Hi, I have a Sony A6400 and I could not change the USB Connection. The solution is: Turn off "CTRL w/ Smartphone" in the Network Settings, then the USB Connection can be changed. Now it works like a charm.

Hi Chris. Thanks for a very clear tutorial. I have been using my RX10 mkII. For all Zoom users, you can skip the OBS step, since Zoom lets you share any of your connected screens, but also allows to share a selection of the screen, so you can simply broadcast the part of Remote with the live feed, hiding all the camera controls, etc. I hope you find this useful!

Wao just amazing, thanks a lot, I even had already bought another hdmi cable thinking I needed it to do this. Thanks for sharing Chris

My dude, you just did the entire song community a solid!!!

I liked a lot how you explained it clearly and fluently. Thanks for your work!

Perfect tutorial. But best tip, since you can't minimise the Sony Remote software put it on a new desktop! You can just create another desktop (Win + tab) and it'll keep it running.

Your video took an absolute first timer in using my Sony on my laptop as a webcam, clear precise and it was up an running with no problems whatsoever..... so grateful Chris, thanks Cris.

Hey Chris, thanks for the video. Super helpful - potentially. There's a significant lag in the video, which I can only call "skippy," when OBS is pulling the window capture. Definitely doesn't sync, and my CPU shoots up sky-high. Is that computer issue on my end, or is there something that I'm missing wherein I might be able to make this option work for my purposes?

This was a life saver! Been struggling with overheating issues on my Sony RX100 for the longest time.Thanks man.

Bro I just started streaming and this video was a LIFESAVER. Thanks so much for the simple and straightforward tutorial! Cheers!

Quick question.The live preview window always seems to show at a maximum of 30FPS as i can tell, so if i am using OBS with a windows / screen capture to live stream it will look and feel kinda off.Is there a way to display the live view at higher refresh rates, say 60 FPS, to give that smooth feel when streaming? i tried every way and option.I am not sure if it is a limit by the software itself or the USB that i am using, even though i tried 2 different ones.

It is more like a preview window on the Sony camera, is it 1080p? how is the video quality compare it hdmi output on live streaming quality? When use obs live streaming the video usually a little late than the audio, not sync well, do you have this problem?

When I turn on the image edge software, I get a live feed. But there is a focus box in the center of the screen. How do I turn this off? Tks

Thanks man! You saved me a ton of money and effort. Time to sell the Razer Kiyo and use my expensive gear. One tip is to definitely make sure you're in 1080p vs 4K. The latency for 4K isn't quite there yet. Plus on most cameras it will crop in.

I have a Sony a5000 camera and have set it up in the way you have explained, even used the original usb cable to connect it to the laptop and also have set it to manual photo mode but for some reason, the live view doesn't want to appear in the remote app. Is the a5000 just not able to support the remote app?

Hiya Chris, noticed when I am trying to record sound and video on any of my Sonys A6400 A7ii A9 through Sony Edge and OBS I am getting a terrible video and sound lag so when its recorded you see this also, it's not smooth. You can physically see this lag in Sony Edge, before you even attempt to record. So by using all my cameras and Edge and seeing it here before OBS, is there a setting in Edge I have to change, or is it something else? I am on Windows 10.

@user-hx1ow5dy6k

4 жыл бұрын

The delay of Edge Remote live video feed from camera is probably caused by the USB 2.0 connection and is inevitable. However, I think OBS allows you to apply a delay to your audio input so both video and audio delay by the same amount of time. Try Google "OBS audio delay".

This helps so much! thank you!

Very helpful thanks. This really helps me saving money purchasing a gaming webcam. The video is pretty easy to understand. Thank you again.

My sony A7R2 always goes into sleep mode. After weeks of messing with it, I can't figure out how to keep it active while I broadcast -- is there an external app I need to download, or some other mechanical issue I'm missing?

I found out that the quality looks much better if you put the camera in video mode (a6500 for me). A lot less noise, because the view finder (and also the picture you see on the screen) adapts to the selected shutter speed then.

Hey Chris. Quick question. Any tips for adding the audio from the Sony camera to the OBS stream? Took a moment to realise that because OBS is only seeing the window and not hearing it, it has no means of using the Sony camera as an audio input. Thanks!

Hello Chris A helpful piece of advise from you. Thanks a lot. I've tried it out with my Sony A7 III. The only thing I am facing is that Sony Remote captues without latency but as soon as I get it into OBS it is lagging. If I add the sound with a separate mic it all falls apart. Is there anything I need to change in the settings to eliminate the latency. Thanks for your help.

OK, my snags and my fixes for a Sony A6400. 1. USB Connection setting was set to "Mass Storage" and grayed out making it impossible to change it. Solution: Go to "Network1" page under the "globe" icon. Go to 1st page. Go to "Ctr w/Smartphone" setting - turn this "off". Now go back to the "toolbox" icon - page 4 and find the "USB Connection" setting and turn to "PC Remote". Follow this video carefully and it works like a charm every time! Thanks for posting this. It saved me a couple hundred bucks by allowing me to do this without purchasing a Delgato Cam Link! I have used for Twitch and for Zoom and it works great.

