Hey John - Funny to randomly see H2R Graphics in this video! I was just doing some research on Microsoft Teams and the ATEM Mini (which seems to work nicely!). Keep up the great work! Thanks for showing off the software!
Thanks so much for watching, John! I love your channel and I’ve learned a ton from your on location videos and show & tells. I’m planning a more specific run-down of how I‘ve configured H2R Graphics with the ATEM mini and Companion to use as a webcam in Teams. Thank you for creating such an amazing tool!
Cool video! The a6400 looks great. Thanks and definitely keep the videos coming. I’m learning how to use the ATEM mini with vMix in a 2 laptop setup for streaming and recording educational events.
Thanks John! Yea I’m very impressed with the quality of the a6400 even with just auto ISO and white balance. That sounds interesting about vMix with the Atem. Looking forward to a video on that!
Thanks Spencer, it's actually a ~$15 camera mount from Amazon. My wife uses it to do top-down time lapses of products she paints for our woodworking business.
Very nice. I like that it simplifies the mixing. Lower thirds and ticker are impressive. I’ve been doing this with OBS and outpouring to a virtual cam. But this device makes it much easier.
Modern Workplace Scenarios thanks! Yea I’ve been doing it through OBS and Streamdeck for a while now but worry it’s overly complex for the normal user. I’m hoping this might be more accessible, although a little less flexible than OBS.
Thanks John & great Video. I have a question regarding the audio from a laptop playing through the ATEM and into teams. How is the quality of the audio as I have found that teams will detect some audio as noise and try to gate it out. ( voice over a low background track, teams will cut the track in / out depending on the voice) I think this to do with the teams audio codec as it was made for mics only and not full bandwidth audio tracks. Sorry for the long comment but i was wondering if you have ever experienced this?
Thank you Joseph! I have several videos planned for the ATEM but I’ll have to get it back from a friend that I let borrow it for quarantine and I got the Pearl Mini from Epiphan at my house.
HI John, great video! One question though: does this also work with Teams on Win10? Reason for asking is that BlackMagic UltraStudio Mini Recorder output cannot be used for Teams on Win10 (black screen) whereas on Mac, it works. So before investing into this device, I wanted to make sure it is supported. Would be great to hear if it does.
That is really cool. and the graphics software is awesome. How easy is it to use? ive been looking for some graphic software but havent made any decisions.
Hi John, Love your content on youtube since it goes in real depth on some specific topics to stream. We have an upcoming stream in one month with 3 camera positions and 2 speakers at the same time (1 moderator and 4 professors who alternately give a presentation about sports with a small Q&A after). There are a maximum of 2 people speaking at the same time. Platform will be Microsoft teams live events. We have an Atem mini, 3 camera’s and some screens with OBS. We came across some problems that we can’t encode for a ‘public live event’ on teams which leaves us only with the webcam feature of virtual obs cam or black magic resolve cam and mic. I searched a lot of tutorials how to decently bypass this and have the feeling we have to less gear to properly stream this event, also taking into account the limitations of the teams live event (public doesn’t allow external encoder like obs). How would you go about this and do you have any tips? Would be much appreciated, thanks in advance!
Thank you for watching! My camera arm is this one: Webcam Stand - 14 Inch Suspension Scissor Durable Bracket with Aluminum Desk Clamp Mount - Built-in 1/4" Screw for Logitech Webcam C930e,C930,C920, C922x,C922, Brio 4K, C925e,C615 by Pipishell www.amazon.com/dp/B081V35ZK5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_RaoxFbP1MGBF0 I wouldn’t recommend it for a mirrorless camera as it’s more designed for webcams and phones. The bigger camera was quite heavy for it and I had to tighten the joints down way too much.
Hi John. Can you give a short overview of all the harware (Camera, Stream Deck) which was used in your video ? Trying to find best setup for our MS Teams Live Event experience. Thank you
For Teams/Zoom what happens when you go into “presenter mode”? All of the mixing is in the space where your video normally and when you present or share your screen what happens? Excellent video BTW.
