ZoomOSCpaid

The director presses a button on the console, and in Zoom the right speaker is spotlighted, the spare microphones go quiet, screen sharing starts. The meeting is run by the same buttons as the lights and sound in the hall.

What it is

OSC, Open Sound Control, is the protocol spoken by consoles, lighting and sound desks and show automation systems. ZoomOSC is a Liminal app that receives OSC commands and controls the Zoom app. The meeting becomes one more device in the control room: a speaker is spotlighted with a button, microphones are muted by a QLab cue, the layout is changed by a Stream Deck macro.

Control goes both ways. ZoomOSC not only takes commands but also reports the meeting state and participant data, including the gallery order. So the automation knows who is speaking and who is where in the grid, and reacts on its own.

Paired with ZoomISO, which outputs isolated participant feeds to the broadcast, it makes a complete production: ZoomOSC decides who is in the frame, ZoomISO delivers their signal. Both are part of the Enhanced Media add-on.

What it controls
  • Pinning and spotlighting participants
  • Video, screen sharing, microphones
  • Messages to chat
  • Meeting state and participant data as output
  • Consoles, Stream Deck, QLab, Companion, automation

The meeting as a device in the control room

A mouse in the Zoom interface cannot keep up with a show. A console can, if Zoom understands its commands.

One button per action

Spotlight the speaker, unmute them, mute the rest, share the screen. All of it a macro on a button, not a series of clicks.

By the script

QLab or an automation system runs the event by cues, and Zoom switches together with lights and sound.

The automation sees the meeting

Participant data and the gallery order go out. The integration works out who is speaking and builds its reaction.

Scenes

Where it works

Wherever Zoom is run by a script, not as it goes

01

A large event

Dozens of remote speakers, each brought on by cues in QLab. The director does not hunt for them in the gallery.

02

An equipped hall

The hall console runs lights, sound and Zoom the same way. The operator does not switch between systems.

03

A live broadcast

A Stream Deck on the director's desk: speaker, screen, microphones. Every action with one button.

04

Theatre and performance

Remote participants enter the show on QLab cues. Zoom follows the same score as the lights.

05

Training and lecture halls

One operator runs a lecture with several teachers, switching them with macros.

06

Deployment with RightConf

A command scheme for the customer's script, configuring the console and integrations, pairing with ZoomISO, a rehearsal with the director. Then support in Russian.

Where it is used

Typical scenarios

A large event

Speaker changes follow a script rather than an agreement in the chat.

An equipped room

Zoom is controlled from the same panel as the lights and sound.

Live broadcast

The director's actions are executed instantly and predictably.