Looked through alot of vids for help and this one actually gave me the info with no extra BS 10/10

Great video, i used the same trick before and with this video it would have been a lot easier to make it work. But i have two improvements for the community. If you want to use the obs output stream as a webcam in Skype or anything similar i can recommend the virtual Webcam plugin for obs. Furthermore you should maximize the sony remote window to get more pixels of your screens/window recorded which results in a better webcam video quality.

it records the the audio from the camera, but if you have anything like a microphone you would have to get a separate audio recording software and record the audio from a separate microphone. When you get the software it will record the audio from the microphone separately. The camera mic will still work but you can edit the video. Take the clip you recorded on the camera and put it in an editing software. Then delete the audio the camera was producing. After that, add in the audio from the separate mic. At the point you can sync up the mics audio with the video. That fixes latency.

Okay, my camera Sony Cyber-Shot only has three options in the USB connection menu, Auto, MTP and Mass Storage. This guide works with any of this options? Thank you.

SO HELPFUL! All of these articles and videos that direct you to use a capture card and I kept thinking "That seems unnecessary..." - well this video shows what is up. Thanks!

Great video, well done! If you want optimal video quality with basically zero delay, please check out the Elgato Camlink.

It works ok on my a6500, though I get regular intermittent frame flicker, which sadly makes it unusable.

Hi, Thanks for the video, Is there any way this method can be configured for HX400v Sony model? Under USB Connection there is no option for PC Remote.

i have a DSC-HX30V sony camera it could work ? on the usb connection i have only AUTO mode , STORAGE mode and MTP mode in my view my MTP mode would work ? what do you think ?

Why does this drain my battery, even though it has a charging symbol in the corner? (a6500)

Get a battery dummy and a power supply

Your USB port probably only has enough power to slowly charge the camera and having it on is draining more than what the port is providing. Plugging the camera into a powered port should alleviate the issue.

@@Trenta002 All USB port are "powered" (or maybe I've just never seen an UN-powered USB port)...they all output 5 volts...it's the amperage that's the problem...standard USB ports, I think, put out 1/2 an amp (500 milliamps) which isn't enough amperage to power larger devices...it will charge the camera battery, but only when the camera is OFF. But, maybe some of the smaller cameras, like the A6000-series, or RX-100-series WILL get enough amperage/power? Don't know.

Works pretty good, thank you for this video, however I do hope there's a way to improve the fps and responsiveness of the footage, it definitely could be better.

Is your footage pretty choppy / low FPS? directly on the Remote app, it looks fine. but the screen recording in OBS is pretty much unusable

Thank you for this!! I want to use for my Telehealth appointments. Any idea on how that would work exactly? My Windows 10 PC isn't picking this up on it's stock Camera Desktop PC app. I'm stuck here. How would I make it "live stream" without connecting an account. Is this what I would be trying to do? Maybe I could use Skype to test and see if it recognizes it as a webcam.

life saver! Funny how I figured this out and THEN found my capture card xD so now I can have one Sony connected via HMDI & the other using this method! thank you!

Will this work with Skype and Zoom? I don't want to live stream but I would love to use the camera as a high quality webcam? I also have a Rode VideoMic NTG attached to the camera so would like to pull the audio through as well.

Thank you! I've been looking for a Elgato Camlink because of, well, corona. I've even tried to find a webcam. But there are neither left nowhere in Finland! I have video calls everyday and terrible webcam on my laptop. Not an optimal combination. This helps. Tried this with my a6400 and rx100vi. Can confirm works with rx100, too! Edit: incorrectly stated before that this works with the a6000.

If you find a capture card you can just use that, you dont need cam link, cam link is just a capture card with no output, you actually paying the same price for less if youre buying new. used is different obvi

I'm confused :) so, this does work with the a6000? The update note in the video description says it doesn't work with the a6000. If you could confirm either way that would be really helpful. Thanks

@@nikoh7292 ok thanks Niko, I tried it today with my a6000 but no luck yet. I'll try a different cable tomorrow and see what happens.

Great video, and so simple! Works like a charm. The only slight issue I'm seeing here is a minimal latency from the A6300, but not so bad than I can't live with it for streaming.

Hi! If anybody can help me with this I'd really appreciate it. I want to use my A7SII for this, following the same method. the camera will connect but I can't get the live view working . I checked, the live view should be compatible with A7SII. All I get when I want to turn it on is Unable to show live view. I am in manual mode. That's it. I can still start video, change iso, etc.

Top tip: if your Sony camera has a USB-C port, use a USB-C cable. This will save you half an hour of trying every single micro USB cable in your drawer searching for the right one. Great video, by the way! Thanks for putting this together.
