. Forget about hours of editing your VODs, inserting scenes, etc.!
In this article, we will cover:
⚙️ Requirements
