I have noticed that webcam-streaming with OBS as middleware works great (taskbar freezes after 10 minutes with other methods) but it does not send any audio. Can we get a toggle for that? Should be simple.
We’re working on a fix for this:
If that issue is fixed I don’t see a need for this feature. On the other hand we’re exploring ways to implement audio only streaming. Meaning that you can decide which sound to share without having an active video stream.
Dear Leon,
While I understand that a traditional, physical webcam typically doesn’t require separate application audio routing, the reality in the TeamSpeak 6 Beta is very different for many users.
Many of us are relying on tools like OBS Studio and the OBS Virtual Camera as a crucial technical workaround. Currently, the native TS6 application/screen capture has noticeable stuttering and pacing issues for viewers. Routing the game capture through OBS and feeding it into TeamSpeak via the Virtual Camera completely eliminates this stuttering, delivering a flawless, smooth video feed.
Furthermore, using OBS offers massive benefits beyond just performance. It allows us to build customized layouts, switch between different scenes, and integrate useful on-screen overlays (like alerts, webcams, or chat boxes) directly into the stream, which drastically improves the viewing experience for everyone in the channel.
However, since selecting a virtual camera source completely strips away the ability to transmit sound, we urgently need the flexibility to attach or bind an independent application audio source to a virtual camera layout. Without this feature, we are forced into messy dual-client setups or virtual audio cable routing just to get both smooth gameplay footage and game sound to our friends.
Please consider that virtual cameras are not just used for showing faces—they are a powerful tool for high-performance screen sharing, scene layouts, and custom overlays.
Thank you!

P.S. This is standard in Discord btw!
Are there plans to add an audio device picker when sharing a video device? This would be very useful for screensharing console games via a capture card with game audio, or even sharing OBS’ virtual camera with a virtual audio cable.
Do you mean allowing the multi-app capture to also work when streaming a camera?
Not quite. I’d like to be able to select an audio device to go along with the camera feed. For reference, Discord has a similar feature which you can see here:
As you can see when sharing a video device through the screensharing feature I can select an audio device to be used alongside the stream, which is separate to the audio input device being used for regular VoIP. This allows me to, for example, share the video and audio from a games console hooked up to my capture card.
By comparison on TeamSpeak right now it’s not possible to capture any audio when selecting a video device:
Being able to mix in audio from other applications would be a nice bonus to have alongside this, though.
I’ve been waiting for this feature as well. My main goal is to route my OBS Virtual Camera feed into TeamSpeak and pair it with a specific audio device. OBS simply has too many advantages to ignore, like adding overlays or managing different scenes.
Another major reason this is needed: performance. When using the native TS screen capture, my viewers consistently experience frame drops (which is definitely not a bandwidth issue). However, routing the video through the OBS Virtual Camera feed works flawlessly without a single drop in TeamSpeak! Being able to properly route audio to match this smooth video feed would be fantastic
I have the same setup, using the same hardware and yes not being able to select an audio input that go with my capture card because it’s under the “camera” tab is really bad and a deal breaker for me.
Maybe this should be its own topic and not just a post under the multi app audio picker topic.
But I second @DerpyChap please the TeamSpeak team you need to fix this.
