Oh, one other thing that l learned the hard way is that my Canon EOS T6i records at 29.9x frames per second and my iPhone at 30. If you try to use both cameras and sync the video in iMovie (or other), your camera feed will slowly start to get out of sync. I haven’t figure out how to solve that one yet, but it sure did cause a lot of frustration!

Great tutorial. OBS isn’t intuitive. Sounds like you’ve figured out some of its mysteries. Do you have a slightly brighter light? That would help with your video quality. I’ve just started learning about broadcasting and improving my own skills. This could be a real niche for you. Your explanation was easy to understand and follow. Thanks!

Heyya, thank you for the awesome video! OBS isn't picking up my EOS utility, is there something I'm missing in the set up?? thank you

Bad luck.. I have a Nikon dslr. As there is no utility software for Nikon.
