Can you separate the audio from video when using a webcam, such as for online meetings or live streaming, and use the separate audio track independently of the video feed?

Webcams typically capture audio and video as a single feed, known as a "stereo mix."

OBS Studio, a popular streaming software, allows for separate audio tracks.

To separate audio in OBS Studio, you must enable "Advanced Output Mode" in the Output settings.

In the Recording tab, enable the desired number of audio tracks.

Assign audio sources to separate tracks in the Audio Mixer within OBS Studio.

OBS Studio's nested scenes feature simplifies incorporating separate audio sources into multiple scenes.

Voicemeeter, an application, can be used as an alternative to separate audio in OBS Studio, without requiring multiple tracks.

When using Voicemeeter, assign audio sources such as game mic, music, and voice chat to separate outputs.

Ensure proper configuration of audio interfaces in Voicemeeter to capture audio separately.

Tools like RiversideFM, OBS Ninja, or XSplit offer browser-based methods for separate audio and video feeds, without requiring software installation.
