I am having a heck of a time getting NDI to work in app. I have turned in on in meeting policies in admin but it does not show up in permissions in app no matter what computer I use. and ideas?

That makes sense. I added to policy last night. Wondering if I missed a step. "assigning to user" I added to meeting policy- created a new policy and enabled NDI- is there another step assigning policy to user?

Got it working. Missed the assign to user step! Thanks!

Thanks for sharing this.
I am looking into Teams right now and will try it out.
Please let us know about your 100 participant session next week. I hope it works!
Cheers

are you using one instance of teams for all 100 presenters or multiple?

I have a live conference coming up that I am thinking about using teams. I've been using Zoom with screen capture with multiple multiviews. I did add a switch and configured for NDI that is now working with additional computers for the zoom pining method. the client now has added multiple PowerPoint presentations. Teams seems to be the way to go. Will be working on getting teams NDI into my workstation today.

So far I have been able to get Vmix into Teams but Vmix is not seeing teams on NDI/Desk Capture. Any ideas?

yes I enabled ndi in the permissions. Started a meeting. I did get MS teams local MS Teams active speaker amd MS teams echo to show up as an input option. these are just the purple MS teams backgrounds. when I started to record in teams not vmix, my camera in the meeting was visible in the MS Teams input option.

I will start a meeting with multiple participants later tonight to see if vmix will see them. I have meeting with client next Wed and want to show them this is all working!

Hi,

Just wondering how you went with your 100 participant stream, were you able to get the NDI streams for all users or is there a cap on the number of NDI streams?

Thanks!

Hehe :), on vMix NDI Input Panel, does you have any problem to scroll (speed/flow) NDI Sources before you add it on vMix? Is was easy to find the people that you want on this panel, for example to search a specific name that raised his hand?

We had an hour on YouTube and MS Stream today to our 17,000 employees. I made very intense tests prior to this rather big event and I have used Teams for several months now together with vMix using NDI. But today I had very strange problems and I'm curious if anyone else has experienced the same thing.

Even though I have a decent Xeon W-2145 machine with 8 cores (16HT), RTX 2080 TI, SSD etc., I noticed that having more than 12 Teams hooked up via NDI made my CPU hit 100%. This was a couple of months ago. So after that I have used "placeholders" in vMix, in other words a bunch of NDI-inputs (normally 4-8) that I quickly can assign to a Teams member by right-clicking on the input and select the person in the menu. This has worked very well and has been a rather okay solution when having large meetings where you need to connect to many available speakers in a production.

But as said, today this did not work as usual. I had just 17 persons in the Teams meeting and selected 4 of them at a time. The really strange thing that happened was that I only got the purple Teams box with moving particles in it for about half of them, no video. But when looking into my Teams app video was there for that person. So I selected one of the persons I had active in another "placeholder" and it popped up as expected, and then back again to the person that didn't work. But then the purple box came back again with moving particles. Usually those moving particles indicate that the person is there, but the camera is off. And as said, video was visible in the Teams app.

I even restarted Teams behind the scenes during the broadcast, but the result was the same. About half of them came thru to vMix with video.

But here comes another strange thing. When selecting one of these "purple ones" (where video didn't come thru) and assign them to output (program), then the video suddenly started after a couple of seconds. It felt like vMix sent some kind of message to Teams to prioritize that specific NDI-feed as it was in program. According to Martin at vMix, only a tally signal is returned from vMix to Teams which then could have caused this and triggered Teams, but it can't be as I had a multiscreen-PIP in program where there were some "purple boxes" mixed with working video feeds. And Martin says that this should also send that tally signal. So it's really strange that the video started when it was in full frame in program.

All this really messed up my production I felt real bad. I have an on-going discussion with vMix, but they point towards MS. I have a ticket to our Teams group at our IT-dep, but I don't think they know too much regarding NDI.

So, does anyone have a clue...?
