vMix Call is a very nice feature but it lacks one very important component.
Most callers into say a conference or seminar these days, need to share their desktop - i.e. PowerPoint presentations while making the call.

vMix cannot do that on its own, though one can get around this deficiency by using Skype - which allows both video PIP plus desktop sharing simultaneously.
Skype can then be used on a separate computer and brought in as an NDI shot or even on the same computer running vMix.

If vMix can include this feature it would hugely improve its functionality for live events, especially for those of us who (like many I'm sure) use vMix to broadcast conferences, seminars and workshops. If Skype can do this, I'm sure vMix could (?) and I look forward to its being available in the not too distant future.

There was a time when this was not practical using WebRTC. Now I've seen it done. There are two possible approaches:

1 - Collect media from two sources and composite them on a local canvas, which is then relayed.

2 - Send each stream separately, allowing the far end to perform the composite. Obviously requires more bandwidth.

Vmix Basic does not support Vmix Call. One will need the HD version

Hi,

Of course you can use vMix Basic to set up a video call connection to a video call host.- Connect to Call.
Is then but a resolution of 720x576

Greeting

You can use the software Manycam, they have a free version.

In Manycam you can input your webcam and your desktop and mix it.
Manycam creates a virtual webcam that you can use in vmixcall configuring Chrome.

It's free and easy.

You are right.

There are now enough examples of this in the wild that vMix Call could be extended to support screen sharing.

+1 Screenshare for vMixCall with Whiteboard functionality (if possible).

I use a 3CX PBX and they have webmeetings included. They use webRTC with screenshare and whiteboard. So it should be possible.

Next problem is, especially these corona days, if you are not the host, you have almost no chance to connect vMix as a guest to existing bridges/conferences/meetings. You always need to screencapture from the software provider. Most of them allow webRTC guests. So the basic functionality is already there.

For adding Powerpoint presentations one can add them in vMix directly. If you don't have access to the pptx file or they don't wonna share it, ask if they are willing to present online. It will generate a http link that you can add as a webpage. This will even work with custom fonts.

Agreed. Some integrated browser-based screen-shaking option is needed. I’d pay more for this. +1
