Configuring CamTwist to use Camera Live as the source If your camera falls asleep, you will need to half-press its shutter to wake it back up and reselect the Camera Live stream in the right pane. Now your Canon camera will appear as a webcam in Chrome’s settings, at least in Chrome version 81, so you’ll be able to use it with various webapps. Open CamTwist, go to the Preferences. Menu, and select the General tab; Select Custom from the Video Size select list, and enter 1920x1080 as the resolution (This is so that no scaling is required when the 1080p desktop is captured.) Open CamTwist, from Video Sources select Display, then.

1. CamTwist CamTwist is a capable of 720p output. If you have an input card that supports 1080i or 720p CamTwist can even scale up to 1080p output as well!
2. CamTwist is Mac-only. The way CamTwist works is by interacting with QuickTime and your computer. This is actually a pretty powerful program and can do some really cool things if you have time to learn it.

This plugin builds turnkey functionality where site users cam broadcast live streaming channels from various sources (PC webcam, IP cameras, video playlists, iOS/Android and desktop encoder apps).

Special requirements

This plugin has requirements beyond regular WordPress hosting specifications: a RTMP host is needed for persistent connections to manage live interactions and streaming. More details about this, including solutions are provided on the Installation section pages.

WebRTC

WebRTC streaming is done trough media server, as relay, for reliability and scalability needed for these solutions. Conventional out-of-the-box WebRTC solutions require each client to establish and maintain separate connections with every other participant in a complicated network where the bandwidth load increases exponentially as each additional participant is added. For P2P, streaming broadcasters need server grade connections to live stream to multiple users and using a regular home ADSL connection (that has has higher download and bigger upload) causes real issues. These solutions use the powerful streaming server as WebRTC node to overcome scalability and reliability limitations. Solution combines WebRTC HTML5 streaming with relay server streaming for a production ready setup.
Current implementation allows HTML5 broadcasting using WebRTC from Chrome and Safari.

Desktop Sharing / Screen Broadcasting

If your users want to broadcast their screen (when playing a game, using a program, tutoring various computer skills) they can do that easily just by using a screen sharing driver that simulates a webcam from desktop contents.

Tools like WebcamMax, CamTwist or external encoders like Open Broadcaster Software can be used.

Resulting videos can be managed and imported with Video Share VOD WordPress Plugin .
