NVIDIA Broadcast
Free RTX app that applies AI noise removal, virtual backgrounds, and eye contact to mic and webcam.
About
NVIDIA Broadcast is a free standalone app that runs AI effects on the Tensor Cores of GeForce RTX GPUs. It takes your microphone, speaker, or webcam signal, applies the effect, and exposes a virtual device that Zoom, Teams, Discord, OBS, and other apps can use. Audio effects include noise removal, room echo removal, and Studio Voice, an AI equalizer that makes a basic mic sound close to a studio recording.
Video effects include virtual background (blur, replacement, or removal), auto frame tracking, video noise removal for low-light webcams, eye contact that simulates looking at the camera, virtual key light relighting, and vignette. Since version 2.0, several effects can be combined on one device. The app is free but requires an RTX GPU; the heaviest features like Studio Voice and Virtual Key Light officially target RTX 3060 or newer.
