I have seen several posts about this function, I would just like to add my request to that list.

I would like to see both a "4 Caller" and a "8 caller" GREENROOM function added to the next release of vMix.

Failing that perhaps Heath could do an indepth tutorial video on how to setup a functional GREENROOM.

Thanks

Whit

What functionality do you need in your green room?

Relatively easy to achieve an audio-only version using a single audio bus.

There are more complex versions if you also want video (requires use of one output) and/or independent producer TalkBack (requires a second audio bus).

You set up a greenroom the same way you set up a production.

Designate an output and bus as the greenroom, and that as the return feed to the callers you want in the greenroom.

Then, when you want to switch them from the greenroom to the production, change the return feeds to the production ones.

You need to do a bit more than this, but yes this is the general idea.

I mean, you'd need to make and put something on the video output & add the guest audio to the greenroom bus (both of which I thought were a given), but I can't think of anything else that'd need to be done, nor do I do anything else.

It's a script that takes maybe 10-15 minutes to write, and almost all that time is getting the code to add or remove people on the video output multiview.

Of course, it's a bit different if you want to send everyone a special greenroom without their own video being sent back to them on a delay (which I always find preferable) but when you have more than 2 callers, that's impossible with only 4 outputs. And with only 2 callers, having 2 separate outputs isn't all that more complex than just having one, because you no longer need to fiddle around with adding/removing callers on a multiview.

If you plan far enough ahead and think things out, you don't even need to use complex scripting to figure out where people are in the multiview, because you'll already know. Same goes for if you're taking them all out of the greenroom at once.

In those cases, or if you aren't putting callers' video in the greenroom at all, it's 1 or 2 basic web scripts (depending on what all you need to do) that can be knocked out in less than half that time.

Use a dynamic input and you can use the same script for every caller instead of needing 1 per.

A Heath video on various Green Room solutions would be great.

And also,

If,
Guests are joining the broadcast with their mobile phones using a vMix Call connection,

and the Broadcaster absolutely refuses to use a headset,

For example,
A video on the best audio configuration for a live broadcast scenario with at least two guests,

would be great too.
