Connect OBS & Zoom (Virtual Audio Cables + Headphone Monitor)

[@EuJogonoGol]

I have been using virtual cable about 6 months... On last weeks I having some troubles with the output.. The sound arrives in zoom with noises and pop in.. That's not my microphone because when I rec the video in obs is perfect, the audio gets bad when enter in zoom... I reinstalled everything, after one week the problem is back.. I'm truly thinking to change to vmix... What do you think?

[@Slalom_Steve]

For capturing Zoom video, I understand the use of this, and as you said, it's quite simple. For audio, I don't see what the point of all this is, as I achieve the same thing much more simply with: - In OBS, my Mic is an input, and Desktop Audio is an input. - In Zoom, my Mic is the input and my Speakers are the output. - So Zoom functions normally and fine. - And OBS records my mic via the Mic input, and records the Zoom audio output (when other people speak) via the Desktop Audio input. Add the display capture video, I get a complete recording of the meeting within OBS. Why go through all this trouble?

[@evyordanov]

Same. Thanks, Steve! I thought it was just me going insane here listening to this overcomplicated setup. No idea why we should make it this hard. And if you want to monitor stuff, just plug in your headphones instead of your speakers, so people don't hear their own voices because of speaker/microphone feedback loop. And bam! That's all there is to it 🙂

[@KAMBO-pu9nn]

As an example, OBS can add filters to the mic e.g. Noise Suppression, Compressor, Gain and a Limiter.

[@AreYouKenneth]

Because you can use OBS Virtual Camera plugin to add any video (or even video layers over your video, place small squares with videos, images, desktop/app share, filters on your videos, switch scenes, or anything) as Zoom will receive anything OBS sends as a webcam input and it will be shown to everyone. The audio is similar (but harder to configure). OBS receives Zoom's output instead of going directly to the speakers, then your microphone or any audio source you choose can be injected into Zoom as a microphone input. You can even record your Zoom meeting in a variety of formats or stream your Zoom meeting to any other service like KZbin, Facebook, Twitch or any custom server of your choice. You can also add OBS plugins or any third-party piece of software that can do anything. You can do anything you want with whatever you send to or receive from Zoom or any other service.

[@dyoolyoos]

I think this is more for if you want multiple audio sources broadcasted into Zoom. Some audio coming from the same computer may be muted in your mic (to avoid feedback). If just for mic, I just use your setup.

I have watched both videos and it appears there are setting steps missing in the video. For instance, in the audio settings for OBS, your video shows Destop Audio, Desktop Audio 2, LEader Board 2, and Media Source 2. Where did these get set up. My OBS, after following these instructions only has the two desktop audios. The previous video showed setting up Mic Aux and Mic Aux 2. I think I am actually more confused AFTER watching these videos than I am before I started...... I am getting audio thru the speaker, but my microphone is not picking up when I test it in Zoom. What am I missing

Yes, please help us with audio interface. I set my interface (Presonus 96) as output hardware on Voicemeeter. I cannot hear monitoring. I changed output hardware to Realtek headphones and I CAN hear monitoring. (It's a shame I can't use my interface to hear.) Audio INPUT through interface works. (I set 'Audio Input Capture' to interface in OBS. That's good because I can use my quality XLR mic.)

[@thegr8destroyer]

@@andrewbgarland Hey Andrew, yeah i figured out how to use my Presonus Audiobox USB96 with both programs. Both programs can use it simultaneously with no problem. No need for extra software to monitor your levels, OBS does that for you. No need for virtual cables either. Mind you, im talking about PC or Mac, not OS or Android. What works well for me is having 2 monitors. Like that i have OBS in one screen and zoom in the other. It's hard to explain it through text but if you ever want to do a zoom meeting, i can share and show you how mine is set up and maybe it will work for you too. Good luck.

Add your microphone input to OBS in the Audio Settings (see timestamp 10:25; the setting is there under "Mic/Auxiliary Audio"), and then go to the Advanced Audio Properties and select "Monitor and Output" for that device (see timestamp 10:55).

