3. How to broadcast from the venue and let remote speakers join the event.

Step 1: Add A/V feed from the venue link.

Step 2: Create a Dummy speaker profile for your A/V team, which can join the session using the speaker's unique link and broadcast the feed coming from the live show.

Step 3: A/V needs to join backstage of the event before the session and change the camera input to the encoder (obs virtual camera, NDI virtual camera, or other camera input sources)

Step 4: Now, all the feed from the venue will be broadcast to the Airmeet session, and meanwhile, other remote speakers can also join in the Airmeet and interact with offline participants.

Step 5: Your A/V team needs to send video & microphone output from the venue to the Airmeet session and take input from Airmeet for other offline participants to hear the remote speakers.
