vMix live productions
vMix Call is the remote-guest layer built into the vMix ecosystem, so it only matters if you're already a vMix user. Guests join through a browser, which is the way it should be, and audio quality is better than most generic conferencing tools. Standalone, ignore it.
- Up to 8 HD guests in vMix Pro
- Guests join from any browser
- Mix-minus and tally support
- Requires a vMix license
- Windows only
- Guest count gated by vMix tier
vMix Call exists because broadcast producers wanted a way to bring remote contributors into a vMix production without taping a Zoom output to a capture card. It's not a standalone product — you have to be running vMix on a Windows machine — but as an add-on it's one of the cleaner remote-guest implementations around. Guests open a browser link, vMix Call handles the WebRTC layer, and the host sees each guest as a separate source with proper mix-minus so they don't hear themselves echoed back. Tally light support means each guest sees when their camera is live. Audio is noticeably cleaner than dropping a generic Zoom feed into your scene. The catch is the prerequisites. You need vMix, which means Windows, and the number of simultaneous callers scales with your vMix license tier — vMix HD only gets one, while vMix Pro unlocks all eight. If your show lives in vMix you already know whether you need this. If you live in OBS or any browser tool, look at Zencastr or VDO.Ninja instead, which solve the same problem without forcing you into the vMix stack.
