For remote guests, follow this guide to use [VDO.Ninja](https://support.xsplit.com/en/article/adding-guests-with-vdoninja-h0h037/).

Adding your guests remotely is possible on XSplit Broadcaster for your podcasts, interviews, and other live stream presentation format. First choose which video conferencing application you will use (i.e. Teams, Discord, Zoom, Google Meet, etc.).

If you are using Skype, you can learn how to use the Skype NDI feature integrated with Broadcaster [here](/en/article/using-skype-ndi-with-xsplit-broadcaster-68664c/).

First, set up a call with your guest on your video conferencing application and add it as a *screen capture* source on your Broadcaster’s scene.

* Click on **Add Source > Desktop Capture** and choose either *Smart Selection* or *Window Capture* then select your active video conference.

In this guide, we'll use **Desktop Capture > Smart Selection** as an example to bring the existing Zoom camera source to the XSplit Broadcaster stage.
