Use audio you’re allowed to broadcast, credit it, send it into your stream as its own source, and balance it against your microphone. Do those four things and your game sounds better and stays safe.
1. Use audio you’re allowed to broadcast
Streaming copyrighted commercial music can lead to muted videos or takedowns. – Summoning Stone’s built-in music, ambience and effects are cleared for commercial use with attribution and a link to the app. – Apple Music tracks aren’t covered. Keep them for private games. – Read the terms of any other source before you go live. See stream-safe music.
2. Credit it
Say your audio comes from Summoning Stone, and link to summoningstone.app or the App Store listing in your video description or stream panel.
3. Send it to the stream as its own source
Keep game audio separate from your mic in your streaming software so you can change one without touching the other. How you capture it depends on your setup, such as the computer running the app or a virtual audio device.
4. Balance it against your voice
Voices first, then music and ambience below, with effects punching through briefly. Test with a recording before going live. See how loud.
Tips for streamers
- Build your scenes before you go live. One tap per scene keeps your hands free.
- Use a Stream Deck so effects are one press. See how.
- Show artwork or maps on screen, with weather overlays.
- Keep sudden loud effects for key moments so viewers aren’t startled.
