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 TH-cam 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
I love watching your vids. I get lots of ideas from them. But I use linux so often I have to do a lot of translating to make them work. Thanks for all the cool ideas.
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
I was doing everything in the book to try and get zoom to take a mic input. Make sure you check your windows mic privacy settings. Fixed my issues after uninstalling everything then reinstalling
New stuff for OBS? Love it.
Thanks! I just needed one cable and it worked great. Appreciate the tutorial.
Great to hear!
I have been waiting for this! I will give it a test this week for my Zumba classes on zoom/youtube!
Great to hear!
Thank you so much for your very helpful video! Wishing you all the best!
Thank you! You too!
Daghang salamat Paul! I SUPER need this for my online classes!
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.
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...
@@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.
@@lgf30022 I totally love the ATEM mini pro and they JUST released a new version if I'm not mistaken. Lots and lots of possibilities. Congrats on your choice!
This is the best video I've watched in a long time. Thank you for helping with this issue.
Thanks for checking out our content!
Awesome video. I managed to send audio with Virtual Cable directly to Zoom before. But definitely will try it like you did. Thanks.
Great to hear. Thanks for checking out our channel!
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.
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.
Thanks Paul very useful information. For the window capture part though, in my head I am seeing a tunnel. So session recording would have to be done from zoom.
Same issue
Thank you for this content. SUBBED!
Really appreciate the construct diagram
Excellent walk through. Great stuff man.. thank you! 👌🏽😏
Glad it was helpful!
That's really cool! I wonder do I need to setup the audio as you described when I'm using a mixer with couple mics (mixer connection is USB). Thanks again
Excellent and super helpful video guys. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Smooth very informative and great full. Keep up the good work And yes I have subscribed to your channel.
Awesome, thank you!
Thank You Sir!! I am going to try and get this going! I am going to try and use this for our upcoming Teacher of the Year event sense we are going to do it virtual!! Don't worry I subscribed as well.. ;)
Thank you. This really helped me!
Glad it helped!
Thank you guys! Really helped!
Our pleasure!
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.
A great thanks to you. This video helped me to resolve the challange.
Always great content, especially on NDI and Zoom. Thank you. One question though, what in-ear system do you use? Thank you again!
We are using a system called VocoPro
Great tips! Thank you
You bet, thanks for checking out our content!
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?
Hi Paul. Thank you for this great information. I'm having trouble with my OBS 2 seeing "Calbe B" as an option for Desktop Audio. I only have Default, Soundflower 2 ch and Soundflower 64 ch. It is an option in my Aux audio though. thank you for any help
Wow thanks for the new way and super easy obs-zoom connect. Keep it up, new friend here👍
Thank you!
How did you get the cool looking circle countdown?
Thanksssss man!!! This was very helpful!!
Glad to hear it!
This was great. I can’t wait to try it.
Awesome, I hope this works for you Erica. Let us know if you have any questions.
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.
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?
Thanks for the video. Can this be applied to jitsi?
Great video and training.
Can one use Stream Deck to set-up the correct OBS and ZOOM settings at the push of a button?
Great video. Do you have a video on setting up an in-ear monitor through OBS?
Thanks for your reply. Will this allow for the desktop audio, such a music source or sound effects to be routed to zoom as well?
Hello, thank you for this video. How would this work if I'm using an audio mixer in my OBS and Zoom set up for a church stream?
Hi, good video.
What is the best way of doing this using one cable?
Also, when I send video from OBS to Zoom via the virtual camera the quality of the video really decreases hugely, is there any way to sort this issue out?
Thanks again
I'm unclear on whether Zoom will record the OBS inputs when I choose to record my Zoom meeting. Will the recording include everything just as the original audience saw it, including the audio?
very powerful presentation, I am up and running soon after following your vid
Great to hear, thanks for checking out our content!
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
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?
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
Superb. Do you have a solution to suppress echoes when using a sound control for an amphitheater? Indeed, I speak into microphones so that I can be heard in a lecture hall and I retransmit the sound through a scarlett to usb via OBS. But I also take the sound of zoom speakers that I plug into the sound control in order to hear them in the amphiteater... at a minimum, the speakers hear himself in echoes, and sometimes there is some larsen... Can we manage through virtual Cable Thank you.
Thanks for the video. I've been using OBS, VoiceMeeter Banana and Virtual A-B cables to broadcast to Zoom with much complication. I want to eliminate VoiceMeeter and only use this new Audio Routing Plugin because it looks much easier. What's the best way to accomplish this?
I am trying to do similar audio rerouting in Zoom/OBS over a remote desktop connection, but I don't seem to find the virtual audio cable for monitoring the audio. Any thoughts?
Amazing stuff thank you
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?
Please tell me how to set the OBS and Zoom after I use the X32 mixer monitor output to connect to the atem mini. Thanks!
Awesome video, thank you! Where can i find the print out?
@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!
Also I saw other youtubers say use NDI instead. Is there a big difference between NDI and The AB Virtual Cables?
That saved my day! Thank you so much!
Glad it helped!
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.
How do you connect an analog audio mixer into this setup? Line in and line out?
Your video saved me bro thanks so much
No problem 👍
how do you stop your mic echoing back into your speakers? is it as simple as turning off monitor and output?
When adding the Audio Monitor filter on a mic that I want to send to Zoom, where should I place the filter in the processing chain? At the top or the bottom? Guessing at the bottom after all noise gate/eq/compressor/gain job is done right? Can't find that answer anywhere!! Thanks and great vids!
