Blackmagic Atem Mini Pro - with MS Teams
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.

adilyoosuf While waiting for MS Team to offer a real solution to this problem, I use the following workaround when I need to share Atem Mini's output in fullscreen and high resolution:
- You use the Atem Mini as an input source to a streaming software like OBS Studio.
- You use OBS Studio's "full screen projector" feature to output this content to one of your screens.
- In MS Teams, you share this screen.
With this method, you get the high resolution that Teams does allow provide for screen sharing, but also the low frame rate it uses for screen sharing. This is definitely not ideal, but in my view much better than the high framerate at the cost of poor to very poor resolution and random cropping and scaling that Teams applies to webcam signals.

This is what we are doing as well since we share a lot of PPT - I am looking at getting the Extreme version and moving all the graphics to the atem - and keep the GPU/CPU tax as low as possible - In OBS its just a single video capture and then all the magic happens in the ATEM (Using external cameras) MatHaldimann Thank you for the idea, we must try that next time we have to share other pc to Teams.
Agree. Your workaround is better than injecting Blackmagic content to the Teams webcam.
