LIVE VIDEO TOOL COMPARISON

Most desktop apps will allow you to play videos of any length and size. Web-based tools (like StreamYard and Restream) have a maximum of 10 minutes. Although some tools offer the ability to "stream" a video of any length from your computer to your broadcast.

In your show, you can have just one "scene" or many scenes to switch between.

Just my webcam. You could just have one view (or scene) throughout. It could be just your camera - or you and your guest.

Simple Layouts. You could have simple layouts that you can toggle between. For example different types of split view layouts showing you and your guest(s) as well as solo shots and a screen share.

Multiple scenes. You may want multiple scenes that could include a show intro video, a couple of different split shots (showing you and your guest), solo shots of you and your guest on their own, pre-recorded videos, picture in picture, and more. You can create these scenes ahead of time which you can then select as you through your show.
