There are essentially three different things that you’re going to need in order for this to work. So, let’s switch back over to my other camera here, my wide angle and what we have going on here. And what I’m going to do next if you’re interested is kind of go through the basic setup. Think business meetings, if you’re talking to a friend and you want to know “Hey, what’s going on?” There’s so much information that we get from calibrating to facial expressions that I’m not now able to do and maintain eye contact at the same time. So, if I was actually talking to Bob, not only am I going to be able to get all the facial expressions, I can calibrate what’s going on. And you’ll notice that I’m still making eye contact. What’s great about it is I’m actually looking right at my buddy Bob. And again, I have my Canon camera right behind me. All right, so now we’re looking at the tablet. And I’m going to throw it over to my tablet. So, what I need to do now is I’m just going to switch this from here. Download this free app, install the software on the PC and then it sends the signal wirelessly to your tablet. And essentially what it does is it is a monitor. Spacedesk is a free app for Android devices. I had to download some software called space… oh I forgot Spacedesk. Now the problem is my teleprompter is simply a teleprompter at this point with a tablet. I’m using the camera over here in my teleprompter. So, I’m not using this camera over the monitor anymore. So, if we go back to the second view here, you can kind of see. On Zoom, I’m running my other one into my ATEM Mini. So, if we go back to Zoom as an example, here I am on Zoom, and I’m going to switch cameras. Now directly behind here you can see my Canon camera, the lens is actually right in the middle of all of this glass right here. And then what happens is, if you’re not familiar with teleprompters, is the tablet actually shoots up into the screen, and then it reflects so that we can look out. And I have a tablet, this could be Android or iPad that fits right inside. It’s a Glide Gear that I got off of Amazon, I believe for $200. So, I have a teleprompter, which is this device here, all the way down here. Let’s go ahead and zoom into that a little bit. The solution is going to be this set up here. And for that, I got to push a button here. The solution, let’s just jump right into the solution. Very common, pretty much everyone does that. And then I have my monitor, and then a microphone in order to speak into. So, my normal camera setup when I’m doing a virtual meeting, wherever it may be maybe on Zoom or Microsoft or on Google, is you have your webcam up top. And in fact, we can kind of zoom in on that. And what you can see on this shot, is my normal camera setup. And what I’ve done for this, I want to actually show you, I’ve got another camera back here, let me switch to that shot real quick. And Bob is going to help me with this outcome by just hanging out there doing his thing. So, I’ve created this fake Zoom meeting here with my buddy Bob. And without drilling a hole in the middle of monitor, there’s got to be a better solution. But if I look at the screen, so I can actually see your facial expressions which if you’re doing meetings, that’s really important, then I’m not making eye contact with you. If I’m looking at you in the camera, then I can’t see what you’re doing on screen. And here’s what I was talking about in the intro. Hey there internet fans, welcome to my virtual meeting. And that’s what I’m going to talk about in today’s video blog. Or do you look at the person you’re talking to, but then you’re not making eye contact with the camera, which is the person! I wish there was a better solution. Is it just me, or do you not know where to look when you’re on a Zoom meeting? Do you look into the camera lens? But then you can’t see the person that you’re talking to.
