I know it could last year, but with all of the "updates" to Skype, I cannot make it work anymore. I am using one PC for vMix and Skype.

Just wants to add, for those who might miss that, one needs to turn External on too (vMix's bottom row, between Record and Stream).

You'll know if you forgot to turn on the External Output in vMix because you will see the vMix color bars (see below) in the Skype video selection window instead of your vMix video output. sinc747 attached the following image(s): vMix in Skype video window.jpg (177kb) downloaded 3 time(s).
