Ecamm Live is a live streaming and video production application built exclusively for macOS. It lets creators, podcasters, and businesses run professional multi-camera broadcasts and simultaneously multistream to up to 10 destinations including Facebook, YouTube, X (Twitter), Instagram, Amazon Live, Twitch, and LinkedIn. The app combines a scene composer (titles, split screens, lower thirds), camera effects (green screen keying, digital pan/zoom, color LUTs), and support for up to ten simultaneous video guests with customizable split-screen layouts. Audio tools include stereo mixing and echo cancellation, and every broadcast can be recorded locally with isolated audio/video tracks for post-production. Ecamm integrates with hardware and software creators already use, including Elgato Stream Deck, NDI sources, Blackmagic DeckLink capture devices, and USB DSLR cameras. Higher tiers add a dedicated Ecamm for Zoom integration, a virtual camera/microphone for use in any conferencing app, 4K streaming, and real-time bandwidth monitoring. Ecamm is built by Ecamm Network, a company founded by twin brothers Ken and Glen Aspeslagh in the late 1990s in Massachusetts, and it has become one of the best-known dedicated live-streaming tools in the Mac ecosystem.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Multistreams to up to 10 destinations (Facebook, YouTube, X, Instagram, Twitch, LinkedIn, Amazon Live) simultaneously from one app
Deep hardware integration: Elgato Stream Deck, NDI, Blackmagic DeckLink, and USB DSLR camera support
Supports up to ten live video guests with flexible scene and split-screen layouts
Records isolated audio/video tracks locally for post-production alongside the live broadcast
14-day free trial with no credit card required, and a real Standard tier starting at $16/mo
Cons
macOS only — there is no native Windows or Linux version, unlike cross-platform competitors such as OBS or StreamYard
Pro-tier features like Zoom integration, 4K streaming, and virtual camera/mic require the $32/mo plan, not the $16/mo Standard tier
The free trial version watermarks output, so evaluating final broadcast quality without a subscription is limited
As a native desktop app it requires a local install and a reasonably capable Mac rather than working purely in-browser
