I thing this would be a real challenge, but if we can use two or more skype conversations as sources for vMix without complex pipelines of capturing video and audio, it would be a great product!

FWIW, I've been using VoiceMeeter Banana, which is a software audio mixer for Windows. It provides the multiple mix-minus feeds necessary to bridge between things like Skype calls, or other video conference services.

I've documented my experience working this out on my blog.

Although I started using Wirecast I've since switched to vMix.

The very latest beta of VoiceMeeter Banana (silly name, yes?) includes a feature called VBAN. This lets you stream 4 separate outgoing audio streams over the LAN to other instances of VoiceMeeter. This basically allows you to have different PCs act as audio sub-mixers for an upstream PC.

I plan on trying to use this to integrate VoiceMeeter & vMix when next I need to connect a WebRTC video conference bridge to a G+ Hangout.

Thanks for sharing Michael, and in such detail!
We too use VoiceMeeter, which is awesome for Skyping with vMix.

Thnak you mjgraves, I also use Virtual Audio Cables (another flavour) to get audio, but this capability to stream audio over the lan could be interesting to get diverse video callers at once, even if them cannot see any video in return (only hearing audio).

I have a license for VAC as well. It's just not as obvious to use as VoiceMeeter.

VoiceMeeter Banana can readily create 2 separate mix-minus feeds. By cascading multiple instances, using multiple hosts, you can create even more. Although there is some latency to the network transit. It isn't likely to be problematic.

Video switching or compositing is a video conference function. I'm well versed in such systems, having a long history in IP telecom. Even free, WebRTC-based services like Talky.io can do a decent job. Just capture the output of one user monitor into vMixHD.

I prefer to use an HDMI capture card for this, so that the VC session and vMix are on separate systems.
