I really want to go live on Twitch or on YouTube. How do you hear the music like from Spotify in the live stream in the background?

Br

Turn on Spotify

Dr

For sure?

Ay

I made a test video on YouTube and ran Spotify. But you don't hear anything. Do you have to have a loudspeaker on? Not really, right?

Br

So it always works for me. Spotify is part of your normal desktop sound so you should hear it, depending on how loud you are, like everything else on your desktop, such as games.

Ay

Do you need a loudspeaker for this or not? Or is the music transmitted via the sound card?

Ay

Yes sure

How do I have to proceed so that the music runs in the stream in the background? I know that Spotify has to be running, but how do I get the sound into the stream?

Dr

Yes sure

I didn't ask you. I just wanted to know if they understood the question correctly at all.

Ay

No he did 'nt!

Can you explain how to play music in the background?

Dr

First you answer "yes sure" for the other person and now you say that he didn't understand the question after all? Very interesting…

Who are you"?

Addition: I'm too stupid and haven't noticed that you actually mean "she".

Ay

So don't you wanna help me how to play background music in stream?

Dr

No, I can't do that. Just wanted to point out that the answer here is flawed

Br

I do not understand what is wrong with it. Spotify is part of normal desktop sound and if you stream it, you can also hear the music.

Dr

Obviously not.

Otherwise the FS would not have answered the following:

How do I have to proceed so that the music runs in the stream in the background? I know that Spotify has to be running, but how do I get the sound into the stream?

Br

I've already answered that. You just have to turn on the desktop sound on OBS, which is switched on by default. If you want to know exactly, you can just watch a YouTube tutorial, but anyone who opens the program can do it. If you have no idea about the topic, just don't write anything about it.

Dr

And why can't you write the answer in such detail right from the start? Because just turning it on with Spotify is not enough, as you already say. You also have to see if OBS transmits the desktop sound, as you said afterwards.
