Share your device’s audio when presenting in Google Meet
What’s happening
Sharing your screen is an essential part of collaborating and presenting in Google Meet. Often, you may also want to share audio as part of your presentation. We’re excited to announce that you can now share your device audio when presenting a specific window or your entire screen. Previously, you could only share audio from the specific tab you were presenting.
This highly requested feature makes it seamless to present videos and other content with audio from any application or source on your computer, such as a presentation from a Media Player application or third-party presentation software. This will help to create a more immersive experience for your audience, while removing potential for any echoes, ensuring your presentations are clear and professional.
Please note the software requirements below.
- Operating system must be macOS 14.02 or newer or Windows 11 or newer.
- Browser must be Google Chrome 142 or newer.
Getting started
- Admins: There is no admin control to enable or disable this feature. Admins can only enable or disable screen sharing in general.
- End users: This feature will be OFF by default. When you go to present and select either "A window" or "Your entire screen," you will see a new option to also share your device audio. Simply flip the toggle to include audio in your presentation. On macOS, using the feature for the first time you will see a permission prompt from the operating system. Please approve it to use the feature. Note the following:
- This feature is not available for users whose audio is merged with other devices using adaptive audio. These users can continue to share audio when presenting a Chrome tab.
- For a seamless audio experience, set Meet audio output to use the system default output device.
