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.

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.
