“Disable Windows Audio Ducking” and click OK or Apply below. Set your “Monitoring Device” to “CABLE Input (VB-Audio Virtual Cable)” as pictured. Click to view “Audio” and scroll down to advanced. View the File menu at the top left and select settings. After you download and install all three tools, restart your computer and open OBS. First download the three tools mentioned above. To use these tools together there are a few key settings to address.

There is no delay as when you start screen sharing and call out at the top that someone is sharing their screen – folks may not even notice it’s not live. Video is sent to the webcam feed and the audio runs through the voice audio feed in Zoom. These 3 tools together allow us to queue and play videos with more control and stability. There are 2 applications and one add-on needed to stream video with audio: OBS to host the video, the OBS Virtual Camera add-on (allows Zoom and other services to receive the video feed from OBS), and Virtual Audio Cable (to share audio). OBS is free to download and is available for use with Windows, Mac or Linux. The video sends directly through your video feed in Zoom, simply spotlight and everyone sees the video. OBS can offer more control of what shows on screen when sharing content, no more messy screen sharing with video controls on screen or having to outline a portion of your screen. Thanks to contributing author, Erik Pumphrey, for his research and expertise. If you plan on playing multiple videos for your Zoom Meeting or Webinar or desire a smoother playback without skipping and stuttering, this is a great tool to use for seamless content and tighter transitions. OBS stands for Open Broadcasting Software and is an open source video streaming tool.
