1. How to connect Zoom and
OBS the right way!

4. Overview for Zoom to OBS
Connecting OBS to Zoom allows you to
send high-quality video production into
your Zoom meetings. This is a great way
to live stream Zoom Meetings and make
recordings that have extra production
functionality features available in Open
Broadcaster Software.

5. Steps to connect Zoom and OBS
Here are the steps for this project:
■ Step 1 – Install VirtualCam for OBS
■ Step 2 – Install Virtual Audio Cables A + B
■ Step 3 – Setup Your Virtual Camera in Zoom
■ Step 4 – Setup Your Virtual Audio Cables in Zoom & OBS
■ Step 5 – Test and configure all of your settings!

6. Step 1 - Install VirtualCam for OBS
The VirtualCam for OBS can be found
here. This plugin is supported for Windows
and can be downloaded and used with
your Windows OBS system. Go ahead and
download the VirtualCam plugin for OBS in
order to take the output of OBS and send it
to other programs using a virtual webcam
driver. Once installed this plugin will show
up inside of Zoom as a selectable webcam.
Select the OBSCam option for the webcam
and all of the video you set up in OBS will
come through to Zoom

7. Step 2 - Install Virtual Audio Cables A + B
One virtual audio cable will be used as your
microphone input into Zoom and one virtual audio
cable will be used for your speaker output from
Zoom. Take a look at the wiring diagram about to
see how these virtual audio cables are routed.
Virtual audio cables need to be selected inside of
your Zoom settings as your microphone and
speaker. Then you also have to bring these virtual
audio cables into OBS and route the audio inside of
the advanced audio settings. You also need to use
one of your audio cables as the monitor output
selection inside of OBS.

8. Step 2 - Install Virtual Audio Cables A + B
You can install virtual audio
cables on to your Windows
computer by getting the drivers
here. Virtual audio cables are a
very useful tool for video and
audio production in many ways.
You will need two of these virtual
audio cables for this project.

9. Step 3 - Setup Your Virtual Camera in Zoom
Inside of OBS you can go to the Tools
drop-down menu and open up VirtualCam.
You will need to click the start button and
select the virtual webcam driver you would
like to output video with. Once you have
clicked the start button anything you have
in the output of OBS will be sent to any
application using the virtual webcam
driver. Select the virtual webcam driver
inside of Zoom and turn the video button
on.

10. Step 4 – Setup Your Virtual Audio Cables in
Zoom & OBS
This is probably this most complicated part of
connecting Zoom with OBS. First make sure you
have installed two unique A and B virtual audio cable
drivers on to your computer. It’s helpful to draw out
exactly how they will connect via Zoom and OBS. In
Zoom, select one virtual audio cable for your
microphone and one for your speaker. In OBS, add
both virtual audio cables into your audio system in
the audio settings area. Then go to the advanced
audio settings and monitor the audio input so that
you can send audio back to Zoom.

11. Step 5 – Test and configure all of your
settings!
Once you have followed these steps
you will have successfully connected
Zoom with OBS for full audio and
video use without a feedback loop.
You can get a feedback loop if you do
not have your virtual audio cables
routed properly. Hopefully, the video
tutorial is detailed enough to walk you
through this setup.
