Setting up Skype for Wirecast use on Mac step by step: The following video tutorial goes through a simple Mac setup with the addition of Skype and SoundFlower. All it takes is a way to receive the video call (Skype, ooVoo, iChatAV, etc) and with an additional low budget piece of audio software you can set up to take video calls and bring in the audio all on a single computer. Since the complementary Desktop Presenter doesn’t send audio to Wirecast, some may feel they need to resort to additional computers and mixing boards.
