vMix Call supports Screen-Sharing but not in parallel to Webcam #13

Open rse opened 2 years ago

The design of vMix Call is based on a single video stream per call. One can switch the content of the video stream between Webcam and Screen-Sharing (in case of the Advanced vMix Call) but there is no possibility to ingest the Webcam and the Screen-Sharing in parallel -- at least not with an acceptable user-experience.

Workaround: (1) give remote callers 2 vMix Call URLs and teach them how to use two browser tabs in parallel (one for the Webcam, one for the Screen-Sharing), or (2) use the VDO.Ninja based VDON Call to ingest remote callers.

Recommendation: keep vMix Call a single-video stream based input inside vMix, but allow two vMix Call ids to be "merged" in the frontend for use with the Webcam and Screen-Sharing in parallel. Known to the vendor under this feature request
