Hey, my camera has a limit of 30mins per video and I want to live stream longer than this. If I were to record let's say 29mins and go again will that close the stream or will it continue. A very niche question, if anyone has an answer to this But great video nonethelsss

Thanks for sharing Kevin! If you have a camera that can be used as a webcam (such as some Fujis) via USB output on the camera, I am wondering whether there might be a shorter route. After all, the camera delivers a USB signal that the computer app understands, so is there a need for a seperate HDMI2USB conversion? Just a thought..🤔
