VDMX Zoom Tutorial.png

Add custom visuals to Zoom Meetings, Skype, OBS, Whereby, Google Duo, VJing in Zoom

February 15, 2021

Ready to spice up your text Zoom meeting!? In this tutorial I’ll show you how to route your web camera through VDMX into Zoom. The same process should work in other MacOS video streaming applications that allow you to select your camera input. Please see the links below the video for more details.

FREE VDMX sample media can be found here: https://docs.vidvox.net/vdmx_sample_media.html

I used ID:Mora Loops: H.264

More information about Syphon Virtual Web Camera can be found here: https://troikatronix.com/plugin/syphon-virtual-webcam/

Additionally, you can use OBS studio or CamTwist Studio (<- Thanks Julie Mallis for the tip!)

CamTwist Studio // Then select CamTwist as the input camera in zoom.
