Connecting sound from OBS to Zoom or Teams

Want to play music or videos through OBS and have them play in Zoom or Teams well this video will guide you through how to export sound mic/music/videos from OBS into you meeting software.
You'll need a Virtual Audio Cable.
VB Audio (recommended)
vb-audio.com/Cable/
Blackhole 16ch (what I use)
github.com/ExistentialAudio/B...
Loopback (gets a good name for Mac but I haven't used it)

[@nalam14]

This has to be the simplest, most to the point explanation out there! Thanks a lot man 🙌

[@brucequinnplayground2114]

I agree this is a great tutorial, but it's too bad OBS doesn't have a simple AUDIO OUTPUT the way it has VIRTUAL CAMERA OUTPUT. In ZOom you pick OBS VIRTUAL CAMERA OUTPUT, two seconds. You should also be able to pick OBS VIRTUAL AUDIO OUTPUT, two seconds. Not a 15 minute video with all the steps of our current situation. If OBS can easilyi send visual and audio to stream, or to recording, why not to zoom just as easy.

[@mouadbenaicha4378]

I spent so much time with voicemeter's complexity. This has been the simplest method to connecting my optimized OBS audio to Zoom (or any communication app). Thank you very much Jamie!

[@GonzPaoli]

Agreed Mouad! Someone recommended Voicemeeter to me, but all I really needed was a way to send my filtered and processed audio FROM OBS TO Zoom; Now I know I can do that with the virtual cable! Thanks Jamie!

[@zaccoveney]

You absolute legend!!! Went through about 40 KZbin tutorials and installed 3 different programs to do this and nothing worked. Thank you so much for this wonderful video!

[@JamieBGall]

Thanks! Glad it helped. Took me ages to get my head around.

[@conanichigawa]

Such a simple and straightforward tutorial. Thank you!

[@colinmillward5353]

Excellent and completely clear. You've explained the meaning of what's happening as well as what to do. Now I know what's happening, I will be able to troubleshoot much more easily. Thank you very much!

[@LIVMINISTRIES]

This is the best and simplest explanation on how to connect the OBS audio to ZOOM. Thank you!!! Literally saved our meeting.

[@louperez359]

Thanks man! I tried following other KZbin instructions and got nothing. This was the only one that was easy to follow and get my Audio from OBS into Teams and Zoom. Now I can add the noise filters and get my audio in sync with OBS. So happy.

[@coribecca1]

This is AMAZING. I've literally spent hours trying to figure this out. Thank you so much!!!

[@sergesaint]

At last someone explained this clearly!!!! THANKS, THANKS, THANKS!!!!

[@howie3423]

its so funny cuz all these teachers are thanking this guy for helping out with lessons when im out here using this to zoom bomb

[@jurnalmarhaen3800]

The zoom setting to turn original sound is the best pointer. Thank you very much

[@bshaun2740]

Omg thank you so much. I’ve been trying to automate my class attendance for an experiment and I couldn’t figure out the audio. Thanks mate!

[@edmireles_jr5420]

Great video, I have been looking and working on some of these videos trying to connect my Virtual Cables and this is by far the most helpful....Kudos Jamie. Keep up the good work.

[@wawa05forjesus]

[@samuelhaines617]

Brilliant and clear explanation. Thanks, mate!

[@TheVillain_BG]

Wow, Thank you for the clear and easy to understand tutorial.

[@RapidFlow_Shop]

THAAAANK YOU! This is the only video ( I have seen a bunch) that points out you need to enable "output and monitor" in OBS! Without it Blackhole 16Ch is dead. Took me ages to figure that out thanks to you! Subbed

[@onyxburstyt3995]

wow it works, even my condenser mic sounds good now. Thanks Jamie

[@esmcpatna]

Thank you so much. You have a great knowledge of OBS and zoom. Hope you will rise to a great height as technical teacher

[@AwaisKhan-dt5eg]

Thanx very much dude. Been having this problem for a while. Great video.

[@soly8354]

OMG I love you man, thank you so much, this is exactly what I was looking for ❤️️❤️️

[@relevantinformation6655]

What an excellent presentation. Thank you !

[@kaaaiyu]

Thank you really much. This is the only tutorial that worked for me.

[@srowley85]

You gave a nice concise method for doing this. Cheers!

[@johndn9238]

Very well explained, thanks very much for a lot of good information in a concise video.

[@shuttergirlUK]

That was super helpful. Thank you!

[@sicknalflow3916]

Simple and clear thanks mate !

[@uncolored2613]

Excellent tutorial. I'm a subscriber now.

[@festivitycat]

Thanks very much - I'd got 90% of the way there in my own setup, but I'd missed one step which you covered here (setting the Monitoring device in OBS)!

