 In this video, I'm going to show you how to enable the Ecamm Live virtual camera for Discord so that you can bring in all of your Ecamm goodness into your Discord servers or indeed anything you happen to be a member of. So let's jump straight on into it, shall we? And this is obviously, first of all, a feature of Ecamm Live with the virtual camera and virtual mic. So what I'll do is I'll just come into my live demo mode, obviously making sure that you do have this switched on. This is, by the way, a feature of the pro level of Ecamm Live. So I'll just have to mention that, but just make sure you've got your virtual camera on and also the virtual mic if you want all of your audio to feed into Discord as well. Assuming though that you have done that, then with things like Zoom and Microsoft Teams and things like that, it is simply then a case of just selecting those as your input. However, for Discord, there is one extra little step that we have to do. And that is we need to add a little bit of code into the terminal. Don't switch off. Don't be afraid. If you are not someone who uses the terminal, it's really quite the simple thing that we're going to do here, and there's nothing to be concerned about. First of all, I should say, what is the terminal? Well, in the good old days where things were overly complicated and you did everything by text, they had the terminal, which is basically where you could type in different text commands to do all sorts of different things. And that was, in essence, until the graphical user interface came around. That was the way to actually navigate around computers and do things with them. So this isn't going to be a terminal channel, but let me just show you what the terminal looks like. And the way you can find this, by the way, is just do a spotlight search for terminal, or you can look in your apps, and you will find terminal.app, so do a search for that. This is the terminal, and it looks something like this. Pretty boring looking, just a box for you to write some text in. And what we need to do is we need to enter a particular code snippet in here that is basically then going to enable the camera for Discord. It's a bit of a workaround. We used to have to do this in Teams, actually, until Microsoft finally updated Teams so that it was no longer required. Presumably at some point, Discord will be doing something similar. Now the code snippet that we need to enter, if you get your pen and paper ready, is this one. Did you get it? I'll leave it down in the description as well, but that is what it looks like. So it is quite a long thing. You're just really going to want to copy and paste this rather than try and write it down or anything like that. But what we want to do is we want to paste that into the terminal. So back over in the terminal, you would just literally paste that in here, just like that, and then you would hit the return key, and then it's going to say, please enter your password. So we're trying to do something at the system level here. So it's going to ask for your, this is your Mac password, so your login password. Or I should say, administrator login password. So you need to enter that. And then once you have done that, then you'll be good to go. Now I say that if you've got Discord open, you may need to restart Discord. You may even need to reboot your computer. Your mileage may vary. But certainly having Discord shut when you do this and then reopen Discord afterwards is the way to go here. Once you have done that though, then you can go into your Discord. And when I say your Discord, you may very well happen to be in my Discord with a bit of look. So if you aren't already in my Discord, in my community on Discord, then you can head over to takeonetech.io-discord to join up there. Once you are in Discord though, and if you are going to join voice channels or things like that, which also have video, I mean, they've got to get their naming convention right there. But then down at the bottom where you see your name, here you've got mute and deafened. So these are controls for actually when you're in a meeting or a call or a voice channel, whatever. But you've got this little cogwheel here, which is your settings. Click on that one, the user settings. And then from here, what we want to do is we want to come down in the user settings all the way down here to app settings and voice and video. Click on this one, and then here we've got the input devices. So input device, e-cam live virtual mic, the output device. So that is going to be the speakers or the headphones or whatever it is that you're using. And by the way, just have to mention this again, it's always better to try and use headphones rather than computers built in speakers or things like that so that you don't get any interference. That's not quite the right word. Don't get your audio from your speakers bleeding back into your mic. So still as ever with Discord, as with anything else, good practice to get into the habit of using earphones. You can control the volume there, control your input volume. I haven't adjusted anything in here actually with the input volume just because I'm doing that all obviously on the e-cam side of things. You can do a mic check here. This again is for the e-cam live virtual mic. And just to recap, what that does is it not only brings your microphone through e-cam into Discord, but also any sound effects or background music or anything like that that you've got would also then come through too. Then we're going to scroll down here. And from here, you can see that we've got the camera setting. And all we do here is we set e-cam live virtual camera from the dropdown list there. And that's it. That's it. Your camera is then going to be coming in or rather your e-cam live is going to be coming into Discord. And one thing about this though is occasionally Discord will have a software update or something like that. And it's almost as if it kind of breaks that little bit of code and you have to re-enter it again. There is a little shortcut to this or a little trick rather than having to think, now where did I leave that bit of code? Let me go back and find the code snippet. If you are not really a heavy terminal user and you've literally only just used it to do this particular thing with, if you come back over to the terminal and I've just reopened the terminal window, with your cursor here, if you just press the up arrow key, just like that, it will actually just put in the very last snippet of code that you entered. And so you will actually have the code already there. So you don't need to go and actually find and hunt for it again. You can just literally press the up arrow and it will bring that in. Thanks to Doc Rock for reminding me about that. It's one of those bits of knowledge that I've completely forgotten. And then he just said, hit the up arrow, you're done. So thanks for the reminder on that. But I hope that helps you as well because it means that if you, like I say, if you're not using terminal for anything else as most people, I guess, are not, then you'll always just have that little bit of code to hunt. Just press the up arrow and then press return and you are good to go again. Now that is just one small little thing about Discord. There is still a great platform for communities. I'll just say it again, if you haven't already then head over to takeonetech.io slash discord to join my server. But there is a lot of other great stuff to learn all about with Discord. And so over in the playlist on the right, you'll find a couple of my videos, but more importantly, some more videos from Keely at Discord Creators. So go and check those out.
