Use your phone as a mic in Zoom, Discord, OBS and more

The microphone to choose

In every app, your phone shows up as CABLE Output (VB-Audio Virtual Cable). Choose that as the microphone or input device. If you also pick it in Windows Settings → System → Sound → Input, most apps will use it by default.

Zoom

1. Open Zoom and click your profile picture → Settings.
2. Go to Audio.
3. Under Microphone, choose CABLE Output (VB-Audio Virtual Cable). Use Test Mic to check it.

During a meeting you can also click the small arrow next to Mute and pick it there.

Discord

1. Click the gear icon (User Settings) at the bottom left.
2. Open Voice & Video.
3. Set Input Device to CABLE Output (VB-Audio Virtual Cable) and use Mic Test to hear yourself.

OBS Studio

1. Open Settings → Audio.
2. Set Mic/Auxiliary Audio to CABLE Output (VB-Audio Virtual Cable).
3. Or add it to a single scene: in Sources click + → Audio Input Capture and choose the cable.

Microsoft Teams

1. Click the … menu next to your picture → Settings.
2. Open Devices (or Devices & audio).
3. Set Microphone to CABLE Output (VB-Audio Virtual Cable).

Google Meet (in the browser)

1. In a meeting, click the three dots → Settings → Audio.
2. Set Microphone to CABLE Output (VB-Audio Virtual Cable).
3. If the browser asks for microphone access, allow it.

Games and other apps

Most games and apps have a voice, audio or microphone setting. Choose CABLE Output there — or leave it on Default and set the cable as the default input in Windows.

No sound?

• Check that OwnMic says Connected on both phone and PC, and that it isn't muted.
• Pick CABLE Output — not CABLE Input, which is the speaker side of the cable.
• Restart the app (Zoom, Discord…) after installing VB-Cable, so it sees the new microphone.
