# ASMR Collab

> Send binaural or stereo microphone audio between remote OBS creators.

ASMR Collab preserves the left and right channels of a remote microphone so binaural placement reaches the host's OBS scene.

## Use ASMR Collab when

* The collaborator's stereo placement matters.
* You want their processed OBS microphone source rather than a whole program video.
* The host needs a native incoming audio source in an existing OBS scene.
* A temporary accountless guest workflow is appropriate.

## Roles and result

| ----- | -------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------- |
| Host  | Creates the room, shares the key, adds guest audio | Plugin-managed remote audio source |
| Guest | Pastes the key and selects a microphone source     | Room and host connection status    |

## Monitoring

Keep the incoming source on **Monitor Off** unless the monitoring path is intentionally isolated. Monitoring the return through a route that feeds the sender can create echo or feedback.

## Network behavior

ASMR Collab uses a hosted relay to forward the selected native audio mode. The relay does not normalize, gate, downmix, transcode, or store the audio.

<Note>
  A quiet meter is usually a source-selection, mute, or routing problem. A disconnected dock is usually a key, session, or network problem.
</Note>

## What ASMR Collab does not do

* It does not send the guest's whole OBS Program.
* It does not configure the host's global OBS audio settings.
* It does not make speaker monitoring safe automatically.
* It does not make a mono microphone binaural.