[@RobertShaverOfAustin]

Okay, I'm all in with this. I am now *SUBSCRIBED!* I ordered your book, _Unofficial Guide to OBS._ Now I have some questions. 1. At 4:39 the slide shows that *Start Streaming* is highlighted. Is that relevant for what we are doing? 2. At the same point in the video you say that we are going to start the virtual camera. The slide eludes that I should click the *Studio Mode* in the *Controls* panel. My zoom display switches to two displays, *Preview* and *Program.* Does this mean the _virtual camera_ has started? 3. At 4:44 you direct us to go over to Zoom to select a camera. I find that I have *OBS Camera* and *OBS Virtual Camera.* One displays a gray display, the other displays an OBS symbol plus a camera icon at the bottom with a line through it, I suspect this is a result of my trying to get this working before seeing your video. Any advice? I suspect I can sort this out eventually. In any case, when I attach my camera to the computer the video shows up in zoom. So I think I've previously set that up but it's been so long ago that I don't remember how I did that. I think that's enough questions for now. Thanks for an interesting channel.

Hi, in the previous video, you have added both Cable A and Cable B to the OBS Global Audio Sources. In this video, you only added Cable B. Is this due to the introduction of the Voicemeeter? Thanks

Hi Donald, you only need to use one of these virtual audio cables to bring audio from Zoom into OBS. Some people are not using OBS for audio at all thought. That's only if you need to do recordings via OBS. Otherwise, some people are just using OBS as a way to send video into Zoom which is much easier to set up.

Thank you so much for this. One question I had was how does Zoom pic up the mic as audio cable A output? I'm using the integrated microphone for the laptop. It didn't work for me, until I changed all of the audio settings to "monitor and output". I just didn't understand the magic even though it worked.

[@tyrone2601]

Is there a way to not hear the audio from the microphone itself on the return? I'm using OBS with an ATEM mini and I made this scheme, it worked perfectly, the only problem is that I need to play the return in Bluetooth headphones that are in the ear of the presenters and how it is necessary to activate the ATEM Mini audio monitoring in OBS too, the audio from the microphones comes out on the return too ... the only way I've found to solve so far is by silencing and desilencing the A cable on the voicemeeter, silence when they are talking and desilencing when I'm going to show a video, but it is not very practical. Another problem is that I have no return of their microphone too . Is there any way the Microphones won't come out on the return? Regardless of whether it requires a physical audio table or anything, I just needed to resolve this issue, I couldn't find any way to do that. Thanks !!

[@paulgetchell]

In lieu of using VoiceMeeter as a virtual splitter, I was able to do this through Windows in the Sound Control Panel (Recording). Select CABLE-A Output, and assign your headphones to "listen to this device". If you are using VoiceMeeter it appears that Cable-A is unnecessary. I was able to select VoiceMeeter as my monitoring device in OBS. Regardless of how you're splitting your audio, if you're using OBS in place of your own talking-head in Zoom (like Paul shows in this video), then you can select Cable-A Output as your Zoom microphone. On the other hand, if you're using Zoom Share-Screen to stream OBS, then your Zoom mic settings are irrelevant. Zoom Share-Screen audio will only listen to your default system output, and for whatever reason in my experience, could not be a virtual cable. However you still need to split the audio to locally monitor it.

[@williammusicman]

but my question is, can you utilize the audio filters especially the noise suppression (which is really important) in OBS by doing that?

[@paulgetchell]

I haven't really used any audio filters (though I probably should) but all of the volume controls within OBS work with this setup. Because this setup relies on the OBS "Monitoring Device" output, during a scene change, the audio is able to fade from one scene to another on a streaming channel, but not on the monitor, thus this setup gets a hard audio transition between scenes.

[@waichow3658]

Hi, I am thinking of switch to vMix, if it is a little bit easier. The basic subscription is very affordable, if it has the virtual cable and solve the sending back and forth audio function, I am happy to go for it. Is vMix performs better in this area.

Is there a way to configure Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC), so I can use with my loud speakers with no feedback/echo?

I can hear double audio in voicemeeter when I test "speaker" in zoom. Could not get back to normal until I close the program completely

[@ryangoodcase]

I'm having the same problem

[@castletheperson]

You're getting double audio probably because you enabled "Monitor and Output" or "Monitor Only" for your Desktop Audio 2 (which is the Zoom output from Cable B) in the Advanced Audio Properties in OBS. Don't do that. To fix it, go to the Advanced Audio Properties in OBS (see timestamp 10:56) and switch your Desktop Audio 2 back to "Monitor Off". You don't want your Zoom speaker output going back into your Zoom microphone. You only want to monitor the audio sources in OBS that you want people in Zoom to hear because things that are monitored in OBS are sent to Cable A, which is your microphone input in Zoom. The Cable B output only needs to be heard in VoiceMeeter (for you yourself to be able to hear it) and to your OBS output (for your video recording/stream audience to hear it). If you're not streaming/recording in OBS (such as if you're only using OBS for the Virtual Camera and/or to share your desktop audio), then you don't need Cable B at all. You could just output your Zoom speaker audio to the VoiceMeeter Input or directly to whatever hardware device that you want to listen on.