Thanks so much for this video!! I went through all of the steps and it's working great in zoom. Unfortunately I can't figure out how to monitor the audio I'm sending to zoom. I have total silence on my computer. What am I doing wrong?
Hi It is a silly question,. My computer would let me open the audio meter plugin. Any idea? Thank you for help
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?
Hi, I would like to know too. I am having issues with bringing the zoom into the room.
Appreciate this! Asking if you can show me how go route the audio to FB live as I'm using the OBS virtual camera there but no sound. Help pls! Thabsk in advanced
Thank you Paul. This has helped us to create good live streams. However, I donated the A+B Cables but failed to download them. How do I go about that? Thx Abunch
Brilliant. Thanks so much. Nikon and USB-mic perfectly in sync for Zoom & Co. Why don't these guys add a function like this to their programs? ;-) In a lot of cases with photo cameras and HDMI the audio simply is FASTER than the image. I had to delay my audio by 250 ms ...
Great video!!!
One question: We have an external USB input device from our sound board. How do I separate that and zoom audio? I am still a noob and need help.
Awesome concise video!
Thank you!
OMG Finally Finally Finally! Thank you man! What a Release! I now need to find a way to connect Wirecast Video to Zoom and I am good! 😂
You can send wirecast virtual camera out from wirecast to zoom..it is not a big deal..
@@LEVITMARKENT i know but, unfortunately, it doesn’t work for me. Starting the transmission doesn’t show up in zoom. It does on obs but on zoom I can only see Wirecast’s audio output but not the video output. I am still searching for a solution since 2 weeks (it’s not a priority but I really need to solve this)
@@Bompa93 Trying using Skype to see if it shows ..I have it working on Skype and zoom
Is it possible to use the NDI virtual Input for the audio to Zoom, and/or camera as we do in vMix?
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!
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 TH-cam (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.
Mine's seems to work on and off, but I'm still figuring it out.
Connect as detailed in video, but then check Audio Mixer in OBS...
Source: Desktop Audio
Filter: Device: Cable-A Input (VB-Audio Cable A)
√ Volume linked to source volume
√ Mute - linked to source muting

Hey I tried this and I cannot get the OBS virtual camera to show up as an option for me in a zoom meeting. What am I doing wrong? Do I need to change a setting or do I need to install a plugin or something?
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.
THIS is the comment I needed to see! Thank you!
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 TH-cam/Facebook.
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.
What is your output connection? Or what is your main software for audio? I'm trying this on my laptop with audio/mic splitter, using boya mic and head but I can't hear anything and my mic doesn't pic up any sounds. Please help
I run the last version of OBS (on a mac) and I have installed VC A + B. However, I cannot select Cable B in the preference/audio/ desktop audio of OBS. (I see cable B in the list of my audio sources elsewhere)
same here, desktop audio is locked as disabled
If I used virtual audio cable to route my audio in and out of Zoom, would I need to select the "Share computer music" or "optimize for video" in Zoom when I am playing music/video?
Thanks Buddy thats awesome
No problem 👍
Great video, thanks.
Glad you liked it!
Great content. Thanks!!!!!
Glad you liked it!
I do the same thing with Google Meet. It's awesome!
need some help. I want the audio to into ops from zoom as well as play out loud into the room speakers. Any advise?
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
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.
Hey I have a question? How do you get VoiceMeter to be the default audio control in Windows? I want to have any audio I play on my computer whether from a Disk, flash drive, media player, external cd player or record player, web browser mix, or any other application's sound output that would go to my desktop audio to first go through VoiceMeter and then on to OBS, then onto ZOOM. I can get sound from Zoom just fine in the way you explain in the tutorial.
Hi, I have implemented what you describe in this video, but I have only one problem; my microphone remains active while I am playing a video. How can I automatically mute my mic when I choose a video player scene? Thanks...
Stuggling to get this to work. I am trying to combine the sound effects I have in OBS with my mic so that when I am in the meeting I can broadcast the sound effects to the room. Any advice....cannot seem to get it to work. I have used VB Cable, also used NDI Audio, and Source-Nexus but nothing seems to work. HELP!
I do not have the audio filter option in obs shown in the steps. Mine is blank. Also when i downloaded the virtual drivers i received the vbcable driver pack43 that i did donate to receive but it does not have the a & b Cables referenced in this video.
What's your recommended system requirements for these?
Is it possible to add a song in OBS itself and have it go through virtual cable while I can hear it aswell from OBS on my speakers?
Hi! What is your microphone on your head? Thanks
Nice mic you are wearing. What kind is it
Does this still not connect through Zoom screen sharing so that you can have the higher quality sound and video that Zoom gives you when you use it or am I missing something?
How can I make that Zoom Window Capture into a media source so the audio monitor filter will be available in the options? Thanks...
thanks DUDE! thats what i need!
Glad I could help!
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.
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.
So basically on your demo you used the paid/with donation version of VA Cable right?
I am using OBS to send our church service out to Zoom and FBLive. I record the service on Zoom and FB. Is there a way to prevent the Zoom audio from the participants from being picked up by the Zoom and FB recordings? I use a separate computer to monitor Zoom so I don't need any audio coming into the church computer other than the churches microphones and music inputs that we use to send the service out.
Thanks for this. One issue I seem to be having is that when I mute an audio source in OBS it's still open in Zoom presumably as the send to Zoom is the monitor feed. Any idea where I might be going wrong?
I have the same issue. Have you found a workaround for this? I end up having to mute Zoom itself (I only use one audio source)
