== External Broadcasting Software ==
You are able to seamlessly stream in Free Chat and Private/Group/Club shows on MyFreeCams using an RTMP External Broadcaster such as [https://obsproject.com OBS], [[SplitCam]], [[XSplit]], [https://www.ecamm.com/mac/ecammlive/ Ecamm Live], [https://www.telestream.net/wirecast/ Wirecast], [https://manycam.com ManyCam], etc.
<!--
=== [[Sidekick | Sidekick OBS Plugin]] ===
[[Sidekick]] is a '''WebRTC broadcasting plugin for OBS''' that provides the same high quality as RTMP (normal OBS) with the lowest possible latency (delay) for all viewers, including mobile.

*Download and install OBS from https://obsproject.com
*If using a Mac, click '''''' and then '''About This Mac'''. If '''Chip''' contains '''Apple M(number)''' then download the '''macOS (Apple Silicon)''' version of OBS.
*'''Do NOT run the Auto-Configuration Wizard (click Cancel)'''
*In the [[Model Web Broadcaster]] (ModelWeb) click '''Options''' in the bottom-left corner
*Select '''External Broadcaster''' and click '''Stream Key & URL'''
*Click on '''Stream Key''' to copy the Stream Key to the clipboard
*Launch OBS. Click '''Settings''' and select the '''Stream''' tab
*Expand the '''Service''' selector, click on '''Show All''' and choose '''MyFreeCams'''
*Paste the '''Stream Key''' from the ModelWeb into the '''Stream Key''' box
*Do not change the Server unless experiencing issues
<!-- *Click on '''Server URL''' to copy the Server URL to the clipboard
*Launch OBS. Click '''Settings''' and select the '''Stream''' tab
*Change the Service to '''Custom..."
*Paste the '''Server URL''' from the ModelWeb into the '''Server''' box
*Go back to the ModelWeb and click on '''Stream Key''' to copy the Stream Key to the clipboard
*Return to OBS and paste the '''Stream Key''' into the '''Stream Key''' box -->
'''Remember to update OBS with your new Stream Key anytime your MFC password changes'''.
The Stream Key is linked to your model account's password. If you change your password, or if [[Model Support]] resets your password for you for any reason, your Stream Key will automatically be regenerated as well.

== Settings ==
First time streaming with OBS? Choose the '''Software (x264)''' encoder, '''set the bitrate to 3000''', and make sure your output resolution (in the Video Section) is '''1280 x 720''' (720p) with a '''frame rate of 30 FPS'''.

We don't recommend using any other hardware encoder (AMD H264/AAC, Intel QSV H264, Apple Hardware VT) at this time.
=== Audio ===
Change '''Mic/Auxiliary Audio''' to your desired microphone. '''Avoid the built-in microphone'''. Opt for the one inside your webcam, unless you have an external microphone—such as the Blue Yeti. If using an external microphone, position it as close as possible to your mouth, and far away from speakers, fans, keyboards, or other sources of noise.

[[File:Virtual-camera-preview.png|right|300px|thumb|Toggle the preview from the ModelWeb Status Bar]]
When using an External Broadcaster, the video preview in the Model Web Broadcaster is disabled by default and will show "LIVE" when broadcasting.
'''To enable the preview (requires OBS 26+):'''
* Click '''Start Virtual Camera''' in OBS
* Click the '''Preview''' button in the ModelWeb Status Bar to view a real-time video feed in the ModelWeb preview panel.
* If a different video device is displayed, click the '''Cam Settings''' button to display the video device selection menu.

Alternatively, you can use a Windowed Projector:
*In OBS, click '''Settings''' and select the '''General''' tab. In the Projectors section select '''Make projectors always on top''' and '''Save projectors on exit'''
*Right click the video preview in OBS and select '''Windowed Projector (Preview)'''
*Drag the Windowed Projector to the top left corner of the Model Web Broadcaster (or anywhere) and resize as desired
If using either of these previews, you may experience missed frames due to rendering delays (on less powerful computers). To prevent this:
*Right click the video preview in the main application and select '''✓Enable Preview''' to disable the preview
