Cue cards contain presenter notes and they can add slides to the camera feed. These are not just slides, they can control other aspects of your production.

When you present your script, you’ll be able to see it on CueCam’s virtual camera, which can be used in other apps on your Mac, including Zoom and OBS.

Colour scheme and styling

CueCam isn’t as fully featured as something like Powerpoint or Keynote when it comes to colours and branding, but it makes it much easier to edit documents and keep everything consistent.

Choosing a background

Open the Doc sidebar on the right, and drag an image into the “Background” slot.

⁠

Setting a font for your document

Instead of having to manage your fonts on every card and risking a lot of inconsistencies, CueCam makes it easy to keep a consistent look and feel. Just pick a font and CueCam will do the rest.

⁠

Adding Music

There are a couple of ways to add music to CueCam shows. You can start music playback from a card, or play back a video.

Downloading a video from YouTube

If the music you want exists on YouTube, you can easily download it with an app like

Downie⁠

Playing a video inside CueCam

Drag the video onto a card and it will play back full screen.

⁠

You can set the volume, trim the video and more.

Starting music from a card

If you have an audio file, you can add a “Load Music” trigger to a card.

⁠

Note that this music will continue regardless of whether you’re still presenting this card, until it either ends or you present a card with a “Stop Music” trigger.

Showing your speaker

Set your main camera to wherever people will be speaking from in your venue.

You can use an iPhone as a wireless camera by using Shoot.

This will allow you to make tweaks to the exposure and colour balance directly from CueCam when you can’t reach the camera.

Audio

You can take a feed of your venue’s PA system to get audio of your speakers.

If you’re not sure it’s in sync, use CueCam’s built-in delay calculator to get it just right.

Adding text

It’s easy to introduce your speaker with a lower third.

Displaying texts

If you want to show text of a verse then CueCam’s “quotation” option will look great.

⁠

Collections, thank yous etc...

CueCam gives you a few different card templates that you can use for different segments.

Running the show

In the venue

When CueCam is presenting, you can share its output on a TV or projector as an external display by full-screening the “Program Window”. Show the window via the Window menu, drag it to the TV or projector, and double-click to full-screen.

On a group call

If you don’t want to take over the whole call, you can set your webcam to be CueCam’s output.

Don’t forget to also set the microphone to CueCam’s virtual mic.

If you’re playing music, turn on Original Sound for Musicians.

On stream

Take CueCam’s virtual camera and mic into your streaming software of choice and go live.
