Tried using both a shortcut, and right clicking on a zoom input in vMix, and selecting Unmute Self...neither method are resulting in the vMix participant in Zoom unmuting itself. Shouldn't have to, but I tried making it a cohost, and that did not change the behavior. Mute Self also did not work.
Zoom version is 6.0.0.
Thanks for adding this feature, looking forward to getting it to work as intended

I haven't tried this new feature yet, but "self" refers to the vmix input to the Zoom call (ie what vmix is feeding into the meeting), not an individual participant in that meeting.
Just like regular Zoom, you only have the ability to unmute yourself, and not other people (which would be a big privacy issue).

Thanks, I used to work for Zoom so I'm familiar...the vMix input into the meeting is a participant as far as Zoom is concerned. That's how it has the ability to pass audio either way as well as video. The only behavior I would expect from "Unmute Self" is for the vMix instance within Zoom to unmute itself. That is the behavior that I am attempting to trigger with the shortcut and menu item, and that is the behavior that is not functioning.

Maybe you have your own name for what vMix is putting into the meeting, I call it the vMix participant, or the vMix instance. Regardless, I didn't realize a separate update to the Zoom Plugin was needed, now that I have updated things seem to work as hoped. When I select "Unmute Self" the participant that is in the meeting and bringing in my audio from vMix is unmuted. Thanks again for this functionality addition...it is very nice to be able to build this in as an automation and not have to go manually unmute the vMix participant every time it joins the meeting. If you are saying that the audio is unmuted but the vMix participant would remain otherwise muted, that's not what I'm seeing in the Zoom meeting, I see the vMix participant literally become muted and unmuted within Zoom. It works like I hoped, but just want to clear up any confusion. Curiously though, while the menu item is working, the shortcut isn't having any effect.

Here's a video of my vMix with the Zoom window overlayed...while the menu isn't captured in the recording showing me click on "Unmute Self", you can see that what I'm doing in vMix is correctly effecting the vMix participant in the Zoom meeting. As I mentioned, the menu items are working, but the shortcuts are not. Let me know if you want images or a video of the shortcuts https://imgur.com/a/CjVBY5L

Please contact support and send a "support report" from vMix when instructed to: https://www.vmix.com/contact-us.aspxYou are correct that the vMix participant is what these control. (We do not call the vMix end a participant to avoid confusion) I have also just tested and confirmed that the shortcuts work as expected, so there will be a configuration issue somewhere, and something we can identify from the support report.
