Hey everyone! Not sure if this is the right sub-forum for this but figured it was best. I did my first YouTube livestream earlier this week, and it was great! There was one issue though - during the stream my power in my house went out for a second then came back on. I was livestreaming using a webcam and my laptop (so no issue from power outage there) but was using my Focusrite Scarlett audio interface with a good mic for the audio.

As soon as the power glitched, my audio input went to the internal mic on the computer (which isn't good, hah). I tried to have it go back to using the interface but had no luck. The interface was on, in system preferences it showed it was on and receiving signal, and I tried clicking the little camera thing in the URL box up top and changing it there, but nothing worked. Do any of you know how to switch audio inputs during a livestream??

Please let me know if you have any ideas on this, and thanks in advance!
