Share system audio when sharing your screen

Last updated: September, 2026

You can share system audio during your live session using a Google Chrome web browser. Based on your device's operating system (Windows or macOS), you can choose to share audio through a Chrome tab or the entire device screen.

💡 Tip: If you wish to share audio from media on your device, you can drag and drop the media into a Chrome tab. This allows you to play the media directly in the browser, which can be useful, especially when you want to share audio using a device with macOS.

To share audio:

  1. Start a live session in the Google Chrome browser.

  2. Click the Screen sharing (⬆️) icon on the control bar.

  3. In the Choose what to share dialog, you will see options to share a specific Chrome tab, window, or the entire screen of your device.

If you are using macOS, you can only share system audio when sharing a Chrome tab. See the following steps:

  • In the Choose what to share dialog, click the Chrome tab, Window or Entire screen.

  • Select the tab or screen you want to share, then turn on Share with tab audio for a Chrome tab or Share with system audio for a window or your entire screen.

  • Click Share with audio.

If you are using a Windows device, you can share system audio when sharing a Chrome tab, window or the entire screen. See the following steps:

  • In the Choose what to share dialog, click the Chrome tab, Window or Entire screen.

  • Select the tab or screen you want to share, then turn on Share with tab audio for a Chrome tab or Share with system audio for a window or your entire screen.

  • Click Share with system audio.
