Matt’s Howto: WebcamStudio
For months now, I’ve received requests to do a how-to on WebcamStudio. I’ve held off on this, since the developer has stated outright that the software is about to go under some heavy changes. Still, I am the co-pilot on the project so to speak, so I thought I’d throw everyone a bone and show them how to run WebcamStudio on Ustream.
You can download WebcamStudio from this link. https://www.ws4gl.org/download/installing-on-ubuntu
This segment demonstrates how you can run multiple webcams, plus how you can even add in some transitions as well on the Wild Dog PC from System76.com during a live broadcast.
Flash troubles with Ustream? If you find that Flash is giving you the allow/deny box and you cannot click into it, try this below.
1- Visit this url
https://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager06.html
2- Next, look for a reference to the site giving you trouble. In my case, it was static-cdn1.ustream.tv
3- Highlight the static-cdn1.ustream.tv entry with your mouse, then choose always allow.
4- Close the browser, then re-open it and visit Ustream once again, then try to broadcast again. Both your audio and video will work.
5- Now close the browser again, open up webcam studio, then visit Ustream to broadcast once again. Once there, choose the video source pull down for WebcamStudio. Audio source, should be your webcam or USB headset.
