Discover the Game-Changing Power of the Insta360 Link Webcam

hi there welcome to teachers Tech my name is Jamie  and it's great to have you here today I want to   show you a new webcam that I'm going to start to  be using for my upcoming videos and I just want   to show you the different options that it has  for me I find this is a real game tape changer   so I'm going to still be using inside Camtasia  how I record my videos off me but I wanted a few   more options and I can set up shots easily like  this with the AI tracking so if I start moving   around it will move around with me I can use hand  gestures to control it and I want to walk through   the different ways that you can use the insta 360  link here that I'm using to get some great quality   video even in 4k to get your videos just the way  you want just some things to know about this video   before I start giving you the walkthrough of the  insta 360 webcam I was going to purchase this   webcam but they sent it to me for free I'd watch  other YouTubers use it and I was excited about   purchasing it myself and then they asked if I'd  be interested in getting this and doing a video   about this and I said sure since I was looking at  this but after testing it out for a bit this is a   camera I will be keeping and using on my future  videos the other thing to point out currently   right now I'm filming with Camtasia and so I'm  just kind of showing you the software but I'm   not recording in the software and I'm recording  in that using the insta360 and I'm kind of in a   temporary spot here I'm actually in one of my  kids rooms so I just quickly used their desk

and I put my laptop and you can see right here  that this is where the insta 360 camera is they   also sent me a tripod that I can quickly move  over to the tripod but I liked how the shot was   set up on top of my laptop here and also one last  thing the audio that you're hearing right now is   through my uh through my sure mv7 USB mic and the  quality on that will be a little bit better but I   am going to show you how this how it sounds  on the insta360 web you can use the audio in there   as well so let's start with the walkthrough rate  now of how to use the insta 360. if you do want to   purchase the insta 360 link I'll put a link Down  Below in the description just so you know that is   an affiliate link if you do purchase through that  a little bit comes back to me now the other thing   is you can just go ahead and plug this in so with  mine I just plug this in USBC to USBC you can see   on the back right to my computer they also give  you a adapter so if your USBC to USB you do   get that adapter as well now to get a little  bit more out of this you do need to download   the insta360 link controller so you can see  there is for Mac or Windows I'm using Windows   here today so you can go ahead download that and  install it and then we can go from the software   if you're following along but now I'll just show  you through the software what you can do with it

