Hi all,

I wanted to share a simple message wall workflow I’ve been building and get some early feedback from people working with vMix in live productions.

I started developing this because I needed a lightweight way to handle audience messages and Q&A for events and streams, without relying on heavier platforms for occasional use. It’s still early-stage, which is exactly why I’d love input from this community.

Intended workflow:
- The audience sees a normal message wall on-site (PC + projector) or on their own devices
- In vMix, a separate transparent browser page is added as an input
- Individual messages or questions can be brought into the program output as overlays during Q&A or discussion segments

At this point I’m mainly looking for feedback around:
- vMix browser input behavior and limitations
- Readability and scaling at different input resolutions
- Any obvious edge cases you’d anticipate in live use

Small practical note from testing:
The chat scales automatically to the full browser width, so the browser input resolution has a noticeable impact on readability. It’s worth experimenting with different resolutions before going live.

I’m genuinely looking for early feedback to help validate the workflow. There is a paid tier, but my main goal here is to gather feedback.

If anyone wants to see what I’m working on, here’s the project:

Happy to answer questions or hear how others are currently handling audience interaction and Q&A in vMix.

Thanks! That’s a really good idea and honestly one of those “why didn’t I think of that myself” moments.
Exposing the message feed as XML or JSON for use as a data source makes a lot of sense, especially for GT titles and more traditional broadcast workflows.
This should be fairly straightforward to implement on my end, so I’ll definitely look at adding it in. Really appreciate you pointing it out. Eexactly the kind of practical, production-focused feedback I was hoping for.