Hi John, awesome video! I recently bought a ATEM Mini Pro and works really well with Teams, however I have found a bug that may be a bit of a showstopper. When I share my screen it works well, but when another attendee shares their screen my whole teams view begins to cycle, flitting between the attendees faces and something else. It goes so fast I have to ask them to stop sharing and switch from the ATEM to my computer cam view. Hoping there is an easy fix, I really like this set up. Any thoughts?
I think this is a really cool setup, I got the ATEM mini to record panel discussions, but I think it would be cool to try and do something in Teams like you are doing.
John Moore Yes I was thinking about this myself doing some sales symposiums how to reach your prospects while they work from home ways to reach out on social media etc.
I hooked it up today using my work laptop. The camera and microphone worked good, but the iPad did not. I have it connected using an HDMI adapter, and for some reason the slides present backwards. Have you seen this before? Any tips?
Hi Super video - thanks. We use the mini pro for Teams meeting. But the Teams Live event - we can not Get the innpust as «camera» like in teams meeting. Could not see if you figurer that out?
One of the best vids on the atem - you obviously understand the technology. A far as H2R titles etc. go, are you running a hdmi out from the producer comp back into the atem?
Thank you for the kind words, you made my day Jac! Yes, for the titles I’m just running another HDMI cable from my producer laptop back into the ATEM hdmi input 4. I put the H2R green screen on that virtual monitor and made it full screen. It works really well as long as I don’t use the trackpad gestures to switch apps as that causes the green screen to move. :)
John - Great video and I like the Tuesday Teams Tips, I tried setting up ATEM mini with Teams meeting and noticed that content is reversed/Horizontal flipped once I have the camera source Blackmagic selected - Any thoughts
Hi Sembian, thanks for watching! The flipping of your camera is actually to be expected on your end but it's the right way for the attendees who are watching you. Teams does that so if you're looking at yourself and point to something behind you, it'll be on the correct side for you instead of a mirror of you. Other apps like FaceTime also do this to make it easier for you to point to things. It definitely threw me off the first time too! To verify, you can do a Meet Now meeting by yourself and record it and then when you watch that you'll be able to see what the participants would have seen on their end. Have a great day!
Hey John, thanks for the video! I have just bought one of these and hope to use it as part of my online teaching using MS teams and other platforms. Do I need any other video recorder hardware or software to accompany this? I will making live content as well as recorded
Glad to hear it helped! It depends on what model ATEM Mini you purchased. If you bought the Pro or Iso, those can record locally to an SSD attached via USB-C. If you bought the base model then you will record using software on your computer. I use OBS or Camtasia to record from my device. OBS will even live stream and record at the same time if you want. Hope that helps!
Excellent job! Very useful content. Great job. I have a question. Can you make MsTeams meetings (not events) thru Ethernet (not USB) while same time record output on disk on Atem Mini Pro?
Hi Artur, thanks for watching! Unfortunately you can’t get a video feed over the Ethernet connection on an ATEM Mini. That is only used for control of the device. The new ATEM Mini Extreme has two USB ports so you can use one as a webcam and the other to record but that upgraded device is the only option of know of that would give you that ability. That model would also only be able to record your own webcam and not anything else from the meeting, so keep that in mind too. If you want to record your feed or even if you want to record others from the meeting then I’d probably recommend OBS and NDI plug-in. You can then lay out the sources however you like in OBS and record it locally. Everyone in the meeting will be notified if you turn on NDI in the meeting as well so that should mitigate any privacy concerns too. Hope that helps!
Could I use this set-up with Zoom or Skype? I am trying to figure out a way to integrate this system on my film sets when the clients are connecting via Skype/Zoom. I'd love to be able to show them whats coming out of the main camera, a bts camera, and maybe the DIT's laptop. Thoughts?
I have a ATEM Mini Pro and can see that you would be able to that. You have to connect to a computer using the usb c port on the Atem mini that way you can use Skype, Zoom etc. as the computer see the Atem as a webcam coming in the USB c port.
Great content! Does this work with usual Microsoft Teams video meetings, or is specifically designed for a "MS Teams live event"? Does it work on a Apple Mac?
Thanks! Yes the ATEM mini works as just a normal webcam so it certainly is useful in Teams Meetings. It is compatible with Mac or PC, in fact my primary device is a Mac and it works perfectly.
