Install the camera

Install the camera and the two sound devices once on each Mac that runs calls. See Live Producer Camera and Live Producer Mic and Return.

Before you start

• Live Producer is in the Applications folder. The camera does not install from anywhere else.
• You know an administrator password for this Mac.
• No show is running: installing the sound devices restarts the Mac’s sound for a second.

Step 1: Open the Video Calls page

Open Settings › This Mac › Video Calls.

Step 2: Install the camera

Under Live Producer Camera, click Install Camera. The status changes to Waiting for your approval in System Settings, and the button to Open System Settings. Click it, and allow Live Producer’s camera under General › Login Items & Extensions.

Back in the Studio, the status reads Installed.

Step 3: Install the microphone and return

Under Live Producer Mic and Return, click Install Microphone and Return… and enter the administrator password when macOS asks. The Mac’s sound stops for a second. The status reads Installed.

If it reads An older version is installed, click Update Microphone and Return….

Step 4: Send the program

Turn on Send Program to Camera, here or in the Switcher menu. Status reads Sending the program.

Verify

Open the call app’s camera settings and pick Live Producer: it shows the program. Pick Live Producer Mic as the microphone and Live Producer Return as the speaker. Turn off Send Program to Camera and the camera shows a slate instead.

Remove them

Remove Camera and Remove Microphone and Return… on the same page take them off this Mac.
