vMix Call – New Video Conferencing in vMix
vMix has just announced a new feature called “vMix Call” which allows users to add a input for video conferencing. As you will see in this video vMix now supports the ability to add an input specifically for video calling with guests on your live show. This is perhaps one of the most exciting features in vMix.
5 Minute vMix Call Demo:
vMix Video Call Interface
We review how to use the vMix Video Calling feature and set up a simple two person talk show in less than 5 minutes! Finally, this is a great way to simplify your video production and avoid using virtual audio cables and other secondary monitors. Amazing programming work done by Martin Sinclair! Congratulations to the entire vMix team. This will now save their users money who are currently paying for video conferencing services only to bring in remote participants.
How vMix Call works:
As you can see the regular vMix add input interface now includes a “Video Call” button. Once inside this input you can either host a call or connect to a call. vMix generates a password which is used to connect your vMix interface to a calling via a WebRTC web browser. In our testing the Google Chrome browser performs the best for this function and after that the Mozilla Firefox web browser. Finally, you will also have the option to select a “Return Feed” for both video and audio. By default, vMix allows you to select a video source, video bandwidth and an audio source.

Brain Storming:
After brain storming with our engineers we realized that vMix Call has opened up some new doors for extending the functionality of the NewTek NDI. Now users can connect NewTek NDI sources (vMix already supports the NewTek NDI) to other vMix sources around the world, even if they aren’t on the same network. Now for true 1080p, low latency, quality of the NewTek NDI which is only available on the LAN (Local Area Network) the same NDI rules still apply. But, now that vMix supports the connection of multiple vMix systems together over the public internet a whole new slew of possibilities have been opened up!
vMix Fun Time Show February:
Watch the vMix Fun Time Show of February 2017 to see the system demonstrated by the creator himself Martin Sinclair! This live show features a vMix Call demonstration from Australia to Europe using the WebRTC connection via vMix Call and Google Chrome. Other notable features with vMix 19 include safe zones. Keep in mind vMix 19 is still in BETA as of February 2017. The vMix 19 release is scheduled for the NAB Show in April 2017.
