The following article is for a software that is now considered Legacy (EOL) status and no longer in active development. The information below may be outdated, no longer available or it may not match what is possible with current Elgato products. |
Note: Wave Link has now been updated to version 3. This reimagining has all-new features and an improved interface overall. Wave Link 3 is free, and will also work with a wide variety of microphones, not just those from Elgato.
The Wave Link stream mix can be output to a hardware output such as a capture card, making dual PC setups easier. Other outputs, such as headphones or speakers, can also be selected.
Note: These steps are not required if you want to add Wave Link Stream Mix to OBS Studio or other applications running on the same PC. See the setup steps for adding Wave Link to OBS Studio, Streamlabs Desktop, and Twitch Studio.
