Triggering macOS Shortcuts

Ecamm Live has support for automatically running macOS shortcuts.

Updated over 2 years ago

Ecamm Live provides four triggers for macOS Shortcuts, found in the Shortcuts tab in the Preferences window:

Ecamm Live Opens

Assign a shortcut to run when the Ecamm Live app opens. For example this could turn on studio lights using a HomeKit-compatible outlet switch.

Broadcast Starts

Assign a shortcut to run when a broadcast or recording starts. For example, activate Do Not Disturb mode, quit certain apps, or turn on an On-Air light in your studio using a HomeKit-compatible outlet switch.

Broadcast Finishes

Assign a shortcut to run when a recording or broadcast finished. For example, deactivate Do Not Disturb mode. This trigger will send the recorded file’s path into the Shortcut.

Ecamm Live Quits

Assign a shortcut to run when Ecamm Live quits.

Compatibility

macOS Shortcuts require macOS 12 or newer.
