Tabletop Audio - new Broadcast feature

[Calisto]

Maybe old new to some but I just noticed that the great audio site, Tabletop Audio, launched a new "broadcast" feature allow you to trigger audio selections from your browser to connected players browsers. Essentially send your players a link and every sound you trigger will play from the site on their local PC. Check it out!

I like music and sound effects with my games (playing Ravenloft now, essential!) and the only passable solution for me has been running the Roll20 Jukebox (which works great btw). This is a cool alternative, I love the TTA sounds and love the new feature. It only seems to work on their Soundpads and it's still in beta but glad to see this out there. Hope you find it useful!

I've played around with this and agree it's a good option.

Note the site admin told me that the broadcast will time out after a(n unspecified) period of time. To avoid this, the broadcaster should fiddle with a setting, such as a volume slider, and it resets the timer.

Good find! Since I've moved to streaming my own music I don't need to rely on web providers anymore, but this will be a good option for those unable to do so.

I like this. I might well try it out. Don't usually bother with sounds but these are actually very good and it's easy to use.

I use this every game with the Sound Pad that is also available on the same site. Mix the two together. My players love it!
