Runtime payloads for DesktopBuddy, including FFmpeg, tunnel, virtual camera, and virtual audio setup files.DesktopBuddy
DesktopBuddy brings your Windows desktop, completely and seamlessly into Resonite, including screensharing, control, a virtual camera and microphone, and more.

- Fully GPU-accelerated WGC desktop capture.
- Stream panels to other users through local encoding and remote HTTPS tunnel support.
- Virtual video camera for Windows for video calls and more from within Resonite.
- Virtual microphone for Windows for voice calls with spatialized voice from Resonite.
- Use privacy controls for hiding or limiting what other users can see.
- Adjust capture, streaming, audio, culling, viewer, and debug options from the in-world settings panel.
