Troubleshooting Video - • NEW! How to Connect OB...
THE NEW BEST WAY
Connect Your Webcam with the Virtual Video Camera
Connect your Microphones from OBS to Zoom
Connect the Zoom audio output in OBS
This is ideal for recording and streaming the content
Use new Audio Monitor Plugin - obsproject.com/forum/resource...
This plugin allows you to choose each audio output you want to send to Zoom individually. This way you can still use your monitor output for your headphones.
First of all, why would you want to connect OBS and Zoom? By connecting OBS to Zoom with video you can use the virtual webcam feature of OBS to power Zoom. In this way, your webcam source in Zoom can have all kinds of awesome video sources that you can manage in OBS. You can use this to use lower thirds, show overlays, mix together multiple sources, display countdown timers and much more. The only limitation is your creativity.
Next, why would you want to connect your Zoom audio through OBS? First of all, in OBS you can enhance your audio with VST2 plugins and you can mix together multiple sources of audio and output that into Zoom. Want to play a video clip and have everyone see it in Zoom? Sure you could use the Screen Share feature, but it’s much cleaner to manage everything in Zoom. Want to record and stream your Zoom conference on KZbin and Facebook using OBS. Well you are going to need the audio from your Zoom guests into OBS to do that properly.
So, the easiest way to get started is to start with video. You can bring your webcam into OBS and then output into Zoom using the “Virtual Webcam” option. This button is in the right hand corner by default right below start recording and streaming. Next, in Zoom you can select “OBS Camera” as your webcam in Zoom. Now everything you see have in the output screen on OBS will show up your webcam source in Zoom. Easy right?

Thanks for this, HUGE help. This is big time for us professional audio guys getting into the stream space. I was almost impossible to get audio out of things like Pro Tools. This feature with the new Pro Tools updates is game changing

[@gregoryjwellls]

Thanks for this video and all the effort to communicate how to get this set up but for some reason, I couldn't get this to work without getting a feedback problem. I finally resolved this with the following setup. Maybe this can help some other similarly dimwitted people like me. First of all, I purchased and installed the A Cable and B Cable per your instructions I also installed the audio monitor 0.6.1 for OBS on Windows 1) in Zoom on my primary PC, I hosted a meeting 2) On an ipad (I also could have used a phone) I joined that meeting so I could test my results since the challenge is to get both my voice and the audio portion of a video to be audible to Zoom participants. ( Plugging in earbuds to this test device can help prevent artificial feedback loops) 3) In the primary Zoom session, on the audio popup (the up arrow by the mute/microphone icon in the lower left), select Cable A for the microphone and Cable B for the speaker 4) In the primary Zoom session, on the video popup (the up arrow by the vide icon in the lower left), select OBS virtual camera 5) open OBS 6) create a new scene by pressing the + in the lower left 7) add a new source for Mic/Aux, select your preferred microphone as the input. Next add an audio monitor filter for this source with the device set to Cable A 8) add a new media source as any local video file that also includes audio, add an audio filter and set the device to Cable B 9) right click on the Audio Mixer header and select Audio monitor if it's not already checked 10) Set the audio output slider in the Audio Monitor in the middle of the range 11) This is the basic configuration that worked for me

[@outofsite_chi9847]

This is fabulous and you mentioned you can then stream to FB or youtube. Would you recommend connecting the streaming connection from zoom to (in our case) twitch or OBS to twitch? For our purposes we are going to twitch for a night of live performance.

[@lgf30022]

Just what I needed to understand. Thank you. One more item to consider. I also have a Blackmagic ATEM mini pro. I want to add that into this flow as well. I think the audio plugin and virtual audio cables will make this work.

[@JorgeSilvestrini]

Hey Lee, couldn't you do everything inside of the ATEM mini pro and then send that output to Zoom? I'd probably want to use 1 switcher, in this case the hardware, so think like a couple of cameras to Atem, audio to Atem, OBS or ProP to Atem for graphics, lower 3rds, etc and then the output of Atem to zoom...

[@lgf30022]

@@JorgeSilvestrini always a possibility. The ATEM can be a HW encoder/streaming engine too. So that offloads computer. Lots of cool possibilities! Still in learning mode but working out my workflow.

