You can use Ecamm to stream to Amazon Live and see viewer counts, be notified of new followers joining your stream, and see and engage with Amazon Live comments.

Please note: you will need to have access to Amazon Live in order to use this feature and be running Ecamm Live v4.0 or newer.

Getting set up is easy. Here's how.

The get the link, tap Share a link to your livestream in the Amazon Live app on your phone. (See below) Once you've copied it, paste it into the Additional Platform Options section of Ecamm Live's Create New Broadcast window.