so I told it to put the shortcut on my desktop  after I installed and there it is I'm going to   just go ahead and click on this and pop it open  now right away you can see well I can see I'm in   my kids room here but this isn't a very good shot  and right away I have these pre set positions so   if I click on it goes right to where I want and  notice that the AI turned on right away so if I   start moving it moves with me and I can tell it's  on when this is highlighted here so this is the   AI tracking now these pre preset positions you can  go ahead and have the gimbal control and pull this   so I can go ahead and start to adjust things in a  certain way so if I wanted to adjust the camera I   can pull things down you can see how it's slightly  moving I could set another preset so there I have   position one so then I could have position two  you can see how it's jumping back before back   and forth so maybe I have a distance shot so that  can save you some time especially sometimes the   AI tracking on this if I leave the room really  quickly and I come back and it followed me out   but it didn't see me come back in and I forgot to  turn it off I can just hit one of these presets   and get back to where I want to be in frame right  away all right so what I just want to show some   of the features down here we have a white board  here so I don't have a white board in here so I   can't really exactly show you this but if I had a  whiteboard it would find the Whiteboard and focus   on that and all I have to do be clicking on this  one but it's not going to find one in this room   or I'm not going to be able to direct it to one I  can just click it again to turn it off now if we   move through we have overhead mode so overhead  mode this would be if I put it on the tripod I   could have it and then having it look down but I'm  going to show you this is kind of similar because   this is desktop view and this will be able to just  it will turn the camera hammer it down my cat my   desk isn't very big that I'm using right now but  if I go ahead and click on this you can see now   it's just looking down if I hold my phone and  everything if I was going to show something off   my phone I could go ahead and do this or if I had  things set up I could turn it off again and then   it goes back here so you can quickly take these  different modes just from here and if you look you   can do a screenshot this is where I would record  directly in this program as I mentioned before   I'm recording through Camtasia so I'm capturing  everything I'm showing you here I'm not using it   currently to record through now the other thing  is there's some other settings I would just want   to point out we have our image settings so if you  want to adjust the auto exposure the white balance   you can go through all of these right here even  create that preset to it since the beginning of   the video I did turn on another light in here  so you probably noticed some changes I haven't   changed any of these uh I've just left them at  all the defaults but you can go through and adjust   that we do have a few more settings here so with  the we have our gestures that we can turn on and   off and I'll show you those in a moment as I back  up here we also have you can see from our tracking   speed we can change it's just set to normal but if  you click you can adjust any of these I do want to   point out we have our head half body and whole  body so this is part of the AI so if I'm backing   up and if I just want the headshot it will adjust  differently when I back up versus the half body   as well or the whole body so you can just pick  different ones here so as I'm sitting in close it   doesn't really change too much here as well but if  I turn this back on and then see if it makes any   adjustments slight adjustment there we have other  options here as we go through you can adjust you   know some autofocus to manual focus make all these  changes in here now I do want to point out though   we have the up here we have our preferences there  is also hotkey so if you wanted to use shortcuts   and everything on the keyboard you could go  ahead and select that and go through and find   out what all the presets are but what I wanted  to point out if you're recording now if I go   back to preferences you can see where your video  is going to be or the screenshot save location and   everything you can change that now this is your  audio device so right now it's set to the 360 but   I'm recording through Camtasia and I have it set  to my sure and V7 I am going to change it so you   hear the insta360 in a moment you can also change  the location of where your videos get saved but   I'm not using this to record at the moment just so  I can show you what all the settings are on here   so that's a little bit of a walk through here so  what I want to show you now is I am going to   change the camera to the insta3 or sorry the audio  to the insta 360. so you can hear the difference   and then I just want to go through these gesture  settings and I'm going to back up a little bit and

you can see how it follows me around so now the  audio should be different because I'm recording   this with the insta 360 uh webcam audio built-in  mic there so but what I want to show you now are   going to be first the different AI zooms here so  just if we wanted to preset these to maybe have a   half body or head so if I stay right here with  head if I have my uh AI tracking on watch as I   move here so if I move around it's going to stay  about the same it'll get my head shot in here as   it moves around with the zoom so if I go to a half  body here then you can see it gives a little bit   more real estate maybe I want my hands in it  and so and then the other thing is the whole   body and I won't be able to move back far enough  for this but you can see now I have more of myself   in this now if I go ahead and what I'm going to  do this time is uh just show you some of these

gestures here so let's start with just the auto  tracking so right now Auto tracking is on so if I   put up my hand like this it starts flashing blue  the insta360 and notice now oops I turned it on   and off I left it up there too long so I'm just  going to put my hand back up it flashes blue and   now the auto tracking is off so if I put it back  up again it flashes blue again the light around it   the auto tracking is on so that's a great feature  to be able to use those hand gestures when you're   further back so let's say if you wanted to zoom so  if I go ahead and make this gesture it's flashing   blue if I go ahead and now and up it's zoomed  in like out or down it zooms out so that's also   a great feature to have as well the other one  you'll notice is the V feature here where it's   going to look for a whiteboard but I don't have  the whiteboard in here so then it's just going to   go through and it'll give me an error that says  it can't find whiteboard you're going to see it   kind of pop up on my screen in a moment just  like that and I'm going to go ahead and hit OK   so I hope you like this walkthrough of  the insta 360 webcam here for me this   is the camera that I'm going to be using moving  forward with my videos and I film by myself and   we're kind of on my own and so to have the AI  features in here uh works very well so thanks   for watching this time on teachers Tech I'll see  you next time with more Tech tips and tutorials
