I have a client (online news station) that is using all 8 vMix Call inputs on one PC (Greenroom-PC), using three more PC's (TD-PCs 1-3) to bring in a pair each of these callers using NDI do a 30-minute interview, then changes callers to different pairs. Each TD-PC uses a script/shortcut combination to change the Video Source of their pair of callers (on the Greenroom PC) to a double box from the TD-PC (via NDI). Currently they can assign one of three Outputs to each of three double boxes (remember Output #1 is Program Output), but when they add a 4th TD-PC they will not be able to do a return video feed.
To further complicate matters, they want to add a 2nd Greenroom PC in the near future.
Can VideoCallVideoSource allow Inputs?

Tom, I'm an idiot - cause I don't really understand the setup you are outlining. Feels that something is missing in your description... Anyways, I believe your request is rather popular, and so for have not been fulfilled due to the resources needed. See for example https://forums.vmix.com/...-from-all-kind-of-inputsHave you considered using Fullscreen(s), converted to NDI (e.g. via Magewell Pro Converters), as a way to get additional output feeds? /richard

Sometimes it's hard to put into words a concept that is difficult for the author to grasp. But I think my FR is simple.
With a vMix Call Input I can select any one of the four Ouputs as return video to the caller. But only 1 of 4. If I have 5 callers and want a unique return feed to each, I'm out of luck.
So... I want caller1 to see Output1, caller2 to see Output2, caller3 to see Output3, caller4 to see Output4, and... caller5 to see an Input. That is my request.
:)

I only see this as a lacking option IF all callers need that individual return feed at the same time else changing the output source is one button or trigger away Ok there is probably a good reason for each caller to have a personalized return feed at the same time although i don't see it really. Are we turning vMix as production tool into a caller's personal erotica return feed tool? ;-) Really hoping to return to pre covid soon
