Ecamm Live

As a Mac user, I’ve tried multiple pieces of live streaming software. Many have real complex settings you have to dial into, configure, etc. Ecamm works elegantly with MacOS to provide a robust, visually pleasing experience. Switch between multiple cameras, bring in video, images, audio and more. Built-in lower thirds, scrolls, browser source, and comments highlighting. I’ve been using Ecamm Live for my weekly live streams for years now.

With advanced features like green screen, interview mode and more, Ecamm is continually getting love from the developers with new features being added regularly. So if you have a Mac and want the most robust live streaming application on MacOS, try Ecamm Live today at this link – https://dhyt.link/ecamm

PlaceIt

Budding social media influencers and creators and require visual assets on a near constant basis. You could employ a graphic artist to make your assets for you, but that gets real expensive over time, especially when you need a social media post, one-off logo or other assets. That’s where PlaceIt comes in. PlaceIt has thousands of templates from social media post designs, thumbnails, logos, video and gaming assets and one of my favourites – mock-ups. I’ve used PlaceIt to make a basic intro for my live streams! Check out PlaceIt today at https://dhyt.link/placeit
