QUICK ANSWER
Loopback lets computer playback or a software mix feed another application. For streaming, define what the stream hears, what a remote guest hears, and what must not be returned to avoid feedback loops.
ADAPT THIS GUIDE
Loopback is routing, not a new source. Define what goes to the stream, what a remote guest hears and what must be excluded to avoid returns.
Microphone, game or browser audio, call audio and music may each need a place in the stream or recording.
Different interfaces expose different loopback channels and software controls. Use the exact model documentation.
A return sent back into the same call or application can create an echo/feedback loop. Test with low levels before going live.
