Uploading sounds

You can upload any common audio file, such as MP3 or WAV. After the upload finishes, the sound appears in your soundboard. If your plan limits the number of sounds, a counter next to the upload button shows how many you've used.

Playing and managing sounds

Choose where sounds play

By default, sounds play on All connections. Use the Play on selector to play them on one specific connection only – for example on your OBS browser source but not on a preview monitor.

Tips

• Normalize your audio before uploading so sounds aren't too quiet or too loud for your viewers.
• Keep reaction sounds short – long clips overlap awkwardly when they're triggered several times.
• Test the volume before you go live while watching your stream audio.
• Name sounds clearly, e.g. „alert-sub“ or „reaction-laugh“, so you find them fast.

Troubleshooting

• No sound? Check that the overlay is connected (see Connections), that the volume isn't at 0 % and that the right connection is selected.
• Some browsers block autoplay until you've interacted with the page – click into the browser window once.
• Too quiet or too loud? Adjust the volume slider, re-upload a normalized file or check the OBS audio mixer.
