    Hi Dschwieder 

     

    It is recommended to use your Blackmagic device only for mixing audio and video. You can share your slides on a Teams Meeting or Live Event from your computer. Microsoft is continuously improving Teams with new features and performance improvements.

Hi adilyoosuf ,
I have the same setup with the ATEM Mini Pro. I face the problem that the output resolution (the output from the ATEM Mini Pro into the MacBook and than into Teams) is Fine on my MS Teams view but nearly very bad on the attendees view. The picture is always a bit blurry. When i share a PPT Presentation via the ATEM Mini Pro i to MS Teams the picture is blurry and changes the Resolution from Time to Time.
Hence the output experience for the viewer is very bad. I already checked bandwith of my Internet. The upload and Download stream is Fine.
Is MS Teams reducing the Resolution of the ATEM Mini Pro Input?
What is the recommended solution by Microsoft for this problem?

Dschwieder We are having the same exact issue. Our Atem output is clear 1080p on Windows camera app and Teams preview, but Teams attendees are getting 720p at best. We had a lot of complaints at last night's hybrid meeting about blurry slides, however I think some of the problems were on the attendee's side.

 

Does Teams process "web cam" inputs and document sharing differently? Shared slides are crystal clear, whereas Atem input is blurred. Our network is 1gbps up 800 down measured.

 

Are there any alternatives or fixes to this problem? A lot of our clients want a camera or two and the desktop view to Teams, and since our events are large it's not practical for us to use document sharing and webcams etc.
