Hi all,

Have a client that is requiring we use their vMix through Windows Remote Desktop, I use a Streamdeck to control most functions I use and of course my microphone. Been trying to figure out how to use two through Remote Desktop app with no luck, anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Chris

Edit: I have to use the Windows Remote Desktop app

Hey thanks Vince, Sorry just to be clear, I'm already remoting in to the destination computer and using vMix, what I'm trying to do is now add my Microphone and Streamdeck.

Following up this thread as it seems like I need to handle a broadcast through remote access this weekend but never did it before. Seems like it should do fine with software like TeamViewer or AnyDesk (which seems smoother so far for me).

But my problem is also with a Stream Deck. We have quite a few shortcuts assigned to our Stream Deck and it does not seem to work straight away from my computer at home when accessing the remote computer. Tried looking at the Companion app, but I'm not sure where to even start with that one. Is there any easy way to access the vMix shortcuts from my Stream deck at home through remote access?

So far my best bet seems to be having to reconfigure all the shortcuts to keyboard keys, but that could end up being a problem if I need to use the keyboard. Obviously would save me some time if I did not have to reconfigure everything aswell :)

Yeah, I got the same software and profile on both machines. The remote computer is the one I usually have it plugged into, so had to restore it to my home computer today.

That software did exactly what I wanted, thanks alot! Now I think things will be a bit easier this weekend.

Actually now when trying it VirtualHere would not connect to the Stream Deck from the remote destination, guess it might be something with the ports in my network that stops this. So still looking for a good option to use the Stream deck smoothly via remote access. Or maybe someone who knows why I might not be able to connect. I tried opening the port 7575 but didn't help.

Ok, my bad. I had forwarded to port to an internal IP which was valid on wifi, but not on LAN. Now things are working.

However, the buttons don't seem to respond when using more than one layer of buttons on the Stream deck. The first layer works, but not the 2nd. Any ideas?

I add a +1 for Virtualhere - we run parsec on the remote AWS Win Server machine and Virtualhere Client which connects to an M1 mac running parsec client and virtualhere server plus an Akai APC mini for Vmix control - been doing a show every week on that system - works like a dream.

To make it easier we use a VPN - Wireguard to be exact, we have a micro T2 instance that runs it - very solid and low latency compared to other VPN solutions we tried.