[@world_production]

Great tutorial ! Not sure why there isn’t a lot of views yet ! Thx 👍

[@world_production]

You know what I’m gonna subscribe to support

[@MrBrettStar]

Thank you! I had the virtual audio cable and couldn't work it out... Thanks to your video I realised that I had the audio monitoring turned off

[@groupemastermind]

Thanks a lot for the video and the link ! 👍🏼

[@juanenrique8]

Finally. I found an useful answer. Thanks a lot

[@pianofolder]

Wow.....It's really Work..... easy to be done.... thank you so much

[@dwilburn707]

Wow. Just the video I needed

[@CelestineMoon]

Hello, i've been looking for hours and hours to achieve the same things but from obs to discord, simplier and less confusing tutorial ! Thanks alot !

[@davidnollmusic363]

Thanks for your very helpful video!

[@MerryTech]

This setup in OBS worked with source-nexus as well. Thanks!! I'll have to check out Blackhole 16 in the future

[@EdKenUK]

Great vid! Thank you mate

[@regeanme]

I love it, more power! thanks for your help!

[@Allootah]

finally i found the answer . on the new version you need to select zoom background noise removal and select low

[@ar3hm4n]

Broooo, Thank you soooo much I have been trying to do it since a week

[@michaelionita]

Awesome thanks a lot for this. Saved me a lot of frustration. Using an M1 Mac with Big Sur AND a Canon Camera hooked up with Canon Webcam Utilities. And those Utilities don't work with M1 native software yet. In Zoom for example, Google Meets etc. Thus I was streaming my Canon via an older OBS version (compiled for Intel) but that way the Audio is faster than the Video, because Video needs to pass through OBS and the Virtual Camera Plugin first, while the Audio goes directly into Zoom, Google Meets or what have you. With a virtual Audio Cable I can now pass Audio though OBS as well, delay it for 200ms to now match perfectly with my lip movements. THANKS A LOT!

[@GonzPaoli]

Thank you for this direct, to-the-point tutorial Jamie! This is EXACTLY what I was looking to do. I have a question! Since the cable will be MONITORING the audio, will I be able to set the output in OBS to "Monitor only"?

[@sdhpCH]

That helped a lot, thank you!

[@terence77o7]

Thank you. I found it useful

[@RJdeKeizer]

a great help, thank you sir

[@RAPTORRAY]

Also works for discord, google meet, and other apps!

[@JamieBGall]

Yay! Glad it worked. Can live your best Zoom life now.

[@chorloonkent]

Thanks! It works

[@MrSimify]

Thanks. I'm now a subscriber :-) Is there a similar option/step to choose "original audio" in Ms Teams?

[@6bthedevil]

DUDE! May your next meal be delicious 👊💥

[@cac2244]

I installed months ago and coming back to this video, you saved me again... I DID A ROOKIE MISTAKE and I use OBS to send to MS Teams and I had sent my headset (what I hear) and it was monitoring and outputing...no wonder why people said they could hear echo...

[@debgunn5334]

Hi Jamie, excellent video! I am using an external mixer for my microphone and sound, however, I want to place a looping audio from Obs to zoom. Is this the same procedure...only naming my external mixer instead of a virtual cable? Do I still need to download a virtual cable when I have actual cables to a mixer? I'm not getting the sound into zoom, even though it appears to be showing up in my audio mixer in OBS. (Even though I can't hear it anywhere.) Thank you in advance! :)

[@studio27productions24]

Brilliant explanation Jamie, thank you. This all seems to work well.. but I get no audio playback from my prerecorded OBS inserts as they are playing out on zoom.. the other participants do get audio though. I've been through all my speaker settings but nothing seems to work..any thoughts?

[@ExtremeWays4Bourne]

Loved it, subscribed. Just one suggestion: it would be great if you explain how using OBS audio feed in Zoom would actually be a better experience.

[@JamieBGall]

Thanks! That's a really good idea, thanks

[@josipmalkoc8382]

Mr Gallagher....Hallelujah hahahaha seriously dude, thank you so much for making this video and for it being so easy to follow. I've been pulling what hair out (what I have left) hahaha. You have a new sub 🤘🏼

[@thescoobydoovibe]

Thank you so much!!

[@Coastalrat]

Thanks mate!

[@SpikeyMuscle]

Thank you so much for this video! It took me about 5 youtube videos and 2.5 hours, but finally after seeing yours it worked! It was an amazing night! 🙏

[@OlegTishin]

Thank you so much!

[@ChabadWilmette]

Hi Jamie, Great Video! I am using OBS for zoom presentations with student participation. When students ask questions they hear an echo of themselves and the OBS recording also has an echo. Is there a way for me to record the student participation and eliminate their echoes? IOW is there a way for me to create a scene where OBS can record (and share on Zoom) the sound coming into the computer, and only allow the mic's output without the desktop audio?

[@TheRealityTwister]

This is great both I have a question. I have my mic coming in as a source and a loopback channel that plays music, etc etc. Now I setup a 2nd channel for my OBS output going to zoom. The issue is in my AirPods I not hear my voice double :(. Please help.