Hi John, thanks for the video. I'm trying to run a live event on Microsft Viva Engage, which uses Teams. It says I need to input RTMP info into the encoder, and then when I open teams to run the live event, it asks for the RTMP feed. When opening teams I've tried using my laptop camera to test, but it's not allowing me to use it, so it must be a RTMP feed, that you can achieve using a software encoder. I think the Atem mini would be idea, but as it's exporting the feed as a webcam, then I don't think it will work in this scenario. This might be how the newly updated teams operate now. As your vid is 4yrs old, are you still using the atem mini, have you run into this problem. Is there a work around or do you think I have to use a software encoder to get the RTMP feed? Thanks for your time
Thanks for you question! If you have a standard ATEM mini, you’d want to use the Quick Start option when scheduling your Viva Engage live event. If you select external encoder you’ll need an RTMP feed. If you have an ATEM mini pro, that has livestream capabilities so it can output RTMP if you connect it to Ethernet. I don’t have my ATEM mini anymore unfortunately but I hope those ideas help!
@@CollabMoore thanks for getting back to me. Yes that’s helped a lot. I’m renting a Atem next week to test it all out and see it’ll work for what I need. Thanks again
This is a great video, thanks! One question though: My setup works fine with Zoom, however when I try to join a Teams meeting the "Blackmagic Design" webcam shows a black screen and says my webcam isn't working. Any ideas why this might happen? I've poked around the setings for Teams and the ATEM Mini Switcher software and can't find anything to fix the issue.
Hi Brad, I’m afraid I haven’t run into that issue myself. I think the only thing you could try would be maybe reinstalling the Teams app. I don’t think the ATEM software would have anything to do with the webcam out functionality.
Hello John, when I do that, the output of my ATEM Mini Pro seems flipped horizontally at the input of Teams... I see by you too on your screen... how do you fix this flip ? Thank you. Yvan
Teams flips the preview only for you. FaceTime does the same thing too so if you point to something behind you it’ll be the correct side as if you’re looking in a mirror. The image is the proper orientation for your audience.
Hi, how do you listen to people talking to you during a Microsoft teams meeting. do you connect a separate headphone to the laptop running teams? and talk to them using the mic attached to the Atem mini?
Yep, exactly. I use my headphones connected via Bluetooth to my laptop and the ATEM is my camera and my mic for Teams. I really wish the ATEM Mini had a headphone jack so you could monitor the microphone levels and audio processing. They added it to the Extreme model but not the lower end ones. 😕
Hi Christian, thanks for the question! I was using H2R Graphics for the name and other elements on screen. There’s a much newer version now with a lot more functionality and I highly recommend checking it out!
@@CollabMoore Hey thanks for that. Can you also tell me how you managed to bring them onto Stream Deck to be able to fade in and out per button push during you Live Event ?
Hi John i’m using a Atem Mini on TLE as a webcam, 2 PTZ + 1 PC, in a last event happens one error in a certain moment with ppt + pip the image disappear but the sound stays. Whats your opinion, atem mini or TLE problem? Thanks
Hmm if the PTZ’s and PC are all going into the ATEM and you’re using that for the pip, then it sounds like an ATEM issue if the video dropped out locally. If you saw the self-view in Teams the whole time but it dropped for the audience, then that sounds like a TLE issue. That sounds like a cool setup, you should make a video of how it’s all connected. I’d love to check it out and share it with others!
Thank you for the excellent walkthrough. I am curious about an issue in MS Teams. I have no Calendar tab, so I am not able to test with "Meet now". Any idea why that is?
Interesting, I’m not sure what could cause you to not have a calendar option in Teams. I don’t think you need a calling plan to see a calendar. Could it be that your company hasn’t moved your mailbox to the cloud yet? The calendar comes from exchange online so that’d be my only guess.
John Moore thank you. One other general question. I am experiencing low quality while using virtual cam apps to feed to Teams. Especially while showing Presenter‘s Laptop or Desktop Share. Do you have a trick how to improve image quality?
Tim Madel calendar tab: you need a licence which supports this feature and/or configured outlook server. Image quality: image quality is better in screen sharing mode but framerate drops.
