I need some help. We are going to have a Skype session with author Randy Alcorn on the last Sunday of February. I would like to know how best to handle this while still getting our recording (with OBS so we get the video). I'm wondering if I will have to bring in a second monitor and then use the output from OBS to our screen.
My main problem is that we don't have any cameras so Mr Alcorn won't be able to see Pastor or the congregation.
What would ya'll recommend? Keep in mind, we have a tiny budget. Would a wireless webcam do the job? What wireless cam would anyone recommend? We wouldn't be able to run cables for cameras so that would be out of the question.
OK, your turn!!
- I'll need to record it as part of our Sunday message, , and I really don't want to add it in post production. This morning I set up a scene in OBS that takes the Skype window, over which I'll overlay a lower thirds transparent BG with Proclaim. What I wanted to do was to be able to set a camera close to the platform without having to run a long cable to it . . . Skype may not allow in input from a wireless camera, so the long cable may be unavoidable.
- What is your set up as of now? Assuming Proclaim on monitor #1 and OBS/Skype on monitor #2? Either way, you could always let us know once its set up and give us a test call to reassure you are set for Sunday. We have a Skype account you can call.
- That is the plan, , I haven't set that up yet. Pastor has been dead set against cameras recording the messages, so we want to set this up as a temporary thing, hence the tiny budget. I am purchasing the items needed this week, but was hoping that someone had a suggestion for a wireless camera that would work with Skype so I wouldn't have to use a long cable. We purchased an action cam a while back to capture some timelapse video of our facade remodel so I am going to use that
