Integrating Livestream/Slido/Vimeo into Webex as a source

[ThomHemler]

I would love to use the look and feel of my own broadcast through our Webex portal using Livestream Switcher and Slido for interaction and polls. We love the Webex analytics and sign-up methodology. But, the video-follow-audio is laggy and unreliable. I'd like to have more control over what participants see and add features like PIP, Lower Thirds, Roll ins, Roll outs, like a real broadcast should be like for a Webinar inside a Webex wrapper. Our Livestream feed now goes through Slido (since they bought the technology) This combined signal has an embed code. Is there a way to send this embed code through the Webex stream giving us total control of what the viewer sees and reacts to? We'd still use Webex for scheduling, analytics, muting, starting and stopping, etc. But, we want our own "branded" look and feel. It wouldn't be a "share" per se', it would be more of an element of the broadcast signal generated from out location. Like a camera.

Possible?

for advanced "broadcasting studio" - like features you may want to try OBS:  https://obsproject.com/

BUT:
I have seen reports in this forum, that the output (as virtual WebCam) does not work with Webex/Webex-Meetings for all users/all Operating-Systems..
You may need to test this, to find out about your configuration.

I've tried that, but LiveStream is much more robust and not open code. I have to use Webex as my connection portal, this is my main concern, even using OBS. That's what the company has invested in, and what people have come to understand to use. I guess it pretty much is not possible, since it would bypass all of the Webex features and replace with Slido Q&A, Polls. Not something I'm sure Webex would embrace. Even if I could replace the stream and leave the Webex functionality of polls and questions/chat, that would be a huge improvement. My biggest gripe is that Webex is laggy in switching active speakers based on audio signal, and sometimes switches to people that just cough, or doesn't switch to the active speaker at all. I need better control over this. But, thanks.

ah, sorry, I did not know/recognize that "LiveStream" is a brandname/product.