Thanks for watching Gary! Do you mean the graphics like my lower third, news ticker, comments, logos, and so on? I’m actually planning to go over all that next Friday, Dec 18th on a livestream here on RUclips!
Hey John, I am facing the problem, that the screen shared via Atem mini as a webcam, at teams will be shown blurry on the participants side. Any solution for that? Seems to be a common problem. 2nd question: are you using macros for the titles and ticker?
Hi Sven, thanks for watching! If the video feed is getting blurry on Teams, that’s likely caused by network issues. There’s a new ‘call health’ button under the … menu that can tell you what your video resolution is going out. If you have stable internet then you might get better results by connecting to Ethernet if possible rather than relying on WiFi. I’ve seen my own quality go down to about 360p when I have internet problems but it usually stays at 1080p or 720p for me. Another challenge is you can’t control the network on the other end so you might be going out at great quality but if their internet is bad then it still might get very compressed.
For the titles and tickets, I was using H2R Graphics. There’s a version 2 now that’s really great. For the ATEM, it does require a different device though. If you have more static titles, you can make them as graphics and then use the media pool on the atem too.
@@CollabMoore awesome! Also your video is the best example of it being used. If you could even make a video of it in zoom I can show my clients and we can try to get one off ebay lol
Can you include a pet presentation with different presenters all remote to the producer. Keep the pet on screen with each presenter taking turn to talk and coming on screen
What Resolution is teams using for the „webcam“ and - does it show full 1080p? how to stop it from following face? Would it be better to instead have the Artemis stream into a stream url from the live event?
Teams video I believe maxes out at 720p. I always put in 1080p and it’ll just scale it down no problem. Unfortunately you can’t stop it from following your face. Teams crops down the video if the persons window isn’t a nice 16:9 ratio. If the window is skinny or you have an odd number of people on screen, it may arrange your video to be a portrait cropped image instead of landscape and there isn’t a way to disable that from your end. The receiver of your video can lock it by right-clicking on you and clicking “fit to frame”.
@@CollabMoore this is an issue I’m facing too. I’ve been tasked with setting up a studio to run events. I’m worried that when having a 4 box supersource, Teams will crop out the video sources on the edges if there are many people on the call- is that your experience too? Any workaround other than asking audience to fit to frame?
@@AdielSlarmie Hi Adiel, unfortunately you can't force a 16:9 aspect ratio when using a virtual camera into a Teams meeting. If you're hosting an event, I would recommend using a Teams Live Event and external encoding. If you do that then it will be a 16:9 video feed coming in over RTMP that won't be as compressed as a Teams webcam would be anyway, so it'll be better quality. The cropping is only an issue if you're just one webcam of many participants in a meeting. A live event allows you to completely control what viewers see. Hope that helps!
@@CollabMoore thanks John. That’s what I suspected. Unfortunately this is for a Teams meeting installation and I can’t change it. Our main Studio uses Zoom Webinar as a platform and works fine. Guess I’ll have to come up with an alternative solution. Thank you for the prompt and useful response
@@CollabMoore hi again. I have tested using 6 devices and Teams maintained my aspect ratio throughout. Must’ve been a software update at some point to fix since I last tested. My test machine was Tricaster/NDI encoding. Going to assume Atem/HDMI will behave similarly
Hi John. I have encountered a problem when running a second computer into the atem - the screen is flipped vertically. I can not find a setting in teams that allows me to mirror the screen? Pse help!!
Hmm it shouldn’t be flipped vertically but it will flip it horizontally. Most conferencing apps like Teams and FaceTime actually mirror the screen on your preview so that when you see yourself you can point behind you on the correct side. It’s the correct way for the viewer though, it’s just flipped for your preview thumbnail.
@@CollabMoore Sorry should have said flopped. In other words it looks as if you are looking at the screen in a mirror - reading form right to left and the letters face west as opposed to east :-) No problem with zoom or obs.
Yea that’s a good point if you’re relying on that thumbnail to move around on the screen. For my uses, I mirrored a laptop so was looking at the physical laptop screen when needing to demo something. Definitely not usable if it’s seen as an extended screen.
