Blackmagic Atem Mini Pro - with MS Teams
- Dec 10, 2020
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.
Agree. Your workaround is better than injecting Blackmagic content to the Teams webcam.
