Hello CP!

I need to lean on the CP collective regarding my upcoming wedding!

We, like many others, have changed our wedding plans. Significantly reduced the number of guests and have moved the whole thing outdoors.

Naturally we opted to stream to those who cant be there and this has become a bit more difficult than I thought.

We have good WiFi everywhere except where we will be having the ceremony. Signal takes a nose dive as soon as we leave the back deck.

Plan is to have the laptop in the good wifi area and hopefully run a USB cable to a good webcam with some good mics. I have neither of these things.

I'm pretty sure I have the software side of things sorted out, just lacking a decent camera/mic. We will stream to youtube live as that seems simple and includes a way to broadcast to a private link.

Anyone have any equipment like this I could borrow for a weekend? I realize it may be a bit of a big ask loaning something like this to a guy you don't know from a hole in the wall but figured I'd try.

Failing that, any opinions on webcams that won't break the bank?

Anyone been through this before with some advice to simplify things?
