I want to practice some songs on karaoke, so what I'd like to do, is capture the sound from a YouTube Video (there's plenty of karaoke videos there) when I click play, then sing along to it, thus merging two audio devices.

How would I go about doing this using Windows 11?

First what type of Microphone are you using? Do you have a webcam and mic?
Or are you plugging a Mic into the computer?
If you don't have a Mic you can get a USB Mic https://www.amazon.com/s?k=usb+micr...fix=USB+mic,aps,207&ref=nb_sb_ss_ts-doa-p_1_7

Once you can hear audio on your computer from your Mic, then

I apologize, I did leave out some critical information.

I'll be using YouTube to capture the sound, I use the Brave Browser.

For my voice, I use a regular microphone, plugged into a Focusrite Scarlet Solo, which plugs into a USB Device. I'll be plugging in a wired XLR Mic to its audio port.

My intention is to hear only the YouTube video play through my G935 headset and not my voice, and basically that's all that would play during the actual recording process. Once I playback, I'll hear everything through my G935 headset.

Choose a recording software that lets you record audio separately...
(plenty of free ones out there)

Just make sure your mic and monitor are isolated from each other...
