Click the checkbox on the &#8220;Zoom &amp; Pan&#8221; menu and then simply zoom in on your guest and reposition so that the Skype logo is no longer included in the feed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also adjust any picture settings like brightness, temperature, tint, and saturation while you&#8217;re at it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tip #2 &#8211; How to Save a Project File<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>How do I save my Scenes in Ecamm Live? Can I save my Scenes?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These questions come up a lot among Ecamm Live members and the answer is yes! You can save an Ecamm Live scene. You can also download a Scene onto your computer and send it to any other Ecamm Live member or share it to another computer with Ecamm Live. Instant collaboration!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two different ways you can accomplish saving a project file or Scene in Ecamm Live. The first is to create a folder (called a &#8220;group&#8221; in Ecamm Live) for each show you do. Simply click the little folder at the bottom of the Scenes window and you&#8217;ll see a &#8220;New Group&#8221; folder pop up. Label it accordingly and drag and drop the relevant Scenes into it. Now they&#8217;ll be there for you each time you go live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"606\" height=\"616\" src=\"https:\/\/ecamm.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Screen-Shot-2020-07-13-at-8.02.38-PM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-907\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecamm.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Screen-Shot-2020-07-13-at-8.02.38-PM.png 606w, https:\/\/ecamm.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Screen-Shot-2020-07-13-at-8.02.38-PM-295x300.png 295w, https:\/\/ecamm.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Screen-Shot-2020-07-13-at-8.02.38-PM-600x610.png 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 606px) 100vw, 606px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The second way to save a Scene is to click on the &#8220;up&#8221; arrow at the bottom of the Scenes window (to the left of the garbage can) and export the file to your computer. It&#8217;ll save as a .ecammlive file that can be loaded into any Ecamm account. You can either save this on your computer for use later or share with a colleague. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tip #3 &#8211; Set Countdown Timer to .59 to Avoid Position Movements<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you set a <a href=\"https:\/\/ecamm.com\/blog\/countdown-timers-for-live-streaming-everything-you-need-to-know\/\">countdown timer<\/a> to an even 10 minutes (or 20 minutes, etc), it will immediately reduce the size and could affect your design when it ticks down to 9:59.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To avoid this and keep the timer looking its best, simply start your timer one second less than your total time (ie: 9:59). If this tip makes ZERO sense to you, simply click on the video below to watch Luria explain it in more detail (and with visuals!) <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tip #4 &#8211; Demo Mode<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re using Ecamm Live to teach others about live streaming with Ecamm Live, you may use our &#8220;Demo Mode.&#8221; You may use it often. You may completely forget to go out of demo mode and end up giving your show a different look and feel then you anticipated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s how to solve that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simply add a &#8220;demo mode&#8221; button to your Elgato Stream Deck. In your Stream Deck, drag over the hot key button and click to assign. Enter the hot key in Ecamm Live that&#8217;ll trigger Live Demo Mode (command shift D) and you&#8217;ll be good to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember: you have to be live and using Ecamm Live in order for this Stream Deck button to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#5 &#8211; Double PiP<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>How do I get two guests to fit into my pre-designed picture-in-picture, 2-host graphic? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Glad you asked. The first thing to note is that you can&#8217;t have your hosts or host\/guest positioned anywhere on the screen. They&#8217;re going to be stacked on either the right or left hand side, so you&#8217;ll want to design your overlay to fit that in advance and then pull it into the applicable Scene in Ecamm Live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you&#8217;re ready to go, bring on your guest via Skype. You&#8217;ll originally see them come in split screen. Once both you and your guest\/co-host are on screen, simply click the Screen Share button in the top middle of the main Ecamm Live window. Once it&#8217;s moved to Screen Share mode, then click the picture-in-picture icon on the left hand side of the Screen Screen menu (bottom of the main window).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When your split screen image appears, control click to open the menu and select &#8220;Tall&#8221; as the aspect ratio. Adjust the size as needed to fit into your existing graphic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">We\u2019re here to help!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Wherever you are right now with your business, you\u2019re not alone and we\u2019re here to help.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/ecamm.tv\/shows\">Go LIVE Now!<\/a>&nbsp;is a weekly live show on YouTube and Facebook.
