A Mac
A microphone (All Macs other than Mac Mini have a built-in microphone.)
A compatible video camera (including built-in webcams)
macOS 10.12 or newer (we do not have an older version available for older Mac OS versions). macOS 12 (Monterey) works great.
An internet connection with an upload speed of at least 1 Mbps. 4 Mbps is required for HD quality.
A Mac with hardware-accelerated video encoding (most Macs manufactured after 2010).
To broadcast to streaming services, you must have an account with that service.
To host using Interview mode, we recommend a Mac Mini, iMac or MacBook Pro manufactured in 2015 or newer, and at least a 10 Mbps internet connection.
Ecamm Live is only compatible with Macs. We do not have plans to develop a Windows, iPad or iPhone version at this time.
