Livestreaming from a hardware switcher to a Zoom account

So, I own a live streaming company and we are producing a multi-camera event that our client wants to stream to their Zoom account. How would I integrate that stream to their account.

    Hi @gr8carnac 

     

    You cannot stream into Zoom. You would need to connect your switcher to a Zoom client and feed it in as a camera source, or digitize your HDMI or SDI output with a capture device.

     

    Some switchers (like the BMD Mini range) can output a USB-UVC webcam source, which you can input into a local Zoom client. 

     

    Or - if you're switcher can already encode a stream -you could run a Zoom client in the cloud (like in AWS) and send in an SRT feed from your switcher, then pipe it into the Zoom client (and into your Zoom event) via a Virtual Camera app). 

     

    But if you're looking for real-time interaction between your Production and your Zoom Participants, you will need to consider latency and return feeds

    Hope this helps.
