Audio Controls

When a host changes the volume on the stream, it will adjust the volume in the stream, so your viewers can hear more of you, or more of your topic video, depending on how you adjust things.



Advanced Creator Video Controls (e.g. OBS)

While HotMic has a production studio that works right in your browser, for more control you may want to use OBS or a similar software tool to provide the creator video.