I set my hardware microphone as the input and the hardware speaker (a TV connected through HDMI in my case) as the output in the software. Then went to OBS and placed the noise cancellation app input (Krisp or Nvidia RTX Microhone as per the software of your choice) and also the output as the Voice Meeter's hardware output (Krisp or Nvidia RTX Microphone as per the software of your choice). It's partially solved as this fixes the noise when it's too loud, but the echo remains and it becomes a very high pitch that only is stopped when it becomes too loud. I was unable to test SoliCall Pro is for enterprises and I was unable to test it.

You should make clear that setting voicemeeter as default needs to happen for both playback and recording.

[@mattconsidine177]

Just went through all the steps again. No luck. "Video is Easy" graphic: - "1" points to Studio Mode, not Camera. For people who aren't familiar this could be misleading if they think the setting referenced is under "Mode". This isn't that big of a deal. Getting the video to work is pretty straightforward - the need for "advanced" settings under video in zoom should be covered so that a window can be captured. Zoom tends to offer up a gray screen. Voicemeeter needs to be default for *both* playback and recording, not just the first window that comes up. The VM graphic is not very legible when enlarged, so hard to read your settings. Identify clicking A1 in upper right to select *WDM* version of your output Items should be renamed for easy of following along. The settings shown in the VM graphic absolutely don't work. *All* of my OBS, Zoom, VM and system sound defaults *appear* to be the same as yours but this doesn't work.

Hey Davide - correct! You'll need the OBS camera for Mac and then something like Soundflower or Loopback to get the audio going from one place to another place.

[@JezNashMusic]

Really helpful - exactly what I needed. Followed the steps to the letter and was up and running straight away. However, I've since found out about NDI which looks like it might also work, with the added benefits of being able to incorporate the a/v from other computers on the network. Have you had experience with NDI?

[@PTZOptics]

NDI is great.

Great video everything is working as it should but I still can't get my chrome browser audio or spotify to come through Zoom what am i doing wrong?

[@user-pe1tq6sn1u]

Hi, what do I need to do to make obs record zoom meeting, but enable mic recording only when I unmute my mic zoom ? (for now I just mute mic on obs so it won't record my mic all the time..) Thank you

[@StreamGeeks]

I think you need to continue to manage the way you mute your microphone in OBS. You could set up a hotkey to mute your microphone in OBS and use the same mute hotkey in Zoom.

[@bulcub]

I see there is quite a bit of lag/latency??

[@djcraigkent]

I have followed all steps and can not get it working do you have a way i can contact you are you on twitter

[@earthangelproductions2779]

I downloaded voice meeter banana .. audio setup is a bit different to the video setup

[@nmraweb]

I'm still trying to understand how the Scenes and Sources are setup in OBS. The cables are fine, but you ultimately need speakers and a mic somewhere, right? What about document sharing? Now, I use a window capture in OBS to throw to Zoom. Is that still good?

[@StreamGeeks]

Yes we would suggest using a video capture to get Zoom into OBS. For document sharing to the Zoom audience you can use the screen share feature

[@nmraweb]

@@StreamGeeks OK, but where do I tell something where the actual camera and mic are? Is that set in a scene? That part is still unclear to me. Although this was a better explanation, and thank you Paul for putting it together.

[@nmraweb]

@@StreamGeeks any updates on my question below?

[@paulmichaelbyronkelly]

How do you hear (monitor) the audio/other speakers in Zoom if it's being sent to a virtual cable?

[@StreamGeeks]

We use in ear monitors that take the output from Zoom.

[@paulmichaelbyronkelly]

@@StreamGeeks I set up Voice Meeter and can hear output, but it is low and distorted.

[@WhiskyLoversSociety]

Interesting topic. I found that if you use obs in zoom and in teams and add media files or media background images the system slows down to a point you cannot use zoom or teams as it completely stop responding and the video feed freezes. Is there a way to fix this?

