Great setup Alisa, I'm eyeing your camera setup and might upgrade mine to that 😬 (given all those can work on Linux 😜)

Thanks Deepu! 🥰 You def should consider it! I don't think there's anything OS specific in the camera/video setup - the ATEM Mini has Linux support (but Aaron might know more). Only the mic might be an issue for you... 🤔

The ATEM Mini should work as a webcam on linux since it's just UVC, but the software control app definitely does not work on Linux. You could use an iOS device for that though since the MixEffect app is a full featured iOS version, easy to throw on a cheap iPad Mini or iPod Touch!

Oops! I completely forgot about the software since I've been using the ATEM Mini as a webcam only. Thanks for the clarification and suggestion Aaron! ❤️

Well I'm proudly Apple free (except for the mandatory work Mac 😉) anyway I'm only planning upgrade the camera so Atem is not a concern for now

For those who need to switch between devices but don't have the hardware for it, you can use Symless Synergy. It shares mouse and keyboard via LAN, you can use both PCs at the same time, works as you were extending screens

The sockets look surprised and in doubt.
