Hello all,

I've been playing with Shortcuts this week, mainly for PowerPoint slides to advance and go back on slides. I then add these shortcuts into the web view to therefore allow a remote presenter access to change his/her slides from anywhere in the world during a live broadcast.

Obviously the downfall of PowerPoint in VMIX is that audio/video doesnt play. I just wondered whether it was possible if I had a PowerPoint machine running over NDI as an input into VMIX, that i could assign similar shortcuts to manage the slides that would be sent over NDI back to the PowerPoint machine?

Any help would be really appreciated!

Thank you.

I spent a lot of time looking at remote operations. What you'll quickly find out is that many presenters just won't have time or willingness to do any of that.
Plus you are then depending on their machine.

We one of 2 things. The easiest, convert everything to Google slides and let people use Google Slides remote. Works great, super easy to use (It's a just a link) and everyone can be connected ahead of time in the case of multiple sessions.


Option 2 also involves Google remote, but as a cueing device. We just create a looping slide with animation and sound. That cues the graphics person to advance the actual Powerpoint or Keynote Machine locally.
