Start with the stage audio
Connect the sound desk to a laptop by supported USB audio, or through a USB audio interface (sound card). In Baian Live, select that input, choose the languages and start translation. The laptop needs internet. Keep translated playback out of the stage-microphone feed so Baian does not translate itself.
Audience phones
Open “Share with listeners” and display the QR code or share the link. Attendees choose a language in their phone browser. They can read captions without headphones, or use their own headphones for supported translated audio. Phones need internet; no app installation or dedicated receiver is required.

Copy the Camera Overlay link from Baian’s sharing panel or Settings. In OBS, add a Browser Source, paste the link and fit it over your camera scene. Set the caption appearance in Baian; the same link uses your saved choices.
This connection adds captions to the video. Translated audio needs a separate audio route. Confirm Camera Overlay access with your event booking.
OBS Browser Source instructionsProjectors and venue screens
In “Share with listeners”, choose Projector and open its link on the screen computer. Adjust text size, colour and QR-code position in Baian. The projector view is separate from the OBS overlay, so changes here do not alter attendees’ phone displays.
Existing headset systems
In Settings, Headset output sends supported language audio to separate output channels. Choose a specific audio device, assign the languages and start outputs during your Live session. It stays off until you start it.
Your AV team connects the audio interface’s physical outputs to the headset transmitters. Two- and four-channel options need a compatible browser, interface and channel mapping. Test each language on the actual receivers before the event.

Rehearse with the stage microphone, audience internet and every output you plan to use. Check names, language switches and the final text or sound. Send us your mixer and interface models, laptop operating system and audience languages if you want help with the connection.
