@kenzoat worked a bit on this, and I believe when he tried to follow normal setup instructions for accessing the camera, as might be expected it was already in use by the microscope app. It wasn’t exactly clear to us how we could send the stream elsewhere while still having the microscope app running. @kenzoat implemented a workaround, livestreaming a “screenshare” of the camera’s preview to YouTube. However, the Raspberry Pi will become non-responsive (no input signal at all to the monitor after moving the mouse around, etc.), often with high-temperature warnings (thermometer symbol) popping up on the RPi. The longest stream we’ve been able to have is 132 hours, though often it’s been a lot shorter. The fix has been to unplug and replug in the RPi, and set up the streaming again.
Any thoughts or suggestions on how to get a livestream of the camera feed sent to YouTube? Happy to provide more info.
