How does audio work in CueCam?

CueCam mixes audio from your main microphone, videos, screen shares and music.

Select CueCam Audio as your mic input in Zoom, Teams or elsewhere.

You can choose which audio is sent to your headphones.

Usually you want everything except your main microphone to be in your headphones.

The reason not to include your microphone is that it will be distractingly delayed. Your microphone or audio interface may provide a direct monitoring feature to mitigate this problem.

Audio meters

CueCam provides LUFS metering, which is the most accurate way to measure how loud something sounds.

You will see green indicators when your levels are around -23 LUFS which is the perfect volume for your voice.
