So essentially the use case is to share your screen, but also be able to add stuff to it, like your own webcam, and use that on ANY streaming software. Messenger does support screenshare but it's weird and doesn,t seems to works if someone is on his phone (which we all were). The issue was that it was quite hard to watch it together while being live together, so I just pointed my phone at my computer screen, but it was far from ideal.Įssentially my goal was to screenshare on my computer and then the sound quality would have been much better. Yesterday (actually 3h before that bounty was posted), I wanted exactly that feature, but I couldn't get it soon enough (I did find obs-virtual-cam at the same time as the bounty was posted, what are the odds).Ī bunch of friends and I were listening to a live quiz, on Facebook and we were in a Messenger video calls together to solve it together. Secondly, you can also use the Desktop capture option in the Camtwist and select. That being said, bounties aren't bad overall, they are definitely great ideas if used here and there, but funding of open source projects shouldn't be bounty-driven. Audio, and you will have this window: The Mic/Auxilliary Audio is your. They give more security to maintainers (rent is pretty much a constant for example) and less overhad for users (unless they want to save money and use it most efficiently, but IMO that's not what donations should be about).

Regular payments are far better IMO for projects long term because they allow maintainers to actually maintain the software instead of hunting for bug bounties. It leads to annoyance driven development. So that behaviour will lead to maintainers not addressing issues they know will annoy users. Of course a maintainer is one of the world experts in that codebase so knows really well which things can or have to be done. That camera is cheaper used than all the better webcams out there and the quality is still way better. If you are on a budget, I made a work around with an old Canon 1000D (doesnt support video) + CamTwist on Mac.

They'll add it to issues the maintainers won't do otherwise, which in turn leads maintainers to hold the code hostage, not doing something they'd have done had there been no bounty structure, hoping that someone posts a bounty for it. Sony just released the Sony ZV-1, which should be perfect for this. Visual quality is important, but if the sound on your live stream or video call is scratchy, nobody will want to keep listening to you. In Input settings, look at Input volume while speaking into the microphone. In Input, select the microphone that you want to test. Select Start > Settings > System > Sound. Make sure your microphone is connected to your PC.

#Camtwist audio and mic Bluetooth
If its a Bluetooth microphone, select Add device. The kind of thinking you expressed in your post that payments shouldn't be seen as "charity" leads to people trying to not "waste" their bounties. The internal microphone on your DSLR camera is probably better than the internal microphone on your laptop, but an external mic is better than both of them. In Sound settings, go to Input to see your connected microphones.

I think bounties create an unhealthy incentive structure.
