How to Select and Position a Camera in Stream Studio?

Stream Studio allows you to select the camera used for your live auction stream and adjust how it appears within the presentation. You can choose from available cameras, crop or resize the camera view, and position it where required.

When Camera Only is selected ensure to fill the screen with the camera footage and when Stream option is selected ensure to move the camera to appear within the allocated area.

Select and Position Your Camera

Step 1: Under Layouts, select the layout you want to use for the live stream.

Step 2: Select the camera you want to use from the available cameras. If multiple cameras are connected to the computer, choose the required camera.

Step 3: Use the camera controls to crop, resize or expand the camera to full screen, depending on how you want it displayed.

Step 4: Click and drag the camera within the layout to position it in the required area of the presentation.

Step 5: Check the Preview to confirm the camera is positioned correctly and does not cover important presentation content.


Helpful Tip

Connect your camera to the computer before launching Stream Studio. If the camera is being used by another application, such as a video conferencing application, it may not be available in Stream Studio.
