Before you start
- Install vAudioLink ASMR on both computers.
- Connect headphones on both computers.
- Ask the guest to prepare the stereo or binaural microphone source they will send.
- Sign in with a vAudioLink account that can create hosted rooms.
Open the ASMR dock
In OBS, select Docks → vAudioLink OBS ASMR Panel.The first screen should ask What are you doing today?
Select Host a session
Select Host a session. The dock opens your browser and displays Finish in your browser with a device code.Complete sign-in and approve the OBS plugin. If the browser is hidden or closed, select Reopen browser.Expected result: the dock leaves the authorization screen and shows the room-mode step.
Select Direct room
Under Choose room mode, select Direct OBS Room, then select Next.Follow Discord is a separate workflow. Use Follow Discord only when it is enabled for your account and community.
Configure the room
On Configure Direct OBS Room:
- Select the relay region with the best measured latency.
- Select the audio quality appropriate to the session.
- Confirm any displayed local source or track choice.
- Select Create Room.
Wait for the guest
Watch the participant card. It changes from waiting to connected when the guest key has been accepted and the audio transport is ready.If the key is rejected, rotate or recreate it and use sign-in and room troubleshooting.
Add the guest audio
Select Add Guest Audio to Scene while the intended OBS scene is active.Expected result: the plugin-managed incoming audio source appears in that scene and its meter responds when the guest speaks.
Prevent a return loop
Open Edit → Advanced Audio Properties in OBS. Keep the incoming guest source on Monitor Off unless you have deliberately built an isolated monitor bus.Make sure the guest audio is not also entering through Discord or another captured call application.
Ready-to-stream result
- The participant card shows the guest connected.

- Left and right orientation is correct.
