Play video embedded in PowerPoint and mix multiple computers and cameras to a GoToWebinar -
Have you ever wanted to play a video embedded in a PowerPoint file through GoToWebinar but can't because the audience sees a jumpy video with a low frame rate? Or you want to show off a computer p...
11 Feb Second Update - The desktop apps for GTT and GTM won't work with the ATEM unless you can find an "IT Professional" who can whitelist certain ports in Windows 10 systems to allow them to receive video for GTT and GTM. In other words, unless you want to screw with your registry files in hopes of making GTT or GTM work, you might want to investigate other web conference providers that just treat the ATEM Mini like a webcam. (It looks like Chris was using a Mac, so it looks like Macs don't have this problem)
11 Feb Update - this post was marked as an answer too soon. Got the ATEM Mini, and it works with everything EXCEPT GoToTraining and GoToMeeting. Support is telling me that the ATEM is "too professional" for GoToTraining and it only supports simple webcams. Still trying to make it work, but not looking good. This could be a deal breaker for GTT going forward.
ORIGINAL POST:
Thank you - this is really helpful. I ordered an ATEM Mini earlier this week and am eagerly awaiting its arrival. This device will do a lot to make my GoToTraining sessions a lot more professional. I've been frustrated a long time by the inability to zoom smoothly and control the focus of webcams, and now I can use a real camera to capture my video.
ruthiae In some cases (as referenced by GoTo users on this thread) the right ATEM settings can achieve broadcast quality on Mac OS. I'm afraid this isn't a set up we directly support right now, but you may find value in the Community discussion around the integration techniques.
We made it with obs. It was possible to put the 1080p into a 720p video and we started the virtual cam in obs. That worked very well and we were able to choose the obs camera as webcam.
But the bigger problem was: everytime someone logged into the webinar with a smartphone, the upload of the video went down to 300-1000kbps. Without any smartphone in a session it was around 1800-2500 so the video was a lot cleaner and better without any smartphone in the session.
Our costumer is user of the plus product and is paying 500€ in a month. So i think for that amount of money it should be possible to get a good videoquality. 2500kbps in 720p would be enough when it would be stable. But there is anything that makes trouble when a smartphone is logged into the webinar 😞
Edit.: Mac didnt work for us. Video was cropped (GoTo thought it is a 4:3 format) and the video was mirrored.. But it was possible to choose the Atem as a webcam in 1080p60
