Share Computer Audio on Mac

If you have long envied Windows users’ ability to share computer audio during Teams meetings, we have great news for you – Mac users now have this feature as well!

This can be useful if you’re presenting video or audio content during a meeting or class, or if you want to play music to avoid silence at the beginning of a call.

This new feature requires a one-time installation of an audio driver.  Users will be prompted to install the driver the first time they select the option to use computer audio.  

To enable this feature before joining a meeting, just check the box next to “Computer audio” before joining.

To enable this feature during a call or meeting, simply open the share tray and choose “Include computer sound.” Others on the call will be able to hear sound from any video or audio file you have playing on your Mac.

Look for this feature in June.
