To live stream your podcast, you’ll typically need a good camera (DSLR, mirrorless, camcorder or PTZ), an audio interface or podcasting microphone setup, a computer or hardware encoder, and a stable internet connection. Videoguys can help you select the right gear for your budget and workflow.

Many podcasters start with a single camera, but adding a second or third camera can create a more engaging, professional look by switching between angles. Videoguys can guide you on the best camera types and switching solutions to fit your space.
