Do you use Zoom for your virtual attendees? if so, how do you set up the audio for the people on zoom to hear the person with a microphone in the room?

I spent an entire day sitting in an empty room with virtually all the same equipment trying to use all my brain power to work out how it would all work together. I came up with almost the same solution as you. I wish I found your video before that. I probably would have had it going in an hour or two. Great video. Thanks.

On of the best got so many ideas from this u so want more videos😍

[raymondbisnar]

Thank you very much for sharing this subject, may I know if you have some trouble shooting video or common issues you encountered, recommended reliable connectors and cables, for technical reference

Nice video... Would be great to see this video in a landscape mode

[ranjeetsharma]

Thanks a lot... I was looking for this setup from long time

Excellent video, but I have a very noob question. Which of the 3 laptops is signed into Zoom as the host (if any) and which are just signed in as guests? I'm connecting an analog mixer (Behringer 1204 USB) into my laptop, and my guests are either receiving a distorted audio signal or no audio at all. I am brand new at this and very frustrated. I don't have any video switcher either hardware or software. TIA.

Thank you for this video Gregory. I have one question. Why do you have audio going out from the production laptop into the mixer, then from the mixer back into the production laptop?

[kaffepojke]

Great video. Do you have a similar video for a full hybrid setup where everyone can see and hear everybody else? I'm just getting started and found your video very helpful.

Great setup! How do you deal with audio feedback?

[gianninni]

Thank you for this video. How about having 2 locations attend the same Townhall meetings, say through Teams Meeting, location 1 has attendees present physically and location 2 has attendees too physically. Let's say location 1 has the 1st speaker, how can location 2 audience besides the video, how can location 2 get good audio coming from the speaker from location 1?

What are you using for the downstage monitor? Great video and walkthrough

[rss_thms]

Great video. Question: when you bring up a virtual/remote attendee on the projector screen and have them speak to the room – would you get audio feedback issues and, if so, how would you overcome them?

[TH-ouhq]

I got a question but I will start saying thank you for your video. It was very helpful but I run into some kind of problem setting up a meeting. I got a mixer, I got speakers, cameras, projector. Everything works well until I need to send sound from my microphones directly to zoom. I know the mixer should be connected to laptop through USB, but I have no idea what to use. I am new to this. Please help me! Thank you!

[TerenceKearns]

very helpful indeed. question: do you really need to run laptop audio output through the desk when you can bring in the audio via the HDMI on the ATEM switcher (since it has n audio mixer)? Also, can I substitute an iPad or mobile phone using a HDMI output adaptor for the zoom/teams laptop?

[leonardnikaj]

Great video! Thank you Greg! I am not sure if I saw the speaker camera view and switching. Was that on the vmix or video switcher and set up for zoomers to view the speaker?

[kaffepojke]

Greg, what model of docking station are you using in this setup? Do you recommend that one or possibly something better? I am having trouble getting an HDMI out signal from a HUB. I just got a new laptop that has a Thunderbolt 4 connection on it, is there a Thunderbolt 4 docking station you would recommend.

Thank you !

Wow this is far more complex that it needs to be. Have a look at how we do it and how the organisation we have helped do it

[christopherracine]

Hey there, does the virtual control PC run Zoom as well?

[dnlmedia]

So you running zoom and vmix omn the production laptop? Or how are you getting the output of vmix into zoom?
