Hi. I am awful at tech so I need some assistance please!
I want to livestream on YouTube. I have a MacBook Pro Version 10.14.6 and a Canon EOS 800D. I've downloaded EOS Utility and OBS encoder. I've plugged my camera into my MacBook. Inside OBS, when I go to add a source, I cannot add Video Capture Device as the only option it shows is FaceTime HD Camera. I can't select my camera here.
Instead, I must add Window Capture and select [EOS Utility 3] Remote Live View Window. This allows me to stream (I've tested it on unlisted livestreams) but it is very laggy. In YouTube Studio, it gives you feedback about your livestream. It said my internet connection was good-excellent, so this is not the issue. It did say my current resolution was 852x480 and not optimal so needed to be adjusted.
(I do not have audio yet as I am waiting for a ZINGYOU Plug & Play mic to arrive. I assume I just plug this into my USB port and add it as a source.)
To fix the lag, do I need to purchase a Cam Link USB? Or do I just need to adjust the resolution, bitrate, etc? If so, do you have any suggestions on what to try?
Thanks so much :)
