Question / Help Skype is not a viable option for use as a NDI source for bringing in my podcast guests. Would Viber work as an alternative?

Or, perhaps someone can suggest an alternative to Skype that will be compatible with OBS? Thank you in advance for your assistance!!

I wasn't aware Viber had an NDI output option...

Did you find any other video chat that supports good NDI quality?

Zoom apparently now supports it. If you run the NewTek Virtual Input application and choose an NDI source, Zoom can use it.

Thank you, Narcogen. I need to get zoom video from remote speaker and his screen share into OBS. Does it work this way?
As for now the only way to get reliable zoom capture with audio and no frame drops is HDMI output to ATEM mini and capturing full screen Zoom views back to OBS. Other option is expanding mac with a few monitors and using full screen display capture + virtual audio group..

 

[Narcogen]

Video from a remote participant would have to be a window or desktop capture in OBS.

What Zoom can do with NDI is accept NDI input in lieu of a camera.

Try using on premise R-HUB HD video conferencing servers. It is a very good and viable alternative for use as a NDI source for bringing in your podcast guests.
