I'm planning to use Vmix Call as the basis for CNN-style round table discussions - all with remote participants via Vmix Call.

I'm used to having producer-to-guest communication during live webcasts via IFB (interruptable feedback) in the earphone of each guest. This is especially useful when "coaching" non-professional talent - when they're not speaking.

I'd really like to see this come to Vmix soon. Please?

Thanks for those options.

I did see them in the documentation. I especially like the virtual green room model.

The challenge that I have with both is that I often want to speak to one guest alone (as an IFB) while the others are still talking and listening - and both solutions talk to all guests simultaneously. If you do that, especially with non-professionals, you'll often tend to distract the one who is speaking.

In my view of a more perfect world (vMix-21?), there would be an individual push-to-talk "switch" (perhaps locking) for each input and an "All button as well. I realize that screen real-estate is at a premium. Perhaps there could be an "intercom" button in the lower right-hand corer (next to the audio mixer?) that allows you to configure which inputs contain guests that you'd want to talk to - so there aren't too many locking PTT switches visible at one time.

On a related point, it would be great if you could tear that off and use that on a separate monitor - and maybe do the same thing with the audio mixer.

This looks a bit like one that I used to rent:

Thoughts?

Thank you.

I recently implemented an IFB system for vMix call participants on our show using Shortcuts and an X-keys controller.

XwbXw5U.jpg (892kb) downloaded 19 time(s).

The system allows me to hold down a button and talk to any one of the hosts or guests.

Here's how it works:
-By default, all of our hosts/guests are sent the Master audio feed (with mix-minus obviously)
-When the director (aka me) wants to talk to any one of them, I just press and hold the button that corresponds to that person. That executes a shortcut...
-The shortcut routes the "B" audio bus to that person. Bus B has just my microphone and nothing else, so it's a true IFB system in the sense that when I am talking to someone, all they hear is me. It interrupts the master audio feed
-When I release the button, the host/guest I was talking to is then sent the Master audio feed again

Notes:
-You can bind multiple shortcuts to a single key to do stuff like create an "ALL" button for talking to everyone
-You can press two or more buttons at the same time to talk to multiple people simultaneously

Shortcut example for the "REM-1 SAM" button:

I hope someone finds this helpful!

Thanks I found the shortcut information really helpful. I've been setting up my new StreamDeck today so trying to figure out shortcuts and triggers. Like the hold down and release to restore option.
Very nice.

Hello, new to Vmix. I am remotely calling the show. How do I speak to the technician as well as can I speak directly to on camera talent?
