Hello, we use NDI for most of our webcasts. Since NDI requires significant network resources and hardware for each speaker stream, we also use an option that allows us to connect to MS Teams meetings and receive the video feeds of each speaker on a webpage. We can then display these feeds on screens or use them as input for Vmix or OBS. This allows us to use this NDI-like functionality even in very limited company networks. This makes MS Teams the optimal solution for us for high-quality webcasts, especially in hybrid environments. So if you still struggle with NDI. There is a solution.
