# Sending and receiving content via NDI

You can stream the entire conference layout or a separate video window via NDA in the local network. It is possible to broadcast multiple NDI streams in parallel.

It is not possible to broadcast a video window with shared content as a separate NDI stream.

To ensure stable work when streaming via NDI, we recommend using a wired connection of TrueConf Room to the local network. Wi-Fi bandwidth might not be sufficient for transmitting high-quality media streams broadcast via NDI.

# Streaming the general layout

To stream the conference layout with audio, you will need to:

  1. Click the Change layout button in the conference control panel.

  2. Click /docs/room/media/gui/more_layouts/en.png button at the bottom.

  3. Confirm the mixed stream transmission by clicking the Enable NDI button.

# Streaming a slideshow

To stream a slideshow, do the following:

  1. In the conference control panel, click the Slideshow button.

  2. Activate the switcher Show slides via NDI which is in the lower part of menu.

# Streaming a participant’s video window

To stream a participant’s video window with audio, you will need to:

  1. Click on the Participants button in the meeting control panel.

  2. Click on the /docs/room/media/gui/more/en.png button which is right next to a participant’s name. Then select the Enable NDI option.

  3. The participant will have the /docs/room/media/gui/ndi/en.png status: it indicates that NDI has been enabled.

# Receiving an NDI steam

To capture an NDI stream and send it to the conference layout, go to device settings and select the stream instead of the camera and/or microphone.

Please note that you will not be able to share video and audio from your camera and microphone when capturing an incoming NDI stream.
