Can you clarify this for me if you are the host ..
Is the host giving permission access to zoom account using wirecast to sign into zoom account?
Ok let's continue.. now that we are signed into wirecast... Right... How will the participation join .. is it by sending them the invitation link that wirecast will generate OR does the participant join the regular normal way with the zoom meeting ID and password that they are already know .. and since the host is using wirecast and not the zoom application.. then all zoom participant will automatically enter into the wirecast studio canvas and now the host will be able to put them into their individual box A.B.C. SS .
Please clarify and correct if I missed a step in my statement question and answer. Thank you so much .

Thank you for your detailed questions! I'm happy to clarify the process for you. Let me address each of your points:
1. Host permissions: You're correct that Wirecast does join the Zoom call, and as the host, you need to allow Wirecast to enter the meeting. However, Wirecast doesn't sign into your Zoom account directly. Instead, you set up the Zoom meeting separately, and then use Wirecast to join as a participant, which you'll need to approve as the host.
2. Joining the meeting: Participants join the Zoom meeting in the regular way, using the standard Zoom meeting ID and password. Wirecast doesn't generate any invitation links or change how people join the call.
3. Host setup: As the host, you're actually using both the Zoom application and Wirecast simultaneously. You start the Zoom meeting as usual, then use Wirecast to join the call and capture the Zoom window for streaming.
4. Wirecast integration: Participants don't automatically enter the Wirecast studio canvas. They're just joining a normal Zoom call. On your end, you're using Wirecast to capture the Zoom window, which allows you to arrange the video feeds in your stream layout.
5. Arranging participants: You're correct that once you've captured the Zoom call in Wirecast, you can arrange participants into different placeholders (like A, B, C, SS) within your Wirecast layout.
The key thing to remember is that for participants, this is just a normal Zoom meeting. The only difference they might notice is a notification that the meeting is being live-streamed. All the Wirecast magic happens on your end as the host, without changing the Zoom experience for your participants.
I hope this clarifies the process for you! Let me know if you have any other questions.
