There is an article in the knowledge base regarding setting up a cloud version of Vmix on AWS.

https://www.vmix.com/kno...azon-ec2--quick-overview

Looking through past posts regarding running Vmix on Windows Servers - it appears not recommended or supported. Has this now changed?

I'm about to start building a version in AWS for a test but Windows 10 is not supported as an Instance, only Windows Server 2019 and earlier.

Posts from a few years ago show many problems with running on cloud servers, but two years is a long time in IT. Anyone else wants to share latest knowledge findings?

Regards

Peter

Bottom line is, vMix needs direct access to a dedicated GPU, so while cloud computing is not "officially" supported by vMix, it will work on the "right" server as outlined in the above article.
Tom Sinclair did a recent show about it on "Streaming Idiots":


The FUTURE is NOW apparently (or at least coming real soon).

vMix in the cloud is working and was used for the virtual bike race in Belgium, 2 weeks ago.

there is a white paper about the setting and how it works

sorry for sharing this so late, I thought that was already known.

If you're interested I actually made a setup tutorial that takes about 20 minutes to get up and running on AWS

The only thing is you will need to get EC2 Instance limits adjusted which can take a couple days depending on how AWS support treats you.

This is mainly just getting the program running and in a state in which you can output a stream from.
