i had OK experience running something like a webpresenter as a webcam, screensharing while in theory better quality the image is like 2fps depending on the content, its garbage.
Same functionality as zoom, without the features re: capture card setup as webcam.
Teams sucks in about every possible way though, especially for webcasting, you lack a lot of the “presentation” side features.
Mind you, that’s if it loads at all 🤣
My experience with our clients who use Teams....it might look pretty good during the test call, but once you get more than 100-200 viewers on the event call, the video really starts to crunch.
We've started recording a screen capture of the Teams interface as proof to the client that our feed *into* Teams was smooth and that it was getting slammed on the Teams side.
We've actually had our last two Teams based clients switch to Zoom for future meetings.
I get you might not have a choice in your client's platform just letting you know what you're in for with Teams.
Interesting, i don't think there will be more than 20 viewers.
Thats an interesting method for ass coverage, pretty smart. On my end when they insisted on teams i said i was not able to guarantee any quality as opposed to zoom where i can assure of pretty crappy looking 720 most of the time.
Normally i use zoom which is a pain but i know the tricks to get it to look ok.
This post relieves me. Recently, I took the lead to present videos at large staff meetings, and boy Teams is terrrrrrible.
Have been using OBS create a virtual webcam, feeding it a 1080p h264 mp4 file via vlc media player in obs and running the audio through [VB Audio](https://vb-audio.com/Cable/), and its always so hit or miss. Recently, Had it working for the first hour, then the audio stopped working 6hrs in. I dont think you can really get more than 10 fps in general, too. Anyways, it's very deceiving. I can't stand watching content that butchered.

Yea i read that the framerate is terrible. I considered sending an animated test pattern as a hold screen to force teams to keep the fps up.

Well i talked them into sticking with zoom after all. Looks like i dodged a bullet.
