Welcome to our discussion on how to efficiently split your camera feed across multiple streaming sites without encountering technical issues. This is a common challenge among webcam models looking to maximize their visibility and income. Here are the key points and solutions shared by our community members:
- Several models have faced difficulties using traditional split cam software with cameras connected via Elgato capture cards.
- Alternative software solutions like Xsplit and ManyCam were suggested, but they come with their own set of limitations, including watermarking and subscription fees.
- A popular workaround involves using OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) alongside a virtual camera to facilitate streaming on multiple sites simultaneously without additional costs.
- Some members recommended trying browser-based streaming to avoid the need for specialized split cam software, potentially offering a simpler solution for streaming to two sites with maintained quality.
- If your camera is recognized on any cam site, it should theoretically be recognized by any split cam software. There were no known limitations against using capture cards for this purpose.
- Members shared specific resources and guides, including a free and highly recommended Visit-X video splitter, and a detailed explanation on setting up a split stream with OBS available on a member's profile wall.
- Technical tips include ensuring your camera or capture card is properly installed with the latest drivers and considering the removal of conflicting software which might interfere with the camera feed recognition by split cam applications.
