 There's another beta out for Ecamm live version for just a couple of days after that massive update that we've just had and There are a couple of new features and there are some tweaks and improvements as well So I'll cover those all in this video And there's also a couple of things that I neglected to mention in the larger video that I did all about the the main Ecamm version for Beta update that came out as I say just a couple of days ago So let's get straight on into the new features and I'll start with one that I'm very happy about because they added a new feature in the Beta a couple of days ago, which was this countdown that we now have on the record So when I click on record if you are in record only mode Then it's basically going to count down as you can see on the record button if I actually click on it in the right place There we go Three two one and it counts down and then the recording starts So this is a feature that a lot of people asked for so it's great that they added that in however Some people me included weren't entirely Happy about having to be forced into that because it just didn't work for some people's workflow and by some people I mean me but in any case they have now added that as a Toggle so you can choose whether to have that or not So if you come into your preferences Ecamm live preferences Then you'll see under the general tab at the bottom there We've got this record only countdown it will be on as a default So there's to you know highlight the new feature But you can always come in here and toggle it off if you'd prefer it Just the way things were before where it just goes straight into the recording So that's the first thing the next thing is related to comments and reactions So they've now added little badges next to the chat comments in the comments and reactions window That basically shows first of all if somebody is a moderator You'll see a little wrench symbol next to them and if somebody is a channel member as well You'll see a little badge next to them as well So that's nice to be able to sort of highlight anybody who is a channel member within your chat One thing that they've sort of revoked actually in this this release of the beta is this feature whereby if Comments were deleted in the chat by moderators on the platform itself that they'd be deleted in here So that it has now been removed as a feature for the time being Whether that will be coming back what the issue with that was I'm not entirely sure but no doubt It's just because they need to do some tweaks to improve the functionality or something like that the other thing that has been tweaked is that Superchats would be displayed as superchats previously Whereas there was some issue perhaps with super stickers So now the need note is that super stickers will now appear as well as supers in the in the chat as well Another thing was that apparently the view count occasionally would display zero So that's been just a minor little tweak there And then also related to live streaming still when you are scheduling a live stream Then if you are scheduling to Twitter then it will take the title of the live stream and post that as opposed to it Looks like before it was taking the description, which obviously would have been too long in instances So presumably it was getting truncated or something like that Also another little tweak is that the YouTube and Twitter latency drop-downs that we have in when Scheduling a live stream those were not being remembered from one State to another so now it's actually remembering those latency states So if I just come back and show you what I'm talking about here if I go into Here and I'll select a stream And then I'm going to schedule a stream in here. So here. We've got this platform latency So you can come in here and select low medium and so on or low normal and ultra low Same for Twitter if I was to add Twitter in here So now it is remembering those states apparently before it wasn't one other thing by the way that I don't think I mentioned in my previous update Was that when you are scheduling a stream? You can obviously enter all of the details in here It may not be immediately obvious But when you are selecting whether you want it listed or unlisted Privates you actually do that by clicking in here So this little drop down here is where you're going to choose whether you want it to be a public Unlisted or private stream. So that's all done from within there Another thing related to Livestreaming is actually when you're adding a Facebook page and there has been some issues that people have been having with this But it's actually a Facebook issue. Isn't that always the way if I come over here and I go to destinations when you click on new destination and you want to go and add a Facebook business page It's not actually showing up on here just at the moment, but the The little pop-up isn't showing up For you but it's showing up for me when you go to add a new Facebook page If you've encountered this issue and you'll know exactly what I'm talking about where you log into your account And then for some reason your main Facebook page that you've been using all the time And you've been using with e-cam isn't showing up in your list of available pages This is related to the new feature that Facebook added Whereby you can easily quickly switch between your Facebook page profile and your personal Facebook profile And it's almost sort of detached your Facebook page from your profile now And so there is a bit of a workaround for it But what I'll do is I'll leave a link to the e-cam live support article That that they've created to explain how to fix this basically To cut a long story short You have to go in and grant someone else permission to be an admin on your Facebook page to then grant you yourself access back as an admin on the page And then you'll be able to add it in so if you're wondering why your Facebook page isn't showing up in the picker in e-cam That's the reason and I'll as I say I'll leave a link to the to the article in there So that's about it in terms of the sort of main updates But as I say there was a couple of things that I wanted to just cover off