Hello,

I am new to the Vmix and I want to make a Videocall of 2 points.
The transmitter has to make a presentation with powerpoint and does not have the Vmix software.

Can it be done without software?

Maybe...there's a browser extension for Chrome called Reflect. It lets a user put their webcam into a window on theier desktop. That way if they share the desktop their image is included as well.

https://www.mgraves.org/...with-reflect-for-chrome/

You could get the presenters Powerpoint deck and present it from your vMix system. You'd need to control the slide playback, but you could send them a return feed so knew were they were.

You may be able to have them establish two vMix Call connections; one from Firefox and the other from Chrome. That way one could be the webcam and another the shared presentation.

All of these things require some effort/coordination/skill/practice.

Try NDI Scan Converter from Newtek. Its part of the free NDI tools and there is a portable version that can be run from a USB stick.

How would that be used with a remote participants presentation?

Hi,
How would you do that? The browser is asking for a camera when logged on vmix call.

NDI Scan Convertor will not do this.

On a Windows PC you could use the Logitech Capture application. It allows you have two sources; a webcam and desktop screen capture. You can create a composite shot that gets passed to vMix call as a virtual webcam.

If your guest is not very technical you might have to help them get this setup. I'd use TeamViewer for that.
