Automatic camera switching for vMix
Auto Camera switches cameras according to the person currently speaking. It reduces manual switching in podcasts, interviews, debates and multicamera live productions.
How it works
Let the conversation control the cameras
Auto Camera uses microphone activity to decide which camera should be on air. This creates a responsive multicamera mix without requiring constant manual switching.
Map speakers to shots
Configure up to 10 microphone–camera pairs, select the audio source and channel for each speaker, and assign the vMix input that should be shown.
Set the switching rules
Choose the noise floor, activation threshold, hold time, minimum active time and minimum shot duration to match the rhythm of the conversation.
Run the production
Auto Camera monitors the configured audio and switches the assigned vMix shot. Optional workflows can also use ATEM output, wide shots and PTZ presets.
Key features
Built for real live production workflows
Up to 10 speaker mappings

Production safeguards
Use hold time, minimum shot duration, manual-cut pause and optional input restrictions to avoid unwanted cuts.

Configure a wide shot at intervals, after multiple speakers, or use an idle camera when nobody is speaking.
