Streaming & coaching audio

Two ways to hear the coach: Mode 1 sends it to your PS5 headset through Discord (no capture card needed). Mode 2 puts a live overlay and the coach voice into OBS for streaming. Pick the one that matches your setup.

01

Which mode is yours?

If your PS5 plugs straight into a TV, use Mode 1 and listen on your headset. If it runs through a capture card into a PC, use Mode 2 and let OBS carry the picture and the sound.

  • Mode 1 — no capture card: coach → Discord → your PS5 headset.
  • Mode 2 — capture card + OBS: live delta-map overlay + coach voice on your stream.
TIPYou can set up both — they don't conflict.
02

Mode 1 · How it works

GT Gati runs a small Discord bot on your PC. When the coach speaks, the bot plays the clip into a Discord voice channel. Join that channel on your PS5 and the coaching plays in your headset alongside the game.

  • Your own bot and server — the token never leaves your machine.
  • Only recorded clips play on Discord; long spoken lines can't be relayed.
  • Turning it on mutes the laptop so you never hear coaching twice.
TIPFirst-time bot setup takes about five minutes — then it just works.
03

Mode 1 · Create your bot

Make a bot in the Discord Developer Portal and copy its token. The token is the bot's password — keep it private.

  • discord.com/developers/applications → New Application → name it.
  • Bot tab → Reset Token → copy the token.
  • OAuth2 → URL Generator → tick 'bot', then 'Connect' and 'Speak'.
  • Open the generated URL, pick your server, Authorize.
04

Mode 1 · Copy your server and channel IDs

GT Gati needs the server ID and the voice-channel ID. Discord shows them once Developer Mode is on.

  • Discord → User Settings → Advanced → enable Developer Mode.
  • Right-click your server icon → Copy Server ID.
  • Right-click the voice channel → Copy Channel ID.
TIPUse a dedicated voice channel so coaching isn't mixed with party chat.
05

Mode 1 · Configure GT Gati

Open the ⚙ connection settings, expand 'Discord coaching', paste the token and both IDs, then Save & connect. The status line should read Connected.

  • Your token is saved locally on this machine only — never uploaded.
06

Mode 1 · Join on your PS5 and turn it on

Link Discord on your PlayStation and join the same voice channel, then enable the toggle in GT Gati.

  • On PS5: link Discord and join your voice channel.
  • In GT Gati connection settings, enable 'Play coaching in Discord'.
  • Drive — the coach plays in your headset with the game.
TIPHear nothing? You have to be in the voice channel yourself — the bot plays into it.
07

Mode 2 · Stream with a capture card

OBS already shows your PS5 gameplay. GT Gati adds two things on top: a live delta-map overlay (browser source) and the coach voice (Desktop Audio). Set it up once and forget it.

  • PS5 → capture card → PC. Add the card in OBS as a Video Capture Device.
  • Keep GT Gati open on the same PC — it doesn't need to be visible on stream.
08

Mode 2 · Add the live overlay to OBS

The overlay draws the reference line, your live line, the rolling delta and sector splits. It follows whatever you pick in GT Gati automatically — you never touch it in OBS.

  • OBS → Sources → + → Browser.
  • URL: http://localhost:4200/overlay/delta-map (if GT Gati opens on a different address for you, use that address + /overlay/delta-map).
  • Width 480, Height 480. Position it anywhere on the layout.
  • Pick a track, class and reference in GT Gati — the overlay follows on its own.
TIPBlank overlay? Select a reference lap in GT Gati first.
09

Mode 2 · Capture the coach voice

The overlay page is silent — the voice plays from the main GT Gati window. Capture it in OBS as Desktop Audio.

  • OBS → Settings → Audio → set Desktop Audio to your default playback device.
  • Leave GT Gati's coach output on 'System default'.
  • Turn on 'Robotic voice' so cues without a recorded clip still speak on stream.
  • Do a short test recording and confirm you hear the coach before going live.
TIPRouting coach audio to a virtual cable? The robotic voice won't follow — it always plays on the system default device.
10

Save your laps

Hit Save after a clean lap and GT Gati downloads it as a .json file. Load it any time in Replay mode ('Open my file') to study it against a reference.

  • No account needed — the file is yours, on your machine.
  • Want to race your own lap live? Arm 'Record new track' (Pro): your next full lap becomes the reference.
TIPSeeing 'Could not save lap locally'? Allow site data for this page and avoid private windows.
11

About the voice clips

Some cues play as recorded coach clips; the rest use the robotic voice until their clip exists. Discord plays only the recorded clips; an OBS stream captures both.

  • Braking, throttle, gear and sector calls are clip-backed.
  • Keep 'Robotic voice' on for streams so no cue goes silent.
TIPIf a mode seems quiet, it's usually waiting on clips — not a connection problem.
