How To Turn On Camera On Skype On Mac

If y'all take e'er wanted to feed your system audio into a Skype call – for example, you're recording a podcast and you desire to play a clip from a vocal or a moving-picture show or a voicemail from a listener and you want the other person on your call to hear it and you likewise desire it to come up through cleanly on your recording – so this might help (assuming you're on a Mac).

I've wanted to do this for ages and just figured it out. As it turns out, information technology wasn't difficult at all and I should have taken the time to piece of work it out ages ago. And so I'k writing this for anyone else who might become searching for a solution.

Here are the apps you lot'll need to install:

1. Sound Hijack
two. Soundflower

Steps.

i. Gear up a new Audio Hijack session we below. And then what you'll end up with is two sound inputs – your mic and your organization audio (or you lot could make the second one an app, like iTunes or Chrome, etc) feeding into your headphones so through to Soundflower.

2. Once you've done that, open up up your Skype settings and set "input" to Soundflower.

Once yous've done that – you're set.

Turn on Sound Hijack my clicking the circular button in the lower left corner.

When you want to feed your secondary audio source into Skype, just click the secondary source node in Audio Hijack and set its status to "on".

When you have finished with that piece of audio, turn its status back to "off".

That's pretty much all in that location is to information technology.
