Hi community,

I'm not sure if this is a possibility, but here goes.

We use Zoom to run education sessions for students and I think the ability to live stream with character animator is great. I'd like to see if it's possible to run meetings/educational sessions as the puppet character. Has anyone else has any experience (or whether it's possible) to deliver a live meeting using Zoom.us as the puppet character from character animator? Would it work similarly like live streaming? (I haven't done live streaming before).

At the moment, we use Zoom as a host and deliver the session with the webcam. And I'm wanting to know if there's anyway that instead of using the webcam to show myself, that Zoom.us would take a stream of the puppet character instead? Using Zoom because of the security measures.

Thanks!

I've created tutorials for how to do this on Mac and Windows.

Yup, this is definitely possible and actually pretty easy. I've been doing this lately for my daily team meetings just to add a little fun.

For Windows you can install the NDI software, set your virtual input (no need to have the NDI Studio Monitor open) and then choose the virtual input as your webcam in Zoom. Make sure you either set your puppet's xScale to -100 or even better, click the option to mirror your webcam in Zoom. This way the puppet will turn the same way the performer's head turns and won't feel so backwards.

On Mac you can use an app called CamTwist to create the virtual camera.