Yea XLR would be great. If it could just have a headphone port then it would be a perfect device for my needs. There's a RUclips named Joe Buck that has great videos about integrating XLR microphones with the ATEM Mini. He uses an awesome looking device called the Rodecaster Pro...I'm jealous. :)

Hello John, when I do that, the output of my ATEM Mini Pro seems flipped horizontally at the input of Teams... I see by you too on your screen... how do you fix this flip ? Thank you. Yvan
Teams flips the preview only for you. FaceTime does the same thing too so if you point to something behind you it’ll be the correct side as if you’re looking in a mirror. The image is the proper orientation for your audience.
Hi, how do you listen to people talking to you during a Microsoft teams meeting. do you connect a separate headphone to the laptop running teams? and talk to them using the mic attached to the Atem mini?
Yep, exactly. I use my headphones connected via Bluetooth to my laptop and the ATEM is my camera and my mic for Teams.
I really wish the ATEM Mini had a headphone jack so you could monitor the microphone levels and audio processing. They added it to the Extreme model but not the lower end ones. 😕
@@CollabMoore thanks so much for the reply. really appreciate it
Hey John. Can you tell me how you created this name fade in and out within the stream deck ?
Hi Christian, thanks for the question! I was using H2R Graphics for the name and other elements on screen. There’s a much newer version now with a lot more functionality and I highly recommend checking it out!
@@CollabMoore Hey thanks for that. Can you also tell me how you managed to bring them onto Stream Deck to be able to fade in and out per button push during you Live Event ?
Hi John i’m using a Atem Mini on TLE as a webcam, 2 PTZ + 1 PC, in a last event happens one error in a certain moment with ppt + pip the image disappear but the sound stays. Whats your opinion, atem mini or TLE problem?
Thanks
Hmm if the PTZ’s and PC are all going into the ATEM and you’re using that for the pip, then it sounds like an ATEM issue if the video dropped out locally. If you saw the self-view in Teams the whole time but it dropped for the audience, then that sounds like a TLE issue.
That sounds like a cool setup, you should make a video of how it’s all connected. I’d love to check it out and share it with others!
@@CollabMoore thanks i'm gonna try to make a video of the setup.
Thank you for the excellent walkthrough. I am curious about an issue in MS Teams. I have no Calendar tab, so I am not able to test with "Meet now". Any idea why that is?
Interesting, I’m not sure what could cause you to not have a calendar option in Teams. I don’t think you need a calling plan to see a calendar. Could it be that your company hasn’t moved your mailbox to the cloud yet? The calendar comes from exchange online so that’d be my only guess.
John Moore thank you. One other general question. I am experiencing low quality while using virtual cam apps to feed to Teams. Especially while showing Presenter‘s Laptop or Desktop Share. Do you have a trick how to improve image quality?
@@3m2filmDeKoeln I have the same issue and have utterly failed in finding a solution.....
Tim Madel calendar tab: you need a licence which supports this feature and/or configured outlook server.
Image quality: image quality is better in screen sharing mode but framerate drops.
Sorry. I meant the quality issue. It the calendar tab issue.
John, Can you create a video of how you create the background effects within a team event?
Thanks for watching Gary! Do you mean the graphics like my lower third, news ticker, comments, logos, and so on? I’m actually planning to go over all that next Friday, Dec 18th on a livestream here on RUclips!
@Tampa Bay Trane Sure!
We are hosting a Teams Live with speakers joining virtual. How do I set that up?
I actually have a conference session that’s an overview of Teams Live Events. I hope this video helps! ruclips.net/video/dnNuH1hoOT4/видео.html
Hey John,
I am facing the problem, that the screen shared via Atem mini as a webcam, at teams will be shown blurry on the participants side. Any solution for that? Seems to be a common problem.
2nd question: are you using macros for the titles and ticker?
Hi Sven, thanks for watching! If the video feed is getting blurry on Teams, that’s likely caused by network issues. There’s a new ‘call health’ button under the … menu that can tell you what your video resolution is going out. If you have stable internet then you might get better results by connecting to Ethernet if possible rather than relying on WiFi. I’ve seen my own quality go down to about 360p when I have internet problems but it usually stays at 1080p or 720p for me. Another challenge is you can’t control the network on the other end so you might be going out at great quality but if their internet is bad then it still might get very compressed.
