Hi, we need to play (or even stream, for example from youtube) videos inside our UE4 game. These videos have sound, is there a way to separate that sound and play it through FMOD? Alternatively, is there a way to route a sound from UE4 into FMOD? If not, then my only two options are: Playing the sound of the video as an individual track inside FMOD and trying to sync it to the video. Or we use for the videos the UE4 audio-engine. The first option seems complicated, especially for streamed videos. And the second option is bad because then we have to use two audio-engines at the same time. ---

FMOD Studio does not specifically support streaming YouTube audio, and the [YouTube’s API Services Terms of Service](https://developers.google.com/youtube/terms/developer-policies#i.-additional-prohibitions) explicitly forbids isolating and modifying the audio component of their videos. If you were to use a service other than YouTube, it might be possible. If you were to somehow capture the video’s output and convert it to a native http, shoutcast, or icecast stream, you’d be able to play that stream through the FMOD Engine as described in the [Internet Streaming](https://www.fmod.com/resources/documentation-api?version=2.0&page=core-guide.html#internet-streaming) section of the [Core API Guide](https://www.fmod.com/resources/documentation-api?version=2.0&page=core-guide.html) chapter of the [FMOD API User Manual](https://www.fmod.com/resources/documentation-api?version=2.0&page=welcome.html). ---

What about the other part of the question, how do we redirect the audio of a Media player throu FMOD? the current method (as explained here [How To Display A Video In A Widget | With Audio - Unreal Engine 4 Tutorial - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhiSl8i4jbQ&t=129s&ab_channel=MattAspland) ) requiers the UE native system to work ---

As I said in my earlier answer, if you were to somehow capture the video’s output and convert it to a native http, shoutcast, or icecast stream, you’d be able to play that stream through the FMOD Engine as described in the [Internet Streaming](https://www.fmod.com/resources/documentation-api?version=2.0&page=core-guide.html#internet-streaming) section of the [Core API Guide](https://www.fmod.com/resources/documentation-api?version=2.0&page=core-guide.html) chapter of the [FMOD API User Manual](https://www.fmod.com/resources/documentation-api?version=2.0&page=welcome.html). If you are not able to convert the video’s audio output to a format that FMOD can use, FMOD will not be able to play it. ---

I think this question is a little different from our case so i have opened a new topic explaining myself better ( [UE Media Player sound](https://qa.fmod.com/t/ue-media-player-sound/18340) )
