It all makes sense now. Another day I’m glad to not be a gambling addict

It’s not the ads I hate, it’s the data harvesting I hate. Static ads without trackers don’t exist on YouTube, unfortunately.

EasyEffects has a real-time pitch filter that works for me. I don’t understand how it works, but I didn’t need to mess with audio routing, I set applications to use my mic and EasyEffects somehow still applies the filters.

Is there a difference when sharing the whole screen versus sharing only a single window?

You could use a virtual camera like the one included in OBS to share your screen with the cursor showing, but that probably won’t share desktop audio by default.
