Overview

Zoom screen sharing lets you share a desktop, window, application, or audio/video. To provide a more professional sharing experience, you can also share your computer’s audio (in mono or stereo) with remote attendees when sharing.

Prerequisites

• For mono audio:
  • For Windows, macOS and Linux, version 5.0.0 or later of the Zoom desktop client
• For stereo audio:
  • Version 5.5.0 or higher of Zoom’s desktop client for Windows, macOS, and Linux

How to share audio with shared content

2. On the meeting toolbar, click Share Screen.
3. Choose what you want to share.
4. Select Share Sound in the bottom-left corner of the share selection window.

6. Click on Share in the bottom-right corner to begin sharing with your device’s audio included.

Notes:

Screen sharing with computer sound while connected to meeting audio via phone

• Users who join the meeting both by phone and computer will receive audio over the phone and video/screen sharing over the computer. To bind the two devices together, they must enter their Meeting ID and Participant ID.
• By checking Share Computer Sound on their computer, this user will be able to listen to audio via both their phone device as well as their computer.
• Alternatively, you can mute the speaker on your PC or Mac or click Stop Share at the top of your meeting screen to stop sending audio.
