Hello! Quick question! I can't seem to be able to pull up the OBS Virtual Camera on my Discord Video and Voice settings! :( It won't connect or even give that option. I am using OBS and the Discord Desktop app, not the browser. Any help? Thanks!
BTW, folks who want to stream to Discord and to twitch using OBS can not use this method. Twitch uses the OBS mic settings differently than Discord does.
The capture card should be capping both audio and video, so having just the capture card should suffice and should show up in the audio mixer to the right of the source(s). With that in mind, you'd be able to skip the application audio capture step (but make sure desktop audio is still muted).
Something is strange about this, maybe you guys could help. So, the first time I tried, it worked perfectly. But since that time, each try has been failed, I can't make it work again this way. I tried doing it all others again, countless times, play with my set up, but ... Meh. I'm using Ableton 11 with a Focusrite (+ drivers) - dunno if someone has a tip.
I'm sorry, I'm unfamiliar with the programs you're using. If they come up as if they were any kind of standard input/output, then it should work just fine. If you have the ability, try using separate hardware that doesn't go through any mixers (or similar hardware/software) and see if the problem continues. If it does, it's possible that this tutorial is outdated or OBS has something wrong with it and could do for a reinstall onto your machine.
@@myRAYgame-Disk2 Thanks for looking into it anyway ! It worked at the beginning, something has changed but can't figure what. And anyway, Discord is making it so hard for us to share app with sound ... I'll just try again sometimes. Cheers
OBS Virtual Camera to Discord works for video only since Discord doesn't transmit webcam audio. During my own investigation, I found all too many Copy/Paste / AI written articles saying "Use the virtual camera", but I wanted to get audio and video transmitted, not just video.
Sorry for such a late response, but this may not be possible. Desktop audio is simply just what your computer is sending to your audio device. This means that if you're using one set of headphones for everything, then all of that goes through. Users in discord will hear their own voice coming back at them through the stream. If you mean that you just don't want your mic going through, then all you need to do is mute it's source and you're good to go
I'm having a problem with it that I haven't seen anyone talking about. Putting it simply, my audio mixing settings on OBS are not comming through the Discord stream. My only guess is that it's a Discord problem, cause during one of the tests, I turned off my virtual camera on OBS and stopped streaming, but didn't click the button to stop streaming on Discord itself, so they could still hear me talking as if I didn't stop streaming.
Hey so they can only hear my audio if I set my monitoring device to whatever my headphones is. But that means I can hear my audio twice if I set it there. any help?
@Geeemwo as long as the dead audio output exists, then discord should capture it, regardless of where it goes to. I'm unsure how to help beyond that unfortunately
Yes, performance will be effected but it may be slight or not even noticeable. Remember that you're also streaming to Discord, so that will have it's own effect. And also a solid maybe. You'll probably want to test, but having the window smaller means that the resolution is much less than if it was fullscreened. However, if nobody in the chat seems to see a problem then who cares. You will need to avoid minimizing the window, though. When it's minimized, Discord will not see it and even if you're streaming before minimizing, it's a good chance that the window will stop updating the video and your friends just see a frozen stream.
Sorry for asking a little late but why does my preview looks very good but when i stream it to discord it looks super pixelated and by that i mean like the stream looks like a 144p youtube video. Can you help me fix that? And awesome tutorial btw<3
As long as you have the preview window maximized/fullscreen then it shouldn't have issues. If it does and it's in fullscreen, then it's probably just a discord issue with pushing the stream to viewers
mine wasnt fixed, does it only work in discord servers? or dm's too cause my friend said that they couldnt hear the game still and my voice quality got worse
I used to do this before and a few months of not streaming makes me completely forgot how I did it (also lost my setting and profiles lol) Thanks for the ease of access tutorial! It's short but concise, good stuff.
Hi there, thank you very much for this very helpfull video. Do you know if there is a chance to stream only the central screen on a triple monitor setup msnaged by Nvdia surround?
Nvidia surround makes it so that all connected (and configured) screens act as one large monitor. OBS wouldn't be able to differentiate one monitor from another, so no, it's unlikely. What you could do instead is you can size and crop the monitor capture in OBS to show just the center monitor area in your output.
Unfortunately, this isn't detailed enough to understand exactly what you're looking for but here's a couple guesses; If you're just looking to 'deafen' yourself from Discord so that you can't hear others at all, you can use the deafen option in Discord itself (The headphones, they will have a cross when you are deafened but it will also mute you from others). You can set a key bind in Discord's settings to also do this for you, such as toggle deafen. If you mean that you're trying to record Discord and hearing the monitored output, then muting it will also mute it in the output, meaning it is not captured and will be inaudible. This is why you should try to set up a "dead audio device" for monitoring so that you aren't hearing the output, but it's still being captured. If you mean that the Discord audio is doubling up (or echoing) while Discord is NOT being captured individually, this means that you are monitoring your desktop audio and you should instead set up Application Audio Capture so that you capture only from the apps you want. If anything here is not what you're looking for or doesn't work, please explain a little bit better so that I can try to help you a little more 🙂
Setting up OBS can be easy. If it's a fresh install then the startup should have you selecting if you want to stream or record. Either option is fine for your case. After you do that, you should be good to follow the walkthrough as shown on the video.
If I needed to learn how to stream OBS with audio to Discord (in a way that still works in 2024) and I had only three minutes and thirty-eight seconds to learn it, you would be the first person I come to for help! Thanks for uploading, good video
