NVIDIA Broadcast control through its local MCP gateway: camera, microphone and speaker effects, Studio Voice profiles, device selection, camera resolution, and effects on local media files. Requires NVIDIA Broadcast 2.3 or newer on Windows (2.2 and older have no gateway); the install is refused when the app is absent, and the tools appear while NVIDIA Broadcast is running in the user's desktop session.

## Good to know before installing

The tools change live audio and video effects on this machine; nothing leaves loopback.

From the plugin's catalog listing.

## How to install

1. Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs, then asks whether to turn it on.

```bash
hermes plugins install nvidia-broadcast
```

2. Said no? Turn it on later:

```bash
hermes plugins enable nvidia-broadcast
```

3. Restart Hermes so it loads the plugin.

Some plugins also need a sign-in or settings: see the official page. Memory plugins ask whether to become your memory provider instead. Steps follow the official plugins guide: https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/features/plugins
