Making a more engaging show is something every producer tries to do for whatever project they’re working on. Now with the popularity of podcasts only rising, the same applies for anyone embarking on such an endeavor.
Microsoft Skype has released a new version (8.25 on Windows and Mac) that integrates NewTek’s NDI®, the royalty free bidirectional technology for IP transport of video, audio, metadata and communications using standard networks. The user can now engage NDI to use video from a networked camera or device as the video source to send with the Skype audio. High-quality professional video cameras can replace lower resolution and low framerate webcams, allowing for a much better presentation for the caller, especially for applications such as guest expert on a broadcast news program.
This summer, Microsoft’s Skype for Windows 10 and Mac desktops will gain a new mode that will enable users to work collaboratively on livestreams, podcasts and other video content.
Dubbed Skype for Content Creators and currently in beta, the new mode dispenses with the need for additional equipment to record multiuser video calls and streams.
Now in preview, Skype for Content Creators is designed to open new interactive possibilities for our users all over the world—including leading digital broadcasters, streamers, and vloggers—to record videos, podcasts, and live streaming calls without having to invest in expensive studio equipment.
