# Use Computer Audio in Zip Captions

Sometimes it is necessary to be able to feed your computers audio to generate captions. For example, if you want to play a video, and caption this on your device during a presentation. This is possible using specialised software which can run on your computer.

Depending on the operating system that you are using we would recommend using the following free software to achieve this.

#### Windows

Voicemeeter: <https://vb-audio.com/Voicemeeter/index.htm>

#### Mac OS

Black-Hole: <https://github.com/ExistentialAudio/BlackHole>

{% hint style="danger" %}
We would advise that you read all of the help documentation, and fully understand how to use these tools before you dive in. Changing some of these settings, and using some of these tools can prevent your regular sound settings from working on your device.&#x20;
