Details

&audiooutput lets you set the default audio output device, based on its name.

Matches on "string contains", so a partial string of the device name is enough. Use lower case, with underscores replacing special characters or spaces.

&sink takes priority, if used, and &sink is more strict in matching. While &audiooutput matches on the device name, &sink matches on the device ID.

&audiooutput=labelname is consistent across domains / cookie sessions, while &sink=deviceid isn't.

If the parameter's value is left blank, it hides the option to change the output device, including under the settings cog.

Visit vdo.ninja/devices to find the available device IDs and device names on your system.

Device IDs are specific to VDO.Ninja's domain, while device names are not.

This web-based tool will also auto-create links for you, just by clicking on the respective device.

You can change the audio output device dynamically via the settings menu.

In Version 22 of VDO.Ninja you can change the audio output device of each video feed individually via Right-Click -> Audio Destination on the video feed.

Electron Capture

You can specify an audio output device via the Electron Capture app's command line using this URL parameter (when used in conjunction with VDO.Ninja). Example: electron.exe --url="https://vdo.ninja/?view=guest1&outputdevice=mixer_usb"
