Is one of these steps not working for you? No, you don't seem to need NDI Syphon. If you are in a web browser, you might have to change the web browser camera setting instead maybe? Once I am in a meeting I seem to be able to change the camera (not before). Here is what Google Meet looks like - I pick CamTwist as the camera. So some of my previous comments might have been overcomplicated because I did not realize this before. I have just installed Character Animator for the first time on a Mac, and it looks like Character Animator 3.2 at least outputs the stream in Syphon format without having to use NDI! So you don't need NDISyphon on Mac if running CamTwist and Character Animator on the same machine. NDISyphon can read NDI and output to Syhpon format. I am only confirming it does work.ĬamTwist can either capture part of the screen or read from Syphon.

The offer of a video showing how to do it I think would be fantastic.

Not sure why.īut I did get CH feeding into clients on Windows and Mac following davidabor's instructions! (Well, there is this manual installation step that I am not sure I did correctly - which may be why camtwist effects are not all working.) The main negative of bouncing the NDI signal over wifi between two laptops, then join from both as a meeting member is the video quality was pretty poor.
One source is from Syphon (instead of the webcam). NDI Syphon allowed me to say "take the NDI stream and convert it to a Syphon stream".
I grabbed NDISyphon from the web and installed that as well (not in NDI Tools apparently).Feels a bit buggy (not all effects are working reliably), but pretty nice! I don't run CH on Mac, but I found there is NDI Tools also for Mac, but its only a subset.You streaming puppet shoud now being sent into Google Meeting! (I am sure the same works with Zoom.) Use that to change the camera to the Virtual Input source instead of the web cam. In Google Meeting, there is a settings button.Right click and pick the input source as my laptop. Finally noticed in the Window system tray there is a NDI entry now. To feed that into Google Meeting, I started up on Windows "NDI Virtual Input".You can use the NDI Studio Monitor to just checking it is streaming.

(You need to install NDI Tools before starting CH for this to appear I think.) In "Stream" mode, CH can be configured for Preferences / Live Output - turn on Mercury Output and select NDI Output.I installed NDI tools on my Windows laptop where I have CH running.I tried a few things, failed, upgraded everything to the latest versions (NDI Tools 4.5, latest CH etc).Well, got it going both ways! No YouTube video from me, but a few pointers if you have a go before Daniel creates an up to date video: But I have not tried it yet.Īnyone actually done it? I have done it with Streaming to YouTube, but that is streaming via OBS (not using a virtual webcam). OBS is more for streaming, but I *think* OBS-VirtualWebcam allows the output to be sent to a "virtual webcam" which you can then use Zoom use as the video source. I have not tried on Windows recently though, but my reading is it *should* be possible. I was going to use NDI to stream a video signal from my Windows laptop to my Mac to balance the CPU across machines.
#ADOBE CHARACTER ANIMATOR PERFORMER MODE MAC OS#
(This does not mean its not possible!!) I think Windows does support virtual cameras, just Mac OS does not (any more). So I could not work out a way to get any virtual camera going into Google Meet/Hangouts. But it looks like on the latest Mac OS they closed some "loop holes" in security, and some of the virtual camera packages stopped working. I am not a Zoom expert, but my limited playing with Google Hangouts/Meet is that software can pick things up from a camera or a captured screenshot (using "present" mode).
