3. Select the program or desktop you wish to share.
When sharing a video that includes audio:
1. Select Share sound in the bottom-left corner of the share selection window.
Optional: Select the down arrow just to the right of the Share sound option to view audio options and switch between Mono and Stereo (High-fidelity) audio options.
Note: If you are in a Zoom Room, do not join computer audio or make sure your speaker and microphone are muted. Not doing so will cause loop back.
If you are not in a Zoom Room and wish to hear the audio you are sharing, please make sure your speaker is not muted.
2. Click Share in the bottom-right corner to begin sharing your screen with your device's audio included.
Mac users- you may receive a pop-up window stating that Zoom would like to share your computer audio and that you need to provide administrator credentials to allow Zoom to do so. Please proceed with this.
