Hi,
For complicated reasons to do with staying legal regarding streaming copyrighted music I want to be able to record video with audio, but stream the same video without audio. Anyone know if this is possible and how to do it?
Thanks,
Puddles

Sure, that's possible. As default, OBS puts audio track 1 into the stream. In Edit->Advanced audio properties, setup track 1 in a way that only audio sources without your copyrighted music get mixed onto track 1.
For recording, go to Settings->Output->Recording and uncheck track 1. Instead, check Track 2. This way, only audio track 2 gets written to your recording and not track 1. Then go to Edit->Advanced audio properties and setup track 2 similar to track 1 but add the audio source that will contain your copyrighted music as well.
