Microsoft Teams: Share Your Computer Sound along with Screenshare

Overview

If you are playing a video or audio clip as part of your presentation in a Microsoft Teams video meeting, you can include the sound from your computer. Here's how to make it happen.

How To

1. Start your Teams meeting and click on the Share button at the top right of your screen.
   
   
    
2. When the share selection window opens note the switch "Include computer sound."
    
3. 
   
    
4. Click the switch to select it and allow Teams to share your computer sounds.
   
   
   
    
5. If you are on a Mac, you'll need to install a driver the first time you include computer audio in a Teams meeting. Just follow the screen prompts.
   
   
    
6. When you are ready to share your screen and computer sounds, switch on the share computer sounds and select the screen you wish to share. 
7. To stop sharing, click the Stop Presenting button at the top of your screen.
    

Here are some additional things to keep in mind:

• If you share a specific window or application, only the sound from that window or application will be shared.
• If you are sharing your entire screen, all of the sounds from your computer will be shared.
• If you are using a headset, the sound from your headset will be shared instead of the sound from your computer speakers.
• If you are having trouble sharing your computer sound, ensure your audio settings are correct.
