Run the current ASMR self-host flow and understand Scene Share’s direct compatibility boundary.
Open the dock’s overflow menu and select Start Self-Hosting. ASMR Collab 1.0.0 provides a complete current host-and-guest flow. Scene Share 1.0.1 can start its bundled direct server and sender, but its current guest UI accepts only a hosted Stage code. The Receiver SRT URL is retained for an older direct receiver or another explicitly compatible consumer.You do not need a vAudioLink account or hosted streaming time for this path.
ASMR Collab
Start the local audio relay, create a room, and invite a guest from the ASMR dock.
Scene Share
Start the local Scene Share server and sender for a legacy-compatible direct receiver.
Two current Scene Share 1.0.1 docks cannot complete the direct URL workflow: Join backstage accepts a Stage code and does not expose Paste Receiver SRT URL. Use a hosted Stage between current docks. Music Collab 0.1.18 does not expose a local-relay option in its dock.
Use these steps on the computer that will host the room.
1
Open self-hosting
In OBS, select Docks → vAudioLink ASMR Collab. Open the dock’s overflow menu, then select Start Self-Hosting.Expected result: the dock shows Local relay status and checks 127.0.0.1:8443.
Launch or address the local relay, then complete the room form after the status changes to Detected.
2
Start the bundled relay
Select Launch relay server.Keep the relay window open during the session. The dock checks it automatically.Expected result:Local relay status changes to Detected on 127.0.0.1:8443 and reports a successful connection.
3
Confirm the relay address
For a relay on the same computer, keep the default address.If the relay is on another computer in your local network, select Change address and enter that computer’s reachable address.
4
Complete the room form
Under Once your relay is running:
Confirm Relay server.
Enter the relay password shown or configured in the relay window.
Enter Your name (host).
Enter the Guest’s name.
Select Create Room.
Expected result: the dock enters the live self-host view and displays a guest key.
5
Send the guest instructions
Copy the guest key and send it privately with the relay address your partner must use.Do not show the key in OBS Program, stream chat, screenshots, or recordings.
6
Have the guest connect
On the guest computer:
Open vAudioLink ASMR Collab, open the overflow menu, and select Start Self-Hosting.
Select Paste a guest key instead.
Paste the Guest key.
Enter the host’s Relay server address.
Select Connect as guest.
Expected result: both docks enter their live self-host views.
7
Add and test the audio
On the host, select Add Guest Audio to Scene. Keep the incoming source on Monitor Off while testing.Run a left/right microphone test and make a short local recording before going live.
Use these steps only when the receiver is an older direct-compatible Scene Share dock or another consumer that explicitly accepts the generated encrypted SRT URL. For two current Scene Share 1.0.1 docks, use a hosted Stage.
1
Open self-hosting
In OBS, select Docks → Scene Share. Open the overflow menu and select Start Self-Hosting. The host Room screen also exposes Self-host direct.Expected result: the dock displays Run your own Scene Share server with Run on this PC selected.
Self-host direct is for a legacy-compatible receiver; two current Scene Share 1.0.1 docks should use a hosted Stage.
2
Start the local server
Select Start local server.The dock starts the bundled Scene Share server and detects the addresses your receiver can use.Expected result: the card changes to Local server running and shows uptime, public and LAN addresses, connected receivers, and throughput.
3
Make the host reachable
For a receiver on the same network, use the LAN address shown by the dock.For a receiver outside your network, forward UDP 8890–8891 to the sending computer. Allow the Scene Share server through Windows Firewall if prompted.
4
Choose quality and start sending
Select the Scene Share bitrate, then select Start sending.Start with 6 Mbps. Use 3 Mbps when upload capacity is limited.Expected result: the sender reports a live self-host session and displays a Receiver SRT URL.
5
Use a compatible direct receiver
Copy the complete Receiver SRT URL and send it privately only to the intended compatible receiver.Scene Share 1.0.1 does not expose Paste Receiver SRT URL or Start viewing in its current guest route. If the receiver does not explicitly support the direct URL, stop here and use a hosted Stage instead.
6
Verify the connection
With a compatible receiver connected, the sender’s self-host card should show one receiver and active throughput. Ask the receiver to confirm picture and sound with a visible clap test.
