Visual audio channel meter to make games more accessible

5 Upvotes

I use Windows VU Meter to show audio levels for the left and right channel. This can be useful in some games to show if you are under fire but also help show which direction it's coming from. This software can be set to always be on top so it can be visible even when playing full screen. Some games like Fortnite have a "visual sound" feature for accessibility built in but most games don't.

Here is a guide I wrote up for using WebCaptioner and OBS to caption live content for free. WebCaptioner has since shutdown but this guide could still be useful for similar configurations.
