Question 1

How do I add music to my stream?

Accepted Answer

Note: This article refers to our Botisimo 3rd Party Integration layer you can use to add a Music Player to your stream that you and your viewers can add music to via Soundcloud or YouTube (Currently, we’re experiencing issues playing videos from YouTube.)

If you're interested in using other music sources, like Spotify or Pretzel Rocks, on your stream, then you'll want to try bringing in your music using our Virtual Audio Cable workaround. This method allows you to capture all audio sources from your computer, including things like voice chat (Discord).

If you've already setup Virtual Audio Cables and you're looking to use Botisimo instead, please delete the VAC source before using this method.
