Love this: I’m editing my slides for tomorrow’s talk at PrivacyWeek using slides.com on my elementary OS daily driver and getting an almost real-time preview in the Atem Mini Pro multiview from my Pop!_OS laptop that’s playing the presentation.

Photo of the scene described in the post. Two laptops and two external screens. One screen is on my desk and showing the slides.com editing view. The other is on a stand behind the laptops and showing the Atem Mini Pro multiview.

Also, note that the MacBook is absent in the setup.

With slides.com, I don’t need Keynote anymore and I’ve decided I can live without macros on the Atem so I ditched the Elgato Streamdeck as well as the software for those only runs on Mac or Windows. So my streaming/presentation setup is 100% Linux now: one machine for demos & to stream via the web and one to run the slides from.

Damn it, I do need the Atem macros after all so the bloody MacBook has to stay.

In the meanwhile if anyone knows of alternatives to the Atem Mini Pro and Elgato Stream Deck that don’t lock you into Windows or macOS, please let me know.

Absolutely love the Atem as a video switcher but their lack of support for Linux will eventually make me give it up if there’s a viable alternative.

I've hardly any knowledge of this, so feel free to ignore; but with how many cameras do you start to need external hardware? Could OBS just do it for you perhaps?
