speaker and mic
OK I just get another new Tinypilot , I found a new feature for stream video.
if there is any possibility for voices in 2 direction - work as speaker and mic ?
David @david2023-04-21 11:18:14.792ZHi @sherif, thanks for your question!
A few other users have expressed interest in using TinyPilot as a microphone input to their target machine. We have internal tickets open to look into how feasible it would be to forward audio to a TinyPilot device and output it to the connected computer as a virtual USB microphone. We don’t have a timeline yet, but we prioritize features based on user demand, so we’ll definitely consider your feedback in our planning.
Other users are experimenting with JackTrip to hack together this functionality themselves. So this might be something you're interested in researching further.
Hope that helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi @david, any update on the mic support? or ETA?
David @david2023-07-27 11:07:10.070ZHi @siddyBuff, thanks for your interest in microphone support!
I don't have much of an update for you since my earlier post. We have tickets open internally to research microphone forwarding functionality for TinyPilot, but we don’t have a timeline yet. We prioritize features based on user demand, so I've added a note to our internal tickets to let the team know you're interested in microphone forwarding, and we’ll definitely consider your feedback in our planning.
Please let me know if you have any other questions or feature suggestions!

Hi @ghanebaal, thanks for your interest!
I've made a note on our internal ticket about your interest in bidirectional audio.
Please let me know if there's anything else I can help with!

Hi,
I was wondering what would be the cost of implementing this mic feature? It is critical for my use case, and probably more users than the ones requesting it here.Thank you
Michael Lynch @michael2024-03-25 17:56:36.141ZCustomers have asked about sponsoring development for certain features in the past, but it's never really worked out. Our dev team is just two people working part time, so implementing a feature like this would require all of their bandwidth for 3-6 months. The cost of sponsoring this feature would have to be something in the six-figure range for us to commit to working on this feature alone for 3-6 months.
I understand that it's an important feature, and it is something that's on our long-term roadmap, but I think we can deliver other features for a better ROI in the short-term.
Hi Tinypilot team, is any update on mic part of this device? And also do you have web cam feature?

Hi @seyfi, thanks for you questions!
is any update on mic part of this device?
Sending microphone input to a target machine is still something we're interested in and something we're actively investigating. We don’t have a timeline for microphone input, but we prioritize features based on user demand, so we’ll definitely consider your feedback in our planning.
And also do you have web cam feature?
Unfortunately, TinyPilot doesn't have any web cam features. Can I ask more about your desired use case? i.e., what is it you hope to do with microphone / webcam input?
I hope that helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Desired use case is extremely simply to explain. Teams, Zoom, Slack... these all use bi-directional sound and video. If supported, I'd buy numerous devices today. I literally came to the forum to see if this was supported by the device. :(

Hi Matthew, thanks for sharing your use case for camera and microphone support. Our experience suggests that most users connect to conference calls from a local device, which we'd recommend as it minimizes the latency involved, but I appreciate that isn't always possible. We consider user feedback when planning future improvements, so I'll share your comment with the team.

I have the exact same issue. Company laptop, no admin access, need to join Teams meeting from that laptop from a remote location. There are thousands of people who would love to do the same thing. Need mic, sound, and video over remote. Using a local device is not an option.
- MMatthew @matthew
Thanks for the support. I think this is a much bigger use case than they understand. I know hundreds of people who have this issue at just one org. It’s painful shlepping around multiple laptops (work and personal)!

Same problem here:
Have a MacBook as my main system, but need to switch a lot between several client systems (win/linux) where I'm having video calls and usually no admin/root access.
KVM switches work, but are cumbersome with > 2 machines.
If this is feasible via KVM over IP I would buy :-)
