Krisp for streamers and gamers
Mechanical keyboards, fans, and a mic close to your face are a recipe for a noisy stream. Krisp strips that out in real time before it hits Discord, OBS, or your capture software, without a hardware chain or a treated room.
Why streamers use Krisp
- Removes keyboard clatter and fan noise while you talk, so your voice stays front and center.
- Works across your whole setup: the same clean audio flows into Discord, OBS, and any recording tool, because Krisp sits at the system level.
- No special hardware required. It runs on a normal laptop or PC.
Quick setup
- Install and open Krisp, set your real mic and speaker, and enable noise cancellation.
- In Discord, set your input device to Krisp Microphone.
- In OBS, add an Audio Input Capture using Krisp Microphone.
When NVIDIA Broadcast is the better pick
If you have an NVIDIA RTX graphics card and only need to clean your outgoing voice, NVIDIA Broadcast is a strong free option. Krisp wins when you are on a laptop, do not have an RTX card, or want the same clean audio on calls too. See our Krisp vs NVIDIA Broadcast comparison.
Clean up your stream audio
The free plan covers 60 minutes a day with no card, enough to test it on a stream or a Discord call.
FAQ
Yes. Because Krisp adds a virtual microphone, you select Krisp Microphone as an Audio Input Capture in OBS, and your voice is filtered before it hits the stream.
NVIDIA Broadcast is great if you have an RTX card and only need outgoing cleanup. Krisp is more flexible: it runs on any machine, cleans both directions, and works on calls too.
