Hey! Looking to stream your OBS output over to Discord but dissatisfied with all of the copy/paste AI articles telling you to use the virtual camera? Don't fret as I was able to figure out how to do it right and also have audio from the sources you want!
If this video helped, like the video and comment so others looking for help can get the assistance they need.
If this video did not help or is outdated, please mention this in the comments so others looking for assistance don't get stuck with an outdated tutorial.
OBS Studio: obsproject.com/
Discord: discord.com/
The steps:
Step 1 - Open OBS and open your settings
Step 2 - Go into 'Audio' on the left.
Step 3 - Scroll down to 'Advanced' and set a monitoring device.
Step 4 - In order to prevent feedback, that often being your friends in Discord hearing themselves through your stream, you'll want to set up your audio sources with the "Application Audio Capture" source that OBS has built-in.
Within your sources tab, click the plus icon and then select "Application Audio Capture (BETA)". Name it whatever you'd like and hit OK. In the next window that pops up, you're going to set the window option to be the application you want the audio from.
Step 5 - In the Audio Mixer tab, select the gear icon so that you go into the Advanced Audio Settings.
Step 6 - Now, with the audio source or sources you want, go over to the Audio Monitoring area and choose the "Monitor and Output" option within the drop down. Now hit Close.
Step 7 - Right click your preview area in OBS and select the option that says "Windowed Projector (Preview)". You can enlarge the window that pops up if you'd like.
Step 8 - While in a voice call that allows streaming, go ahead and start a stream by clicking the stream button. Then select the Windowed Projector (Preview) option. If you don't see it, make sure it's not minimized as that will cause it to not show up.
Step 9 - You're done! Audio will now go through to Discord from your OBS capture.

In Discord you can now also stream via sources (like OBS webcam). Is it possible to have the audio in that?

@EnnTomi1 3 месяца назад

does have this preview affect gaming performance? or is it the same as normal OBS setup? do i have to enlarge the preview window?

@myRAYgame-Disk2 3 месяца назад

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.

@ttvxiclapz1 Месяц назад

there is no option for Application Audio Capture (BETA)

@myRAYgame-Disk2 Месяц назад

If the option does not show up in the source dock then Game/Window Capture may have that option as a checkbox in the source's properties window.

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

@myRAYgame-Disk2 3 месяца назад

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

i need help. i dont know what i did but i want to stream obs on discord. but its not working. need a tutorial after downloading obs

@myRAYgame-Disk2 8 месяцев назад

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.

@xucaen Месяц назад

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.

@jonakin5016 Месяц назад

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!

@xucaen Месяц назад

it baffles me why they can't make an easier interface. These should all be on one screen called "Streaming Audio settings".

@simonebonfanti7290 5 месяцев назад

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?

@myRAYgame-Disk2 5 месяцев назад

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.

@MatheusNiisama 2 месяца назад

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.

@myRAYgame-Disk2 Месяц назад

Discord doesn't stream/transmit audio from webcams. Don't use virtual camera.

@thepeternetwork Месяц назад

What about the OBS Virtual Camera? I've heard people say that works as well?

@myRAYgame-Disk2 Месяц назад

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.

@luca_franca 2 месяца назад

How can I transmit everything I have on the desktop, except my voice so there is no echo?

@myRAYgame-Disk2 Месяц назад

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

@jameswright3780 Месяц назад

how do I get my audio from Xbox (on discord) to go thru my capture card and my audio Aswell?

@myRAYgame-Disk2 Месяц назад

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).

@Geeemwo 3 месяца назад

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?

@myRAYgame-Disk2 2 месяца назад

@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

@KamiNoKaze28 Месяц назад

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.

@myRAYgame-Disk2 Месяц назад

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.

@KamiNoKaze28 Месяц назад

@@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

If I added Discord itself as an audio source in OBS and mute it, would that resolve the issue of hearing voices when I don't want to?

@myRAYgame-Disk2 6 месяцев назад

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 🙂
