Making gameplay videos with great audio can often be very difficult. Presto! Your guests all hear both your voice and your audio add-ons. Set the Loopback device as the output in one app and the input in another to make audio flow directly between the applications.Ĭombine your mic with audio sources like iTunes or QuickTime Player, then select your Loopback device as your source in Skype.
