Teams Live Events: Adding shared screen content to queue not possible?
Same issue here. Looks like it is not a feature (yet). A working work-around is to use a 2nd device as Camera input (via HDMI to USB3 converter) and so have more than one Video Source combined into one.
Here you can use any Calling solution from Skype - to Teams or 3rd parties.
Overall it would be a real great feature to have multi Speakers combined in Events.
thx

Hi Thomas_Laggner ,
thanks. Do you mean you're outputting the content from your desktop via HDMI and then connect the HDMI to an USB camera device and use that as source? So that the content from the desktop is also available from a camera source in Teams? I guess this can be done with some tech savvy users but for most of them this would not be an option to be hones.
By the way I am also missing the option to mute the audio from Producers and Moderators for all attendees so that presenters can talk to each other without having the audience listen!
Thanks
Michael- You can use OBS and download Virtual Cam and have a scene in OBS for camera. And one for Desktop. And you switch scenes and what OBS shows goes to your teams camera.
But as you say does take some steps. I have a couple webinars where I’ve done this to an extent if you want to see them I can link but it’s def. not something the masses will easily figure out. But if it’s a small set of users that need to do it might not be that bad.Thanks. I found the software "ManyCam" that allows to capture anything and output it in a virtual webcam. Using the virtual webcam as source for the producer we can achieve that the producer can replace the live stream with the source from the webcam when necessary.
Otherwise we have the problem that even though a presenter stops sharing his desktop or app the contents of this webcam are still being transmitted into the livestream. The producer has no option to replace the video stream from the presenter other than with another video stream - which usually is his own webcam or the video source from another presenter. But it is better if the producer can replace the live stream with a placeholder that he wants to (if the producer only shares her own screen, the video source of the presenter from before is still being transmitted and not replaced).
Microsoft should add such an ability natively to Live Events.
Thanks
Michael