For the titles and tickets, I was using H2R Graphics. There’s a version 2 now that’s really great. For the ATEM, it does require a different device though. If you have more static titles, you can make them as graphics and then use the media pool on the atem too.
does it work with zoom as a audio and video input??
Yep it sure does! The ATEM is just seen as a usb webcam by your operating system. It’s an awesome device!
@@CollabMoore awesome! Also your video is the best example of it being used. If you could even make a video of it in zoom I can show my clients and we can try to get one off ebay lol
Thanks Jordan!
Can you include a pet presentation with different presenters all remote to the producer. Keep the pet on screen with each presenter taking turn to talk and coming on screen
What Resolution is teams using for the „webcam“ and - does it show full 1080p? how to stop it from following face? Would it be better to instead have the Artemis stream into a stream url from the live event?
Teams video I believe maxes out at 720p. I always put in 1080p and it’ll just scale it down no problem. Unfortunately you can’t stop it from following your face. Teams crops down the video if the persons window isn’t a nice 16:9 ratio. If the window is skinny or you have an odd number of people on screen, it may arrange your video to be a portrait cropped image instead of landscape and there isn’t a way to disable that from your end. The receiver of your video can lock it by right-clicking on you and clicking “fit to frame”.
@@CollabMoore this is an issue I’m facing too. I’ve been tasked with setting up a studio to run events. I’m worried that when having a 4 box supersource, Teams will crop out the video sources on the edges if there are many people on the call- is that your experience too? Any workaround other than asking audience to fit to frame?
@@AdielSlarmie Hi Adiel, unfortunately you can't force a 16:9 aspect ratio when using a virtual camera into a Teams meeting. If you're hosting an event, I would recommend using a Teams Live Event and external encoding. If you do that then it will be a 16:9 video feed coming in over RTMP that won't be as compressed as a Teams webcam would be anyway, so it'll be better quality. The cropping is only an issue if you're just one webcam of many participants in a meeting. A live event allows you to completely control what viewers see. Hope that helps!
@@CollabMoore thanks John. That’s what I suspected. Unfortunately this is for a Teams meeting installation and I can’t change it. Our main Studio uses Zoom Webinar as a platform and works fine.
Guess I’ll have to come up with an alternative solution. Thank you for the prompt and useful response
@@CollabMoore hi again. I have tested using 6 devices and Teams maintained my aspect ratio throughout. Must’ve been a software update at some point to fix since I last tested. My test machine was Tricaster/NDI encoding. Going to assume Atem/HDMI will behave similarly
Hi John. I have encountered a problem when running a second computer into the atem - the screen is flipped vertically. I can not find a setting in teams that allows me to mirror the screen? Pse help!!
Hmm it shouldn’t be flipped vertically but it will flip it horizontally. Most conferencing apps like Teams and FaceTime actually mirror the screen on your preview so that when you see yourself you can point behind you on the correct side. It’s the correct way for the viewer though, it’s just flipped for your preview thumbnail.
@@CollabMoore Sorry should have said flopped. In other words it looks as if you are looking at the screen in a mirror - reading form right to left and the letters face west as opposed to east :-) No problem with zoom or obs.
Jac van der Spuy yea that’s the backward preview. It does look normal to the viewer though.
@@CollabMoore Thanks but it makes it unusable if you want to explain something to the viewers. Happy easter
Yea that’s a good point if you’re relying on that thumbnail to move around on the screen. For my uses, I mirrored a laptop so was looking at the physical laptop screen when needing to demo something. Definitely not usable if it’s seen as an extended screen.
Hopefully they’ll add XLR audio input to a newer model.
Yea XLR would be great. If it could just have a headphone port then it would be a perfect device for my needs. There's a RUclips named Joe Buck that has great videos about integrating XLR microphones with the ATEM Mini. He uses an awesome looking device called the Rodecaster Pro...I'm jealous. :)
@@CollabMoore Now I need a Rodecaster Pro! Another win in AV for Australia.
