Soundboard for Streaming and Meetings

You can use this soundboard on a stream, recording or call by playing it in a browser tab and capturing that audio in your broadcast or meeting software. The sounds are original and CC0, so they are free to use on air.

How to get the audio into your software

There are two common routes. The first is application or browser audio capture: many streaming and recording programs can capture the sound of a single window, tab or application as its own source. Add the browser that runs the soundboard and you can set its level separately from your voice.

The second is a virtual audio device. Install a loopback or virtual cable driver, set your browser's output to it, then pick the same device as an input in your broadcast or meeting software. Mix it with your microphone there. Exact menu names differ by program and operating system, so check your software's audio documentation.

Hotkey tips

Hotkeys on this page only work while the soundboard tab is in focus, because browsers do not allow a page to listen to keys in the background. A practical fix is to keep the soundboard in its own window on a second screen, or to put the board in full screen on a spare monitor. Do not type into the search box while hotkeys are needed: letters typed there do not trigger sounds.

Copyright on air

The built-in sounds are original synthesis under CC0, so you do not need permission and no one else owns them. Automated claim systems can still make mistakes with short sounds; if that ever happens, the sound licence page explains where they come from. For clips you own, use your own board, which keeps your files on your device.

Set levels before you go live

Sound effects are much louder than speech. Lower the master volume slider, test the air horn and applause, and watch your meters so a button never clips or startles viewers. "Stop all" or Space cuts every sound immediately.

Questions people ask

Can I use these sounds on a live stream?

Yes. They are CC0 and original, so they are free to use on a stream, in a recording or on a call, with no credit required.

How do I play the soundboard into my stream?

Capture the browser window or its audio in your broadcast software, or send the browser output to a virtual audio device and use that device as an input. Then balance it against your microphone.

Why do hotkeys stop working when I switch windows?

A web page only receives key presses while it has focus. Keep the soundboard in a window you can click or focus, such as one on a second monitor.

Will the soundboard play into a video call?

Only if your meeting software can use the browser output or a virtual audio device as an input. Test it with a colleague before the call and keep the volume low.

Why is there no sound on my phone?

Check three things. First, the ringer or silent switch: on iOS devices it mutes web audio until you flip it to ring. Second, the media volume (not the ringer volume). Third, tap a button once: browsers only start audio after a tap or key press, and this page does that for you on your first tap.
