As in subject.

I love vMIX but it's 2025 and 720 is a shame not to use the other "sh.." word ;)

To address the question in your subject, vMix to vMix has had 1080p since vMix Call was introduced, if I recall correctly.

And there have been ways to get 1080p out of browser based calls, but those are a lot more at the whim of the browser and connection.

Now to address this nonsense:

Yes, it's 2025.

And 720p is still the standard for video conferencing.

For the most part, it's also the standard for HD broadcast.

It's also, perhaps more importantly, the standard for built-in webcams in consumer grade laptops.

I would be happy if i could connect 720p. The maximum i see from mobile phones is 640*360. Ι dont know if i could "blame" vmix team,mobile phones i used or the greek mobile networks. But i never see 720p un-fortunatelly with firefox or chrome

Most of the time, I get 720p with an average internet connection. It starts at a lower quality and gradually improves to 720p if the bandwidth is sufficient. Also, whether the connection is made via P2P or through a TURN server, a direct connection is always better.

GPT explaination:
vMix Call is built on WebRTC, which means it attempts to establish a direct, peer‐to‐peer connection using a technology called STUN. This direct connection usually gives you lower latency and higher quality. However, if network conditions (like strict firewalls or NAT issues) prevent a direct connection, vMix Call will automatically fall back to using a TURN server—a relay (i.e. third party server) that passes the media between the endpoints.

There’s even an option in vMix Call called “Allow only direct peer to peer connections.” When this is enabled, the software won’t fall back to the TURN server; it will only connect if a direct P2P link is possible, which is useful for diagnosing network restrictions.

This hybrid approach ensures that vMix Call optimizes for direct connections when possible, while still providing a reliable connection via third-party servers when necessary.

Yes these things are known. But i wonder why vdo.ninja gives me 1080p that it also is webrtc and vmixcall maximum 640*480. Of course i prefer vmix call because it is vmix inside service and more easy to handle video/audio returns.

For me, it's not nonsense but a real work necessity – full-screen remote calls in Full HD resolution. If this required a high-quality internet connection or an equally high-quality camera on the caller's end, those would be separate issues, regardless of the fact that vMIX could gain a huge competitive advantage with Full HD call functionality.
