I have a hard time figuring out the way to do this :
In a perfect world I would toggle a keyboard shortcut (streamdeck or classic keyboard) that would change the color of my 8 vmixcall inputs.
So pressing the shortcut would change caller01 to red , caller02 to blue caller03 to green etc. Pressing the same key again would bring them back to default.
I need all those inputs to be different colors in order to help me build the different multiviews (i'm sure I am not alone doing this).
I obviously do it by hand now, one after the other, but it would be really nice to automate the process, as I need to reset them a few times for the client to connect and approve the changes etc.
I tried to play around with SetCCgamma , lift , etc With no luck.
Anyway ... two different shortcuts would also be nice , doesn't have to be a toggle...
Any ideas ?

Apologies if I've misunderstood the question... Do you mean you want to layout your vMix call multi views with something other than a black rectangle showing ? If that's the case, I've been adding some stock images of video conference calls as a multiview layer in each call input, so that I can see how things look with somebody's face and check that switching is working OK. Then I use a 'MultiViewOverlay' command on the Streamdeck to show/hide the placeholder images.

Adding some stock images to the call inputs is indeed a good solution. However just coloring the call inputs would have the benefit of being usable in all your different project as a global shortcut, and also not having to bring in another 8 inputs of images on a 50+ input project. I still cant figure out how to change the values. They seem to have no effect on the "black rectangle" of the call input. Unless I do it directly by hand in the Color Adjust menu My guess is that the color correction functions are meant to be used with small increments, with a knob, or some sort of a fader/slider. -L

I'd probably go the way matkeane said as it would be easier for the client to see placeholders that showed which box was the host etc rather than just a colour.
But I had a play with it and it can be done.
Use SetCCLiftR = 1 on each input to to make the black image Red, then use SetCCHue to a different value between -1 and 1 for each input to move them to different colours.
Set both back to 0 for all inputs when you are done.
