FAQs

Can I co-host a live stream using Uscreen Studio?

Currently, it's not possible to co-host a live stream with Uscreen Studio. You are limited to one host and one camera input. If you need a more advanced setup with multiple hosts, we recommend using a third-party tool like OBS Studio.

Can I use an external webcam with Live Studio?

Yes, you can use an external webcam with Uscreen Live Studio. When you enter the studio, your browser will ask for permission to access your camera, and you can select your external webcam from the dropdown menu.

Why is there no audio when I watch my recorded live stream?

Make sure you've activated the microphone icon below the player inside the studio, as it might be turned off by default. Also, check that you've granted microphone permissions to your browser.
