how does it feel to know that streamers will now have their streams muted if theyre listening to a copyrighted song in the background? :)

Spotify works on a royalty system. If you listen to a song, the creators, or whoever get a tiny bit of money. If someone plays spotify over stream, it only counts are 1 person listening, when in fact thousands are hearing it.

Does a program exist where you can disable what audio is getting streamed? Like, say you have mumble, tf2 and spotify playing and you decide to “mute” spotify on the stream, but you still hear it yourself. Otherwise a program like that is gonna pop up soon.

I’m sure there is a way to configure it. I do know of a way it could be done. But it’s only theory. If you want me to test it, I can.

It is possible with VAC (virtual audio cable). I personaly have never tried it but i am 100% sure it works.

EDIT: found quick tutorial

Set up a virtual line 1 (should have one by default with normal
VAC install).
Set up a virtual cable that goes from Line 1 to Speakers so
that speakers hear what is coming into Line 1.
Set Line 1 as your default playback device.
Set music to use Speakers as your default output device.
