I just updated to vMix 29 and the latest Zoom plugin, and it seems like I can no longer just hit join (as a guest), and I have to be logged into a Zoom account. Is this true or is something else going on? If this is true, there's a drawback in that our production team shares vMix show files, which would carry over the credentials every time someone hits save, and we would be constantly having to log out and in as the correct user.

In fact, it would be great as a feature add if the Zoom plugin credentials didn't get saved into the vMix file, but was saved as part of the vMix settings that are unique to each install.

Thanks for the info!

Hi,

I find this odd as we also develop Zoom apps and our participants are not required to do so. This is causing issues, as we are getting ready to upgrade to vMix 29 from 27 on 40 machines, none of which have zoom accounts. We always host the meetings from other devices, and vmix joins as a regular participant. This is a must, as vmix has been auto-approving waiting room participants once it's co-host. So we never give vMix host privileges. But also, licencing all these devices is a no go.

Are there any workarounds? Your help documents still say it's not mandatory, contrary to the above. We unfortunately cannot continue using vMix if this is forced.

Thank you
