Introduction

If you’re a fan of video games and if you like to watch people play them, then you’ve probably heard of Twitch.tv. It’s a website where people can stream themselves playing video games, and it’s become quite popular in recent years.

One thing that many Twitch streamers do is add music to their streams to make them more entertaining to watch. If you’re thinking about doing this yourself, there are a few things you need to know first. In this article, we’ll go over everything you need to know about adding music to your Twitch stream.

Why add music to your Twitch stream?

There are many reasons why you might want to add music to your Twitch stream. Music can add atmosphere and help you create a more professional and engaging broadcast. It can also help to cover up any background noise and make your stream more enjoyable for viewers.

If you’re looking to add music to your Twitch stream, there are a few things you need to know. In this article, we’ll walk you through the process of adding music to your Twitch stream obs (Open Broadcasting Software) and give you some tips on choosing the right music for your channel.

Adding music to your Twitch stream obs is a relatively simple process. First, you’ll need to find some background music that you want to use. You can find free or paid-for music online, but make sure you have the rights to use it before you start streaming. Once you’ve found some suitable music, open up your Twitch stream obs and click on the ‘Media’ tab. Here, you’ll see a ‘ Musical library’ folder – open this up and drag your chosen tracks into it.

Now that your tracks are imported, it’s time to set them up in your Twitch stream obs. Click on the ‘Settings’ cog in the bottom-right corner of the screen and then head over to the ‘Stream’ tab. Scroll down until you see the ‘Background Music’ section and click on ‘Musical library.’ From here, you can choose which tracks you want to play during your stream, as well as how they will transition from one track to the next. It’s important to experiment with different settings until you find something that works well for your channel.

Choosing the right music for your Twitch channel is just as important as setting it up in your obs. You want to pick tracks that will complement your gameplay or commentary without being too intrusive or distracting for viewers. If you’re not sure where to start, have a look at some of the popular Twitch channels in your niche and see what kind of music they use during their broadcasts.

What kind of music should you add to your Twitch stream?

There’s no easy answer to this question. It depends on the kind of stream you’re running, the music you like, and the overall tone you want to set for your channel. However, there are a few general tips you can follow to help you choose the right music for your Twitch stream.

First, consider the genre of game you’re streaming. If you’re playing a fast-paced shooter, for example, you might want to choose music with a quick tempo that will get viewers pumped up. Alternatively, if you’re streaming a strategy game or something that requires a lot of concentration, you might want to choose calmer music that won’t distract viewers from the action.

Secondly, think about the overall tone and atmosphere you want to create on your channel. Do you want it to be light and friendly, or dark and intense? Upbeat or laid-back? Considering the kind of music that fits this atmosphere can help you make a decision.

Finally, don’t be afraid to experiment! The best way to figure out what works is to try out different tracks and see how they affect your stream and your viewers. Over time, you’ll develop a better understanding of the kind of music that works for your channel – and more importantly, the kind of music that your viewers enjoy.

How to add music to your Twitch stream using XSplit

Adding music to your Twitch stream is a great way to set the tone for your broadcast and add some additional personality. While there are a few different ways to add music to your stream, we recommend using XSplit for its ease of use and comprehensive feature set. Here’s a quick guide on how to get started:

1. Download and install XSplit Broadcaster on your PC.

2. launch the application and log in with your Twitch account.

3. Click on the “Settings” cog in the upper right-hand corner and select “Advanced Audio Settings.”

4. In the “Advanced Audio Settings” menu, click on the “+ Add Music” button.

5. Select the audio file you wish to add from your computer and click “Open.”

6. The file will now be added to your XSplit library and can be played back at any time by clicking on the play button next to it.

How to add music to your Twitch stream using other software

Many Twitch streamers like to add music to their streams to make them more enjoyable for their viewers. However, Twitch does not have a built-in music player, so you’ll need to use other software to play your tunes.

There are a few different ways you can go about doing this. One popular option is to use a program called “Virtual Audio Cable” (VAC). This software allows you to route audio from one application to another, so you can play music in one program and have it come out of your Twitch stream.

Another option is to use a program like “OBS Streamlabs” (which is based on the popular “OBS Studio” software). OBS Streamlabs has a built-in music player that can play local audio files or audio from YouTube videos. You can also use this player to play Spotify tracks if you have the Spotify desktop app installed.

Whatever method you choose, make sure you test it out before you go live on Twitch! No one wants to hear dead silence or random noises coming from your stream.

Tips for adding music to your Twitch stream

If you want to add music to your Twitch stream but aren’t sure how, here are some tips to get you started.

One of the most important things to keep in mind when adding music to your stream is copyright law. Make sure you only use music that you have the legal right to use. This means either using music that you’ve composed yourself or music that is in the public domain, or finding a Twitch-safe music provider like Monstercat Gold.

Once you’ve found some appropriate music, there are a few different ways to add it to your stream. If you’re using OBS Studio, one option is to add a browser source and play the music through a website like SoundCloud or YouTube. Another option is to use the audio playback feature in OBS Studio to play music files stored on your computer.

Finally, if you want more control over the timing and volume of your stream’s background music, you can use a dedicated streaming audio player like Nightbot or Streamlabs Chatbot. These programs allow you to queue up tracks and control when they play, as well as set fade-in and fade-out times so that your music doesn’t interfere with your voice chat.

Conclusion

Now that you know how to add music to your Twitch stream, you can make your broadcasts more entertaining for viewers. Just remember to choose appropriate songs and to avoid using copyrighted material. With a little effort, you can turn your Twitch stream into a musical masterpiece!
