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**.
