Hi there! I’m Scott Wyden Kivowitz.

For my multi‑cam setups in Zoom/Meet, I focus on a few core techniques:

  1. Use a virtual switcher (like Classable, ManyCam, Ecamm, OBS with a virtual camera) so Zoom only “sees” one camera, while I switch between multiple sources inside the app
  2. Assign roles: one camera for my face, one as a document camera, sometimes a wide room view
  3. Pre‑label scenes (e.g., “Me,” “Me + Doc Cam,” “Doc Cam Only”) so I can change angles with a single click or hotkey
  4. Match exposure and color between cameras so the switch feels smooth and not distracting

What kind of multi‑cam setup are you hoping to build—teaching, presenting, or something else?