[@zal_lucifXR]

Yes sir works I wanna troll my zoom class tmr

[@mukisajohnmary]

Big problem with this kind of route is that you cant hear/ monitor yourself in the case where I am playing my midi keyboard and sending it out to zoom, i cant hear what am playing because i have designated the monitor to the virtual cable

[@karenoldenburg9389]

Thank you so much. s all the people here say it is the best explanation. Now it is 2 years later. I try to send also the Sound from a video to Zoom, but doesn't work. It is noch clear if media source is sufficient and the only thing I had to add or if I have to add something like desktop audio (which does not longer exist in den ops version 30.1.1

[@signsoflifesa4285]

Question - I normally have several scenes in an OBS run class. Do I have to add the microphone to every scene as you described? You only had one scene in OBS. Also, are there any MIDI or System Preference settings that need to be changed on a Mac? Thanks for a very informative video!

[@BreggyFolk]

Guess you've solved it long ago, but here's how it works: you create a separate scene with all your audio devices ONLY, and then copy that into all other scenes as a "nested" scene. That way you only have to set up your audio in one place.

[@mrnevinmathews]

thank you so much

[@waichow3658]

Hi, I am wondering whether the Audio Monito plugin of OBS will help? Is it better than virtual cables? Thank you

[@leevfx]

Thanks for this Jamie - I want to be able to play music/my desktop audio into zoom as well as my mic. I have tried to do this (by setting the desktop audio device in OBS) but I am getting a doubling of the desktop audio and it will also dip the music when someone in zoom speaks. I have original audio turned on. Do you know what I might be doing wrong? I am using a Windows machine so there may be differences in how Macs handle the audio routing.

[@JamieBGall]

Hi Lee, Hmm. First thing I wonder is if the doubling is for you or if people in zoom are hearing it too. If its also going into zoom then a) check that you've not checked "share computer sound" in the screenshare mode and b) that your mic isn't picking up the music and giving you an echo of your own music. oe c) that you're not sending the audio into your virtual mic from two different places (When I've had double sound its when OBS is sending to blackhole AND Ecamm is also sending to blackhole and Zoom receives double audio.

[@SuzanneFStevens]

thanks so much! Very helpful. Now I just need to figure out how to get my ppt sound to obs, to go to zoom. I will see if you have answer to that too.

[@RumourHasitYT]

I’ve followed your advice but getting horrendous feedback when selecting monitor and output. I have the monitoring device set to the virtual cable. I might add I’m using a Mac. Can you advise how to fix this ?

[@LimLim-xg6vc]

Hi, I have my mic setup on my webcam scene in obs following your tutorial. But the problem came when I switch to my pause scene (which no mic setup there because i want my mic to be off on this scene), zoom is keep listening to my mic because seems like the monitor and output function in obs make the mic sound is always sent to the blackhole virtual mic, no matter what scene is currently active in obs, still very confusing

[@erandalaximal4530]

Thank you

[@manavai9159]

THANK.YOU!

[@boazbenny7593]

Hi.. Jamie I had follow you video tutorial , everything work fine. ONLY 1 thing issue, I can't solve was how to I can listen back voice that had broadcast to the meeting, Because I had add filter reverb in the broadcasting Mic. In my headphone I only heard my original sound without effect which I had added.

[@ankurc]

thank you

[@ConsecDesign]

bruh, thx so much.

[@RobertYourell]

If I'm understanding this, these instructions are **not** for also getting the Zoom output back into OBS if you want to record the session in OBS. For that, you get the VB-Cable A+B version and add the steps of having Zoom send the sound and OBS pick it up. This way, participants will also be recorded by OBS. This is one of the vids that covers that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kF6qn4KQncaLis0

[@johnsen8504]

lol 1000th sub gongrats

[@louisvuitton2193]

Thanks your fantastic video demonstration. I hope you could resolve my problem encountered in OBS NDI. I had installed (i) OBS, (ii) obs-ndi NewTek (windows installer version) and (iii) NDI virtual input (received email for installation) into my Lenovo notebook x1 Gen 6. However, I selected the NDI Output Settings to OBS, the system tray for OBS virtual camera was not able to show OBS output, it showed remote computer only. Therefore, there was no audio input (i.e. Microphone) sound output from OBS to Zoom meeting. Many thanks.

[@dirish97]

So my issue is if you use the Virtual cable output under OBS Settings-Audio-Monitoring so that your guests can hear everything happening on the stream, I can no longer hear anything as their is only 1 Audio output in OBS. any solutions to this? I use Airpods and a blue Yeti Mic. I can have the sound come through my computer but not my airpods

[@PaulAnabellaLewin]

Thank you, got audio from OBS to Zoom. Now I don´t have audio to hear it on my laptop and I selected the virtual cable for monitoring device. Any way to get audio also in my speakers? Thank you
