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.
The ATEM Mini works well for me, so I don't understand them saying it is a resolution issue.
The only two issues I have are the cropping on the visual image, and the downward expander on the audio.
To get around these I can size the video in a PowerPoint slide to place the video within the cropping mask that GoTo uses. But that takes time.
Second - You can't play music, and any speaking must be "mastered," since the downward expander employed by GoTo reduces the volume of sounds below a certain level. GoTo should give us a switch to turn off the background noise reducer, which would make music possible.

For a work around the issue that gotowebinar/ gotomeeting can't recognie the atem mini as a webcam, will it be possible to to have the final output signal from the atem mini shown on the computer screen (is there a viewer in the software for the device), and then show this by sharing the application in gotowebinar/ meeting? This way you will not need to show it as a webcam.
On the Macintosh if I open QuickTime Player and select New Movie Recording, it will show the webcam in a window. You can broadcast this window through GoToWebinar.
I am sure there is a similar program on Windows that allows you to record your webcam.
