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.

I've been using GoToWebinar for 11 years. I have tried lots of other products. My wife teaches classes daily through Zoom. I am in a Zoom meeting just about every morning (I'm in one now waiting for it to start). Where I work, the corporate solution is Skype, so it was not easy to convince them that we needed GoTo, and I have to convince them every year when it is time to renew.
Features we could not live without are the registration system and Attendee reports. Also the ease of recording and having the recording available after the webinar. Most of the time GoTo is used to support a federaly funded educational program where we must document everything to keep the funds flowing.
No webinar system is perfect. They all have their pluses and minuses. Through the years we have found workarounds for many lacking features in GoTo, and many of those features have been added to the program over time.

Agree with you, no perfect solution and GTW is not bad. Just don't know how to solve our oversubscribed event! I guess running 2 in parallel is the only option with GTW.

Does anyone know if it will be possible to use the Atem mini pro with gtw/ gtm instead of Atem mini
