• Ruby on Mac passed $4k this morning! First time going over $4k in any given month.

• Figured out how to drag Ecamm windows from Mac to iPad. I think I first need to activate Sidecar by moving a window using the “move to iPad” option when hovering over the green maximize window button. Then I can start dragging windows.

• To get YouTube URL after going live, go to Edit -> Copy YouTube URL

• For some reason, the Canon livescreen display went dark but I can still see myself, but mic is off. I think the mic turned itself off? Right! It needs to be charged since it’s connected directly to camera but doesn’t get power. I thought it did get power and automatically turned off when the camer was off. So, it gets power in the sense that it turns on and off when the camera does the same. However, it’s using the battery power. How long does battery last? It says 30+ hours, so we should be good. Charging from empty to full takes around two hours.

• VideoMic NTG User Guide & Support Hub | RØDE Microphones

• Weird: while the NTG was being charged via iMac USB and behind the iMac, far from my mouth, the levels showed it being loud! I pressed the -20db button and it helped.

• YouTube delay seems better today. Only about 11 seconds.

• Comments overlay stayed on screen on BRB scene.

• Looks like iPad loses Sidecar if you step away/laptop goes to sleep. Turning iPad off and back on from menubar doesn’t work.

• To delete unlisted videos, go to YouTube Studio, then Content.

• Got a great testimonial from a Ruby on Mac customer:

  • “The script was such a life saver. I was having problems for the last year getting a Flutter project to run on my regular laptop and ended up having to build it on my desktop instead this whole time. Finally got it working on my laptop too using your script after literally one year!”
