In this post, we provide the most suitable solutions to the issue of USB microphone not working on Windows 11/10.
Hopefully this has elucidated why I've asked the questions I've asked, and, perhaps, you can clue me in on exactly how you're currently set up and the goals/purposes/ends this setup achieves that mine might not.As a PC gamer or regular user, on your Windows 11 or Windows 10 computer, you may encounter microphone-related issues like Discord Mic not working, Microphone not plugged in, Zoom Microphone not working, Skype Audio or Microphone not working and so on. The other problem I have is that there is no way for me to see what my co-host is up to, which might be helpful if he has a last-minute bit of content to share, or just to make sure we're on the literal "same page". I'm sure you can understand why I find this work-around untenable long-term. Right now our work-around is to just use a Google Doc, email videos and links, and basically have a "code"/"signal" to sync up when my co-host brings up the content on his screen. Obviously, just having a separate screen with the final stream is worthless, because - even with very low latency settings - the stream itself will be WAY behind the behind-the-scenes real-time recording. Zoom has a share-screen option, but running Zoom and Rendezvous at the same time would be both super bandwidth and process heavy, and would certainly result in weird anomalies (echo possible problems with using the same video input for two different programs at the same time possible feedback loop problems etc.). The final aesthetic of the actual stream in real-time. Unfortunately, there does not appear to be a way to "share screen" via Rendezvous so my co-host can actually see 1. The main scene is just the two of us, and the secondary scene allows us to bring in content to comment on (news articles, soundbites, pictures, tweets, videos, etc.). We do a live Q + A with our viewers by reading the questions they post in the comments section of our stream.
We have a broadcast interface with various scenes that looks smooth and professional to our viewers, and isn't just blank black backgrounds (otherwise we'd just stream directly via Zoom). I run a small podcast with (right now) a single co-host. I guess let's just leave it at that for now, but allow me to tell you why I've asked these questions: Is this little more than a way to circumvent Rendezvous' inability to "share screen"? Are you bringing participants into the Wirecast UI via Zoom (as opposed to via Rendezvous)?Ĥ. Is the idea to allow Zoom users to see the on-screen content of a Wirecast broadcast via Zoom?ģ. First off, are you live streaming any of this?Ģ.
Allow me to pry, because I think your setup might be heading in the direction of resolving some issues I've been having.ġ. I'm not sure I understand Mike Flanagan's general setup/goals. It would have saved me about 20 hours if this was available when I needed it. LAST STEP is on the stream screen in zoom, on the upper left will be a drop down menu and you want to select (Allow option for original sound) When you are streaming in Zoom, make sure you select the Wirecast Virtual Microphone as well as the Virtual Camera. Make sure the Wirecast Virtual Microphone is selected under Microphone sectionĬheck the enable stereo box AND Allow option for using original sound from microphone in meeting Open the application and select SETTINGS in the upper right side. You must log out of zoom, and log back in. Select both (Allow users to select audio in their client settings) & (Allow users to select original sound in their client settings) so they turn blue. UNDER ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT ON THE LEFT you will need to do the EXACT same thing as above. Scroll down to where it says InMeeting Advanced and make sure (Allow users to select audio in their client settings) & (Allow users to select original sound in their client settings) are both highlighted BLUE. Then you want to head over to the Zoom website.ĬLICK MY ACCOUNT then on the LEFT side go to MyMeeting Settings Then select START in the virtual camera out. Once wirecast is open you want to go to the virtual camera out and select HD720p (or desired canvas size) and also make sure the Virtual Microphone is checked. I had a great deal of difficulty getting the audio to work with a media file but after nearly 3 days and 9 phone calls/15 emails, I finally fixed my problems and wanted to share with you some steps to successful audio in Zoom.įirst, you want to open wirecast before doing anything with Zoom. I recently was tasked with streaming from wirecast to Zoom by a client for some online webinars.