as well In terms of a couple of things that I missed before I also just want to touch on the the topic of isolated video because There's been a few people asking about isolated video and wasn't it supposed to be in version four? Well, the fact is Although it was mentioned in a q&a that it was something that was being worked on and may make it into version four Just bear in mind that this is only like, you know two days into the beta program So there may well be more features and things like that that get added to this in fact There usually are with these beaters So just because something doesn't happen to be in this particular beta doesn't mean that it isn't still being worked on and isn't going to be in a future update There again, you know things that are in the beaters can sometimes get pulled even from the updates as well So that's the the whole point of a beta is that it is to test these things out before they go sort of prime time And that's another thing to point out. Obviously in this particular release We've had a number of different bug fixes So that's because it is the first beta or the first few beaters of a major update And so there will be little bugs and things like that to iron out And so just bear that in mind And if you've got the most important live stream of your life coming up Then the advice would be to to use the regular version rather than the beta just now Don't just take this as you know, it's it's going to be 100 bulletproof because that's not always the case I tend to just always use the beta because I like to live dangerously But it's just something to note there that you know, if something doesn't if something goes wrong Then that's the whole point. Let the guys know let the team know at ecam that you've had an issue and what it is And as you can see they're very proactive about pushing out these updates and getting these things fixed So with that said a couple of things that I missed off the the previous video Which were in the sort of first public release of the beta beta 3 that was Um First of all, there is now a higher bit rate on video recording. So this is just something that they've improved There's no toggle or anything like that. It just naturally is a higher bit rate I should probably know what that is, but I can't remember exactly what the figure is Anyway, it's better than it was before just take that The other thing that is not a feature that was mentioned now Let me show you this it was actually india delgada who who found this or noticed this And let's have a look if I come into my live demo mode, I'm really pleased about this So here I've got my ecam live main window and previously we used to be able to enlarge it But it was sort of limited to how big we can enlarge it Well, now basically you can just make it as big as you want I mean, this is a 43 inch 4k display and I can just make that really big Obviously, you might not want to have it that big whilst you are You know recording or live streaming or whatever But it is nice that you can do that, especially when you're doing things like laying out and so on or Arranging things on the screen. It's nice to be able to have it as a sort of larger Larger view on the screen. So I do like that. Not a listed feature as such But for me, that is a real bonus to have that The next thing though is something that I mentioned about the update to the the markers that we've got now So chapter markers when we are recording and just to clarify where that is exactly If you come into here and we go into recording You've now when you are recording, you've got the option to add a marker And that would be either a just a timestamp. This is I mean, so if I come into here and click on record And I start recording Then you've got one of two options You can either add a marker like this and it will add a timestamp Or you can add a marker with info and what that does is pops up this box and I can add in a Let me say I give this the name chapter like this and add it And what that's going to do is create a list of timestamps So this is what you do in youtube to add in your chapter markers and things like this And the thing that I mentioned at the time about this was that You know this one way you're adding the info is not something you could do necessarily live on the fly as it were Because you'd have to be obviously typing while you're recording or live streaming But they did actually add in a stream deck button and I kind of missed it in the the version three I was looking at the version two beta. So the version three did knock in this new little button So let's have a look at how this works because This is actually really cool. So if you look in the stream deck actions list If I scroll down instead of moving the window, um, right down here at the bottom We've got this one to switch profile not switch profile That's a bit stupid, isn't it to add marker is not at the bottom. It's here add marker Now what you can do with this though is if you just leave the button as it is Then when you press the button, it's just going to create this this timestamp. This Just the you know, the time that you are into the recording However, what you can do here is you can actually add in the marker text So what this means is if you've got a series You know a video that you're doing with a series of chapters that you want in it And you know what those are going to be in advance You could literally just create the markers with the chapter names You know as a row of stream deck buttons and then as you are going through the Through the recording or the live stream or whatever you could just be pressing these buttons to trigger those particular chapter markers And in that way you would then have a You know at the end of it a full list of all of your chapter markers all done already to go already to upload into Into youtube or copy and paste into youtube or whatever And by the way, these chapter markers they just come out as I mentioned in the previous video as a text file So you just get a text file with all of these things in it. So I hope you've found that useful and i'll leave a link over here to check out some of my other Ecam live videos as well
