I’m running a nautical sandbox campaign on discord with some friends and have been wanting to set the vibe and kill dead air with some background music. The problem I’ve ran into is that discord is pretty limiting in that regard, I can run YouTube as an activity in the discord app but it doesn’t allow a sign in and it is FULL of ads that play every few minutes. I’ve tried streaming YouTube in a window but the video and audio freeze when I switch to the vtt window for the campaign. I’ve also tried a soundboard to no avail as the audio quality just isn’t worth the hassle. I’m perplexed, there has to be a DM on here that uses music on discord. Any ideas?
KenkuFM is made by the excellent folks over at Owlbear Rodeo. It can be found at https://www.kenku.fm/
I personally have Youtube Premium largely because I watch a fair amount of Youtube and when combined with the music that comes with it - well the price is better than say Spotify.
Kenku allows you to either have a soundboard and pull from your hard drive, or to have browsers, or even both. It really is an excellent tool (and yes you can sign into your YT account in Kenku).
Not only can you stream music, but you can pull up any sound effect website and have a slew of sounds you can play at the same time your music is streaming.
We play via Discord as we are in 4 different states, and typically use Arkenforge for Maps.
Cheers!

Breathe, dragons; sing of the First World, forged out of chaos and painted with beauty. Sing of Bahamut, the Platinum, molding the shape of the mountains and rivers; Sing too of Chromatic Tiamat, painting all over the infinite canvas. Partnered, they woke in the darkness; partnered, they labored in acts of creation.