[@StreamGeeks]

You can make sure to enable your graphics card with OBS which will help a lot. Otherwise, to do this you should be using at least an i5 with an i7 preferred.

[@WhiskyLoversSociety]

@@StreamGeeks I have a i5 laptop. Thanks for the reply.

[@ywamdalarna.sweden]

@@WhiskyLoversSociety The laptop might not have a great graphics card, that may be your weak point :-(

[@WhiskyLoversSociety]

@@ywamdalarna.sweden I think you are right.

Much better than the previous video on this!! The whole idea is to make this and other videos as seamless as possible for audience engagement!! which will lead to more likes, views, subs!

[@StreamGeeks]

Thank you!! We are excited to produce new and improved content this year.

[@TheJason909]

@@StreamGeeks There are a number of comments about the lack of sufficient info on setting up and linking the microphone. I followed your instructions, but my microphone isn't sending any audio into the computer at all. Could you please do a video addressing how microphone setup works through this process ??

Glad it helped!

[@barps]

thanks mate, great video but I cannot get this working so hopefully you can help :) I find music distracting when playing video games so I want for the viewers to hear it but not me. I bought all for A, B, C and D virtual cables. I separated the sound like this, A for the music source (Chrome KZbin free copyright music) - I want this to only be heard by my stream viewers and not me. B - for my main game I play, C for another game and D for another game. I play and stream with OBS Studio all these 3 games. However because in App volume and devices preferences, Master volume is set to Output in the Headphones, I hear all of them including the music - how can I make it so I don't hear the music? Thanks mate :)

[@eldafint]

How do you connect your microphone to CABLE-A OUTPUT?

[@eskuitti]

This is my question too: Where do I select the physical mic (not the virtual one) I'm using in a Zoom meeting? In the video everything seemed to be virtual...

[@neofilm]

Why would you do this? I mean you might have said it but I'm still not clear. Right now I'm using stream yard and I have an Elgato and just got ATEM mini pro. I have used zoom before but it seems like you could just use zoom straight from the camera without using OBS. Are you getting better quality going through OBS 1st or something? Or are you just trying to stream with zoom without paying and capture locally as well? Sorry if this is super novice or you've already answered a in the video I didn't get much sleep Last night lol

[@magicoed]

This method is used to bring voice and music from obs to zoom together

[@ElliotHuff]

I am on mac and zoom will not recognize my obs virtual camera. Can anyone help?

[@StreamGeeks]

Try updating your OBS, because they just updated it. Uninstall and reinstall if necessary. Both OBS and Zoom.

[@SaschaKleiber]

Why would I need to go from OBS to Zoom just to go back? I don't understand...

[@SamsonDurai]

good effort! good that you've taken time and effort to reply to all those comments giving the link to this new video. appreciate it!

thank you for the tutorial. though i dont use the voicemeter, i still learn how to do virtual audio. just need one way audio at the moment.

[@StreamGeeks]

Glad we could help! Check out our new video: Troubleshooting - Audio Loops with OBS and Zoom

[@abnonymous4565]

Men what is voicemeter?

[@saurik]

Trying to use the audio monitor like this doesn't work for long as the audio sync drift is tremendous; you can find lots of discussion about this on the OBS forums :(.

[@StreamGeeks]

This is one reason we do recommend vmix at the end of this video

[@saurik]

@@StreamGeeks Ah ha! I stopped watching once you got to the call-to-action; I wasn't expecting a "post-credits scene" ;P. It is a shame this just doesn't work on OBS (which I didn't feel like you really said, though, and will end up disappointing people: I watched this video to see if you had come up with a solution for the sync drift).

[@adosq]

great tutorial! Is it exist some alternative for MAC?

[@JorgeSilvestrini]

Hey - virtual camera for OBS in Mac and then use something like Loopback for the virtual audio cable. Hope this helps!

[@k2OS]

"video is easy".. and again, I can't seem to grasp this.. I get an infinity view of my camera in OBS/Zoom when setting up video as per your guide as anything OBS shows is sent out to the virtual camera.. which is shown in Zoom.. which is then captured by OBS .. repeat. What kind of sorcery are and anyone else setting this up doing???

[@mattconsidine177]

Turns out you can have two instances of OBS running. So in one I have a scene to feed zoom and in the other it captures a window and the audio from the mic and from the zoom audio output....
