vMix Download: get set up in minutes
Everything you need before you click the vMix download button: what your PC must have, how the installer works and what happens during the trial.
How to download vMix and install it
The process is short. Follow the order below and your first test mix will be ready before your coffee cools.
Run the vMix download
Save the installer file to your disk. It is a single executable, so there is nothing to unpack.
Start the setup wizard
Open the file, accept the licence terms and choose the folder where the program should live.
Add the extras you need
Tick the optional components for codecs and network tools if your show uses them.
Launch and choose a mode
On the first start vMix asks for a project size. Pick 1080p or 4K to match your cameras.
Connect your first source
Press Add Input, select a camera or a video file and watch it appear in the preview window.

What you get with the vMix trial
Sixty days of testing
The trial clock starts on first launch and covers every top edition feature, so your rehearsal matches the real thing.
No feature gates
Try replay, virtual sets, remote guests and streaming without unlocking anything first.
Easy upgrade path
Enter a licence key later and your projects, presets and settings stay exactly where they are.
Problems after a vMix download
The installer will not start
Right-click the file and run it as administrator. Also confirm that your Windows version is 64-bit, because the program does not support 32-bit systems.
My camera does not show up
Close any other app that is using the camera, then press Add Input again. USB devices sometimes need a different port to deliver full bandwidth.
The preview is choppy
Lower the project resolution, reduce the number of active inputs or check that the graphics card driver is current. Choppy video is almost always a load problem.
Can I install it on two computers?
The trial can be installed for testing on more than one machine. A paid licence is tied to a key, so read its terms before you move a production setup.
Which edition should I pick afterwards?
If you need 4K, unlimited inputs and multi-camera replay, read the vMix Pro page from the menu and compare it with your show plan.
Your vMix download is one click away
Check the requirements, grab the installer and start a free trial. You can switch between editions later without losing work.
