I'm sure that there is a simple solution to this, but I'm having a hard time finding it.

We're scheduled for a live webcast fundraiser at the end of the month, and here's the setup -

We will have only a single camera on a local news anchor who is the host. Aside from sources made from pre-taped videos and a feed from a website, we're also going to have a laptop running Zoom which will have several 'Zoom Parties' signed in. We will cut to one of the Zoom Parties every now and then, and the show host will remain on screen as a Pip so he can interact with the parties. We'll have a 2nd monitor connected to the laptop duplicating the laptop's main screen, and that will be pointed toward the host so he can see the parties as well.

Therefore, he needs to be able to hear the Zoom feed's audio, and I'm guessing that it can't be a normal speaker connected to the laptop because that could be picked up by his lavaliere microphone and cause audio feed problems.

I was thinking perhaps a Bluetooth earpiece connected to the laptop, but that would be constantly hot, and would be a distraction in his ear when the Zoom parties weren't live.

Hi some thoughts
are you integrating Zoom into VMIX using NDI with mix-minus sound? See article https://www.vmix.com/kno...h-return-video-and-audio

This way you can remove the feedback as everyone is talking in a call. If you do have problems with feedback then options could be controlling host sound (muting mic) when zoom talking or as you mentioned using an in ear monitor system.

Using VMIX you can use the Screen outputs from the main PC to display to the host with the combined mix of zoom and pip or any screen format.
