Please, please, please.
We need this!!!!
+1 for this function.

Desktop sharing with guest control of their slides remotely (such as PowerPoint Share Online) is SO desperately needed, especially in today's atmosphere with Covid-19. I would be willing to even pay $$$ for this feature, as all other work-a-rounds are way too difficult for the average user to understand and perform.

I work on a weekly Doctor/Patient Livestream for LACNETS, UCLA & City of Hope. These Online programs HAVE to be better quality that what Zoom Rooms has to offer, and up until now, it's been produced on-site where I can tie into the program's Laptop for PowerPoint presentations.
Now, with no Live-Guest meetings, I have to train 2-3 doctors 4-times a month on how to perform all of the work-a-rounds. And forget about the one's who work on Mac. It's a difficult task that fails way too often because it requires a mentality that only us Producers carry.

So, especially now WE really really need this option to be integrated into vMix. Trust me when I say that if you can accomplish this, vMix will be the ONLY one in the world with this and excel exponentially.

Silence from Vmix Team... it can be really useful for us, if we know what is the plan... Is this function planned, or not at all...

Maybe vMix can look into the code of jitsi.

Jitsi uses webRTC too and has screen sharing option built in.

+1 In vMix calls, screen capture is very necessary without any special difficulties, so that any user can do this.

2. It is very necessary to increase the number of simultaneous vMix calls. Personally, I now need at least 12 simultaneous sources. (I use the pro version)

3. Recently, the stability (stability) of vMix calls has greatly decreased - is it possible to improve the quality of work? At the moment, subscribers who regularly connected with high quality with difficulty and terrible quality are connected.

4. Last update disappointed! In the header of the vMix window of calls, the names of the channels connecting on the same channel were dynamically changed before. Now, the name of the first connected user remains in the header - it’s not very convenient for dynamic work.

5. Is it possible to correctly integrate Skype into vMix? To many it is easier to connect via Skype.

To add to this - screen sharing of a Powerpoint with animations and videos will always be lossy.

So another idea would be to allow a vmixcaller to control a specific input. So I have a powerpoint input and I can assign control of that input to a specific (or multiple) caller(s). That would be really neat and is probably easier implemented than screen sharing.

+1 on this. Currently looking at other solutions because of it. I'm also a little disappointed in the delay among guests. Not sure if there's anything I can do to make that better (I have 40Mbps up/1Gbit down). But I was watching this broadcast the other day and thought their call-ins and the ability to have the guest control and show their presentations was great.

Yeah, stop suggesting timely and useful features that would make your jobs easier! I'LL USE ALL CAPS AND BOLD FONTS NOW TO EMPHASIZE MY POINT.

Back on planet earth, we have a situation that could be made better with some (relatively simple) upgrades. No one is telling anyone what to do. If I'm out there looking at Livestream Studio 6 and StreamYard as possible ways to move beyond vMix, then it's probably in vMix's interest to hear my point of view.

Anyway, in the meantime I'm considering a multifaceted approach to having people share their screens on professional live streams, while still being able to use the vMix platform. Like perhaps having all the guests log into a zoom and share their screens that way, then I just capture the zoom window over desktop capture. Has anyone successfully done something like that?

You can share a screen... use OBS w/NDI kit as a desktop capture and then set the web browser source as the NDI feed. vMix call will then send the desktop and whatever else the client puts in OBS including their low quality camera and mic. This will let clients with Macs work too, and it's the only reason I didn't say to use vMix HD on the caller's computer (doesn't operate on mac).
Yes you'll have to do a lot more prep and probably remote-in to their computer to set it up and train them on what to do.
I figure if it's really worth it, everyone here complaining and using caps to convey their version of reality would have found this "relatively simple" solution by now and implemented it.
It's unfortunate that the mob starts to actually demand features and expecting the dev team to have it ready at the snap of their fingers.
Looking at vMix Call, it was added as a solution to do one thing: add video calls to the mix. If you want desktop sharing, go the extra mile for now and set up your callers with a trial version of vMix on pc or OBS w/NDI tools if on a mac.
vMix dev team doesn't owe you anything, please stop with the silly internet forum demands. It's ugly.
