Preface: I created my own web document that successfully asks permission for and uses audio/mic input on regular Chrome using localhost.
It takes advantage of the transparency/alpha/opacity capabilities that browser sources provide in OBS vs. having a browser window open and using window capture.
Transparent background or not, however, I would rather avoid running a browser window during my streams as to save on resources.
OBS Version: The latest 26.1.1 (64bit)
I've tried this in the past before this version too.
What I've already tried after much searching:
Prompt tags like
I have launched OBS with and without Admin mode in all of these instances too.
I've done these steps on both my desktop and my laptop - no difference in results.
I've also tried including some other prompt tags that aren't really related to getting audio, but that's what happens when I get desperate to try whatever I can.
OBS still won't prompt or seemingly get my microphone permissions to work in my browser source.
I am also using the exact webpage URL (the localhost) that works on whatever browser (focusing on Chrome due to knowing OBS browser sources run with Chrome).
No matter what, my function and visual indicators for getting my microphone are not displaying when using the little browser source in OBS.
Something else I've tried is to disable all other audio inputs on my computer in hopes that maybe it's just a weird system in OBS that grabs an input of its choice. That didn't work either.
I even selected my microphone for the Input/Auxiliary Device in the Global Audio Devices, and still hasn't changed anything. (I'm sticking back to using media sources for my audio so there's better automated control in what I use for each scene during streams.)
Is there anything else I could do? Is it possible for tools or scripts to attach and force a browser source to get microphone permissions, and select a specific mic?
If so, I'd be willing to look into those options if I have the time. Otherwise, I'll make the suggestion in the Resource Requests forum.
I would prefer if OBS by default, had more of a user-friendly way to get these MediaStream permissions without using prompt tags; let alone the fact these steps I've taken do NOT work on either of my two devices. I'm at a loss here pretty much.
