I have not tried it but the instructions say you can? You may want to check the website to be sure.

It does but what I understand is that it only does that under battery power since the same cable is used for both. I've only done recording with it and my only complaint is that there is no zoom feature on this Zoom camera.

I have it set up and love it! I got the app on my iPhone free and I can live stream any time-- and record with no subscription. I like the motion detection notification because in the email it sends you 2 photographs. I hope this helps!

Camera will not stream live video only record and play. I returned mine since since I wanted to use it to show close ups of parts to a large audience

Blackmagicdesign offers higher-end models for broadcasting. The Cinema cameras (Pocket, Cinema, 4K), while you could possibly use it for streaming in Video Mode instead of Film Mode, these cameras are really geared towards a different workflow where you'll benefit more from manipulating the image in post-production. So I'd get something else that's easier to shoot with and can better accommodate the needs specific to online streaming. I'm not sure of the output size from the micro HDMI port, I only know that others have had issues with it not working on some monitors. here's an article providing more info: http://provideocoalition.com/atepper/story/which-blackmagic-camera-models-output-live-native-progressive-and-when

This camera has NO video storage capabilities built in. It will only display a live view to a monitor unless you connect it to a recording device like a DVR.

Yes, the camera has a pretty decent set of tools/services/options built into it. It will be necessary to forward the IP ports on your router/firewall in order to view it. You will want to purchase the Blue Iris software to go along with this camera anyway for advanced DVR recording. It will also let you stream live as well as playback from archive. The Blue Iris software will be much easier to work with rather than the camera software. The picture quality is amazing.

I'm surprised you got video! the one I bought won't do anything! Well it turns on but nothing else. I would look for a better cam.

You should have received a CD with the webcam that has software called "Live! Central". Install that if you haven't already. You can check out the what the video looks like with that software. In other words, what others will see/what you will look like to others. It also has some other features which allow you to manipulate the video in different ways. I'm a bit unclear on exactly what you're asking. So, if this doesn't answer your question let me know.

Sorry man, your thinking of live video feeds, this camera is not able to do that. I wish it did but all it does is capture and do playbacks.

No, this is not a webcam, this is more for monitoring. You can buy a very good webcam for much cheaper

I have not attempted it. The provided software does not. But it streams the video feed to other applications. There most like are some that can receive and record a live video stream

I actually bought it for something else. Do you want to have remote live view and trigger from your DSLR ? If you do send another question and I will send some details so you can have something like CamRanger but at around £40 instead of £250. Hope that helps. Phil

Yes this PC will easily handle live streaming, remember your router/internet service also plays a role in streaming without buffering. If you can direct connect to your router vs wireless it is even faster. The processor, memory and video are plenty adequate with this PC. We use it for internet gaming with little to no lag.
