How to capture system sounds (global sound)

Contents

When System Sound is selected as an input device, ManyCam captures all sounds produced by your system, including all applications, and then channels them to ManyCam Virtual Microphone.

Windows

Select System Sound as an Audio Source. To do so:

1. Run ManyCam, navigate to ManyCam Scenes tab.
2. Add System sound in the list of Audio sources.
To do this, click on ‘+’ sign next to Audio Sources and select System sound.

3. Click on System Sound gear icon to adjust settings.

macOS

On Mac, capturing System Sound is a bit complicated due to macOS limitations. We suggest using the app called Soundflower (download here). It was designed to address this particular issue. Please also refer to this tutorial to set up Soundflower properly.

Once you selected Soundflower as an input device, select it in ManyCam’s Audio settings as a microphone and you’re good to go.
