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.
Hi all,
I've encountered two problems I'd like some help with. If you know any, fire away:
1. Trying to use my Canon 60D Camera as the webcam to use for presentation. I've got a Blackmagic Ultrastudio mini recorder as the capture card, but upon connection, all I get is a black screen.
2. For audio, I'd like to use a wireless lavalier mic for the presenter and a Rode NTG-2 shotgun mic for the audience. The extra accessory for audio recording is a Zoom H4N.
Thanks in advance

- @Robert If you have Wirecast installed, you can create a "Virtual Camera" that will be recognizable by GoTo Meeting. The option for that is under the output menu and should allow you to send the audio and video from the BlackMagic card to GTM.
- I would connect the mics through a USB preamp and then into the commuter through the USB port. Tell GTW to use that USB device as your audio source.
If you already have the Beachtek MCC-2, you can get a cable like this one to connect the output of the MCC-2 to the USB input on your computer rather than connecting to your camera.
https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/676980-REG/DJ_Tech_MINI_2_USB_Mini_2_USB_1_8_to.html - Hi Robert,
Did you ever figure out this issue? I'm able to get my DSLR to show up on GTW by using Sparkocam. However, it seems the DSLR's internal mic doesn't work for livestreaming and I don't have the external mics yet to test the audio. One thing I'm looking at trying is the Beachtek Mcc-2 2-channel audio adapter. This thing allows you to plug two external mics into your dslr, as well as gives you basic audio adjustments for each mic. I'm hoping to get two lav systems and running them through the dslr. - Can you see the output of the camera in any application on the computer? If so, here is how I do it differently than the usual.
On a Mac, I have my camera open in Quicktime Player set to a New Recording. What I get is a window with my face showing in it. I open this BEFORE i start the GTW application.
I have GTW set to show my second computer monitor. I put the camera window in the second monitor. When PowerPoint is running, that is shown in the second monitor. When I ram unning the PowerPoint show, everyone sees the PowerPoint. When I hit ESC, the PowerPoint stops and everyone sees the camera. Then I can restart the PowerPoint from the current slide and keep going.
My PowerPoint and the camera are never seen at the same time, which is how I like it.
If you want both on at the same time, you can set the PowerPoint (Slide Show - Setup Slide Show) to show in a window rather than full screen, and then you can arrange your camera window and the PowerPoint show window so folks can see both. - No worries, mate. Thanks for the prompt responses so far. I'll wait for in the someone in the community to respond.
- Hmm.... any recommendations with hooking up a DSLR instead of using a webcam?
- Thanks Michael and Ash. Attached is a pic of how the setup looks like right now. Connection from cam to card is HDMI. It's detected by the application as the blackmagic card but output is a black screen.
@Michael: Both the presenter and audience will be in the same room. Only one computer will be used to stream the feed. Think of a live studio audience setting. Problem with different computers, different mics is feedback.
@Ash: For the camera, Is there a workaround if I have Wirecast installed?
Hi Robert,
Sounds like you have a legitimate setup there. Unfortunately GoToMeeting isn't very compatible with certain adapters, as it is mainly looking for a built-in webcam, or USB connected. The microphone part, I can't say that we've ever tested a similar device, but the requirements for a Mic input are a little more flexible than the Webcam.
