Howdy Reader!

Most of you know I love Ecamm. And I mean love love. I was a fan long before they ever sponsored the Friday live show. I’ve made real friendships with the team, and I use it multiple times every single week.

So when they told me what they were building next… yeah, there may have been a happy dance involved.

Let me introduce you to something new: Dual Mode.

And honestly? This changes how you think about creating video.

Dual Mode lets you design, record, and stream in horizontal and vertical at the same time… in one session.

Not a crop. Not a “reformatted” version. Not something you fix later. You’re actually building two fully customized layouts side‑by‑side. Your YouTube version can look polished and widescreen… while your vertical version is optimized for Shorts, Reels, or LinkedIn, with totally different framing, overlays, and design.

No compromises. No extra editing. No rebuilding your show later.

Just create once… and show up everywhere the way you intended.

And here’s where it gets even better:

• You can stream to platforms with different format preferences at the same time.
• You can record both versions simultaneously.
• You stay in full control of how each one looks.

This isn’t automation. It’s creative control.

And yeah… Dual Mode is the headline, but there’s more in this update too:

• A new Scenes grid view so you can see everything at a glance
• Video overlays with sound (finally!)
• Support for YouTube emojis & Super Stickers
• Smarter streaming to platforms with different resolution limits (Ecamm handles it for you)
• Option to use separate encoders for streaming and recording

What I love most about this update is what it represents.

Ecamm isn’t just a live streaming tool anymore. It’s a full creative studio for your Mac. Whether you’re going live, recording content, or presenting… it’s built to help you show up professionally without making things more complicated. And that’s kind of their thing.

If you’re creating content for more than one platform (and let’s be honest… who isn’t right now?), this is worth checking out.

See ya around the interwebs,