Thanks! I just needed one cable and it worked great. Appreciate the tutorial.

[@StreamGeeks]

[@brucequinnplayground2114]

It seems like OBS could simply have a dedicated simple audio virtual output. In zoom, you would select obs (virtual) camera and obs (virtual output) audio. It would be a 15 second tutorial instead of 9 minutes. I agree, OBS gives you things you can’t do directly in zoom, like the compressor filter for audio, or the option inside the audio menu to delay the audio by 100 or 200 ms so that it sinks better with the video channel.

Great video. How do you recommend you getting the zoom audio to people sitting in a "audio setting". I could use a monitor out to a speaker, but that would create an echo. Any suggestions on in-ear wireless monitoring?

[@honzacaf]

Hi, I would like to know too. I am having issues with bringing the zoom into the room.

[@TheDannyVegaShow]

@StreamGeeks amazing content. You definitely got a subscription from me. I love the way you broke this down as simplistic as possible. However I do have a question lol I see in your description there's a different program that you recommended for Mac. Now I am super green at this so if you can explain how that program works with a reply or a quick video that would be awesome!

[@TheDannyVegaShow]

Also I saw other youtubers say use NDI instead. Is there a big difference between NDI and The AB Virtual Cables?

[@btechstuff]

[@JudahKibalama]

Brilliant Video!! Gna try that out but when I capture screen display will the subjects be still or moving in real time..i know silly question

[@neilbird8496]

Hi Paul, Thanks for the update above. This method seems to require you to add the new 'monitor output' filter to EVERY sound you have on OBS you want to send to Zoom. Seems a lot of work AND I've got so many sounds/jingles/music I want to send to Zoom but also I wouldn't want the monitor output filter to interfere when I am not sending to Zoom. Can't we just send over mic AND 'system sounds' together? Thanks

[@englishwhynot]

Hi Neil Bird. Interesting question. Things have moved on in a year and now we're on version 29 of OBS. Did you get a reply to your question?

[@jasonlobell1340]

been using NDI virtual input for this workflow for my company for the last 9 months. Have you found a drastic difference in quality between NDI and the OBS Virtual Cam?

[@TedLester]

Great video! Just bought the virtual cables, and I have a couple of questions: 1. The Default Virtual Cable sample rate and bit depths are: Cable A & B Playback Input: 2 Ch, 24 bit, 48000 Hz Cable A & B Recording Output 2 Ch, 24 bit, 44100 Hz (Studio Quality) Should I change this in Windows Sound to the 16 bit, 48000 Hz settings that I use for gear associated with Zoom and OBS? 2. Have you found any way to take advantage of Zoom's enabling background images for people who don't have green screens? This process happens downstream of other software I route my webcam's video through, like Logitech Capture, and I would like to use it with OBS once your connections are enabled. Or does OBS have a similar plug-in to provide this capability?

[@satyabrataparida5421]

Every video I watch leaves out a dozen steps. I am absolutely frustrated. I would love a video on how to set up a guest interview with the ability to both watch a video and react to it all while recording it, without looping or double recording. But so far you guys are the most helpful.

[@GaryWold]

I've been using OBS for a year or so. Zoom yer YEARS. I Use VoiceMeeter Banana for my audio. I'm happy to see the new audio plugin. I'll give that a try. We have live zoom meetings where we review lots of text and web pages where the viewers listen and follow along. We present from computer "A" send NDI screen capture 2560x1440 to Computer "B," which runs OBS and hosts the Zoom meeting using the OBS Virtual Camera plugin as the Zoom input. Zoom screen sharing directly from Zoom has always looked pretty good, but now that I use OBS with the virtual camera plugin, guests in the live Zoom meeting have complained. The zoom recording used to look good at 1080. Now zoom only records 360. Thankfully I started recording in OBS and zoom, so I have the full-res recording from OBS. Is there a way to make Zoom see the OBS output (2560x1440 full screen) as a document camera? This is really needed. Many Thanks!

[@truthtv3156]

Thanks for the videos. Can you sow in a video how to connect OBS sound with Behringer audio mixer? To be able to monitor sound and send to Zoom as well as KZbin/Facebook.

