How does one record voice?

[AzrealNoctis]

I'm looking at recording and uploading me and my friends shenanigans on siege, and I know I need a capture card to do so, but how could I also record my and their voices? Is this even possible?

OBS, DXtory, or if you have an Nvidia GPU you can use shadow play which it built into the drivers.

It's more a question of how you want to do it.... so many possibilities. What is your setup now? What is your budget? How much of a wire nest can you live with?

 

Easiest way is probably to setup Mixer and have your friends in a party broadcast their audio - https://windowsreport.com/save-mixer-streams-xbox/

The Elgato capture cards use HDMI Passthrough to capture your gameplay, so anything you see/hear on screen will be captured by it. 

 

Here's an Amazon link with a few examples:

At present I don't have a setup, I don't mind having some cables hanging around, I'll find somewhere to shove them probably. I'm not trying to do this professionally, just as a side thing for fun

You don't have an xbox, a PC, or a headset?

In researching how to do this for PS4, I think I've found the most elegant solution yet: https://help.elgato.com/hc/en-us/articles/360027959452-PlayStation-4-PS4-Game-and-Chat-Audio-with-Elgato-Game-Capture-HD
