We’ll focus on the following use cases, with two different workflows for people to use depending on what they want to do:

Workflow 2: Recording Video for Post-Production.

Good audio quality comes thanks to the Satin codec in Teams the NDI-out feature now provides the option for isolated audio tracks attached to each video feed.

It is now very reliable – and appears to work the first time, every time. Since then, Microsoft has improved the NDI-out feature. The NDMP-out feature works but lacks flexibility. Additional capabilities arrived in early 2022 then this April Microsoft launched a built-in capability to steam to platforms like YouTube & LinkedIn Live directly from Teams. In our first article on Teams broadcast features back in June 2021, we used this feature when it first launched. NDI is an industry-standard protocol for network video, and OBS is the de-facto standard software for live streaming. In this article, we’ll use the NDI-out Teams broadcast feature to allow us to use a normal Microsoft Teams meeting as both the green room and “stage” for a webinar or event, taking the individual presenter video & audio feeds & screen sharing, and then use OBS 28 to provide a professional quality output. People presenting get the convenience and consistent experience of Microsoft Teams, and your marketing people can use the platforms they already use for webinars, with additional flexibility and customization. If you want to reach your audience on third-party platforms, like LinkedIn Live or YouTube, or pre-record events and webinars to edit and publish online later, this is the best option.

Microsoft’s “broadcast” features have been quietly improving over time, and when compared to the features announced at Ignite 2022 in Microsoft Teams Premium for webinars, still offer the best overall experience.
