Getting started

Install

1. Download VisionMixer.dmg from visionmixer.app, open it, and drag VisionMixer to Applications.
2. On first launch your 14-day trial starts automatically — every feature unlocked, no account or card. The title bar shows the days remaining.
3. VisionMixer will offer to install its components. Say yes to both:
   • Camera extension — click Install / Update Extension, then approve it in System Settings → Privacy & Security. This is the virtual camera other apps see.
   • Audio devices — one admin password installs three virtual devices: VisionMixer Mic (your mix, into calls), VisionMixer Speaker (call audio, back into the mixer) and VisionMixer System (the Mac's own audio, as a fader). Audio restarts briefly.
4. Grant permissions when macOS asks: Camera, Microphone, and Screen Recording (needed for display/window capture and system audio). A banner inside the app tracks anything still missing.

Your first scene

1. On the Show tab you'll see your cameras and capture devices as live thumbnails. Click one to put it on the canvas, or use the ＋ menu in the Layers panel to add displays, windows, clips, images, browsers, shapes, text, 3D text, NDI or RTSP sources.
2. Drag layers on the canvas to move them; use the handles to resize. The inspector on the right holds everything else — crop, corners, borders, keying, filters.
3. Save the arrangement as a scene with the camera button in the Scenes drawer. Scenes show live thumbnails and load with a click.

Go live somewhere

• A meeting: pick VisionMixer Camera as your camera in Teams, Zoom or Meet. See Using VisionMixer in meetings for the full audio setup.
• A stream: add a destination under the Stream button and go live. See Streaming, recording and outputs.
