Can vMix's External Output be used as a camera source in Skype anymore? 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 don't see vMix as a potential camera source in Skype. What am I missing?

In the Drop down to select the camera, you sometimes have to scroll down if you have a lot of video sources that Skype sees.

Congrats Tom!
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).

Good point Richard.

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.
