Hi vMix team and community

I’d like to request some extended functionality related to vMix Call and the API. As we build custom interfaces for producers/operators, it would be amazing to have better programmatic control over the lifecycle of calls.

Here are some specific features that would be incredibly useful:


VideoCallResetPassword
Generates a new password/link for an existing Call input (same as clicking “Reset Link” in the GUI).

AddInput&Value=Call
Allows dynamic creation of Call inputs via API.
It would be even better if we could pass optional parameters like:

Return video source (Output1/2/etc)

Return audio (BusA/Master/etc)

Bitrate / resolution preferences

Retrieve the current Call password via XML API
At the moment, the password is hard to extract or not exposed clearly in the XML. This would help a lot in managing invitations programmatically.

Additional ideas
Managed queue of callers per input:
Allow multiple callers to attempt connection to the same Call input, and queue them (or give producers the option to accept the next one).

"Channel not available" screen:
When a Call input is already in use, new callers should receive a customizable “Channel busy / not available” message instead of simply overriding the previous caller.

I understand that many of these controls are available in the GUI or through manual work, but exposing them via API would be a game-changer for people building automated, remote-friendly workflows.


Best regards,
Óscar Gómez