[@linepoto]

I have Yorkville mixer. and this is what i did, do not need vb cables or ndi 1, connect your mixer to your laptop, 2, on lap top select usb codec as your virtual input out put. 3 , on OBS, set codec usb as ur audio in and out. 4, on zoom mic should be codec usb. crystal clear sound.

[@GodsFamilyChurchWinnipeg]

Thank you for this video. I'm just curious about this question. Singing together with people/team is presently bad with ZOOM when 2 or more people are unmuted because of audio lag or delay, is there any video conferencing software that solves this problem.

[@seungsoojun4219]

Thank you for the information. I have one question. I'm trying to bring the feed from zoom, process it through OBS, and then stream it live FB. But what happens to the people in the zoom group? If A from the zoom is speaking, and we process it through OBS... one output will go to FB live and the other should feedback to zoom. Wouldn't that create feedback? Does it mean all the zoom participants need to use a headphone?

[@iralee1957]

[@alnoormeralli]

I've been waiting for such a video to come out demonstrating this new plug-in. I have been taking a similar approach in OBS to get my audio to Zoom/Meet by way of Settings> Audio> Advanced> Monitoring Device=VirtualCableInput, and then setting individual audio sources under Advance Audio Properties to "Monitor and Output" to aggregate the audio. The plug-in feels like less of a workaround than my approach. As an aside, I have tried the NDI approach instead of virtual cables, but it did not work for me. The audio quality and signal strength dropped too much. Gave up after hours of troubleshooting.

[@StreamGeeks]

Yes, I agree on the NDI side of it. Why use the network when everything is already on the same computer. This new plugin really makes the solution ideal.

Thank you very much. Which microphone (voice of the host) is Zoom using? is there a separate microphone input in OBS that feed to Zoom

[@JorgeSilvestrini]

Hey Samson, this is why he setup the virtual audio cable. Zoom is getting the microphones from virtual audio cable 1 via OBS. And then the second virtual audio cable is sending the audio from Zoom back to OBS.

[@drewbsn]

for me on 21.0.1 on mac I had to do it a bit differently I think to get OBS audio to feed to zoom - in OBS click the settings wheel next to an audio device, advanced audio, set to monitor or monitor/output (turn on monitor, I didn't have a filter option to do this.) Then in general obs settings at the bottom right of the whole obs window, audio tab, advanced - monitor device set to VB-cable.

As an FYI for folks, if you want to be able to control source volume in OBS, you need to check the radio button labeled "Volume linked to source volume," and select "Linked to source muting" in the "Mute" selection. ‎ Having said that, I'm having an issue where the video I'm playing on KZbin (or any desktop audio) seems to be bypassing this entirely, and I can't seem to mute or control the volume. I can control my microphone's volume though.

many thanks for this tutorial, the monitoring and output function was already exist in advanced proprieties inside avery single audio source and you can enable and connect to loopback or virtual cable, are there any differences with this setup? I think it's the same thingh in terms of latency or routing, correct me if I'm wrong

[@StreamGeeks]

One major difference is the audio delay feature someone mentioned. Also, using the audio monitor output does not work with audio delay. So this should work with audio delay when needed. But also, you can still use OBS with your normal audio monitoring and just select a few sources to send back to Zoom

[@fpdrum]

how do you stop your mic echoing back into your speakers? is it as simple as turning off monitor and output?

It does really Sound very much less complicated now. Just one question though. I quite followed through with routing audio/video to Zoom and back to OBS. How do you monitor/hear the sound coming back into OBS on your computer speaker or on an external speaker connected to the PC? Will that automatically go to the speakers or is there an additional setting in OBS? FYI I am using Bose T4S as my sound card/audio source [into OBS] for all my audio - dj controller and mics.

[@titiwz77]

Add another audio monitor filter to the audio input source in your OBS which is capturing the audio from zoom..

Struggling a bit. Trying to play a video/audio clip to Zoom. OBS plays the video fine but not the sound. You say select the Cable in "Filters" but if I click on the [Audio Mixer] setting button for the relevant clip, and select [Filters] I get a three part screen with a box for [Audio/Video Filters] on the left, a box for [Effects Filters] below that and a large grey panel totally blank (not like you show) on the right. What I think I have to do, by experiment, is go into [Advanced Audio Properties ]and turn [Audio Monitoring] on as well. I think that is right, but I couldn't see that being done in your video?
