Hello and thank you for your wonderful software!
We use the basic version in our university to show the information on screens in campus. We use slides and live video input sometimes. Can you please add the auto slideshow for PowerPoint files? It can be without transition effects, but automatic.
THANK YOU!

Why not play the Power Point on another PC, and link them via Network cable, and do a screen capture...This is how I do it , and with great results....Yes, then I will need two operators, but if the powerpoint needs to be manually operated, a remote switch for the powerpoint pc can be employed.....I have done it many times.....The presenter manually operated the powerpoint from the podium, while all I did was to switch from a full screen of him to a PiP or just switch from presenter to the powerpoint........I see vMix as a multi-input video switcher, why complicate it with full powerpoint control......

Are you cleaning your home with a toothbrush? Don't you think, that this is too complicated?
We need to rotate this slides 24/7/365 and only a few minutes a day to show a live videofeed. Two computers, screen capture...

Actually, I forgot this....but, for me, I do NOT like to clutter a single PC with everything, plus, in most of my events, I have a few presenters with powerpoint presentations, so, one pc for all that, and vMix on another...In that way, I can concentrate on my end, and let smeone else deal with the powerpoint or any other application.......
