Please feel free to contact if you’d like more information or to try this out at our new studio “StudioONE” located in the Telcom Building. Wirecast will also record and stream simultaneously but it’s not a great tool for recording both sides of a Skype interview (although you can bring Skype into Wirecast as well). This is huge! We’ve used programs such as Camtwist in the past to do this (free but yucky) so having a professional app like Wirecast support this opens a lot of possibilities for distance learning. Sure enough, if you start the virtual camera output, then applications such as Skype, Google Hangouts and even WebEx recognize the output of Wirecast (composited or whatever) as a camera.

We tried it again with our improved lighting in the MPS Studio and it worked well enough, but we were streaming Wirecast to YouTube. We suspected it was due to the camera and lighting in that room not being optimized for green screen. We had used Wirecast to try this in the past in the MPS Video Recording Room but it had never worked that well.
