I did just ‘request’ this from the sales contact form. I got back a generic ‘Thank you for your interest in Zoom! Please answer these generic questions to see if we’d be a good fit for you.’
I started off my contact with ‘I’m already a zoom customer but this forum staff told me to contact sales for this request.’
A+ Service!
I followed up and will report back what they say… It seems like this should be easy for someone to answer.
NDI in Zoom would be a game changer for the way we do things too. Currently having to use Skype but we much prefer Zoom. Also, MS Teams just announced support for NDI is imminent so hopefully that has pushed this feature up the priority list.
I emailed a sales representative, he told me they’re working on NDI on a beta version. BUT(big but here) he told me they’ll require a CORPORATIVE(199 us dolars, minimum 10 licenses) plan to use ndi, sadly I’ll probably cancel my pro subscription if that’s the case.
If it’s the case, i will cancel my subscribtion too, and will def. Go with skype… 200$ /month for only one feature. Its abusive. I would spend 50$/month top
Same. Microsoft Teams has NDI in Beta. That’s going to be included in the standard $12.50/month plan that includes Office and Email. Why bother paying for Zoom at that point?
If you use OBS.Ninja (https://obs.ninja/), you can send your Zoom guests invite links and pull them into Vmix, OBS, or Manycam at super high video quality. It’s free. It’s not quite an NDI plugin, but I do have one in the works.
Yeah, OBSNinja is great, open source, no server required other than to serve the front-end. Unfortunately there’s a couple of technical reasons we can’t use it. That’s why we’re using Skype now, and were hoping Zoom would give us NDI (without the exorbitant cost)
Same. Can’t understand why they’d not want to enable this free and compete with Skype. We’re about to ditch Zoom to enable multiple feeds to come into ManyCam via Skype - and then push the broadcast out to YouTube Live / Facebook Live for a big conference. So, won’t need to go near Zoom. The issue is getting people to use Skype again after it’s been in the shadows for so long compared with Zoom / Teams.
As much as I’d love to see NDI output as a feature, I don’t think getting angry will help this along! There’s a million reason it’s taking a while. For example:
It’s not trivial work
Other features are considered more important (for example the recent 90 day programme)
They have some kind of blocker (and may not be able to talk about it)
