Multiple participants sharing computer audio?

Hi. I am doing music/composing lessons with Zoom, and me and my student would like to both share our computer audio simultaneously to quickly be able to play or show musical examples to each other, or show musical exercises without having to manually unshare and share our screen every time the other one wants to play something or show something from the music software on our computer. Is there a way to do that? Because it seems only one participant can share screen with audio at a time.

Also, how do I turn of the extreme noise cancelling on my microphone? I have tried everything, but Zoom seems to filter out everything that is not a voice, like clapping, musical instruments etc, which I don't want as we want to be able to clap and sing ideas to each other without the clapping being cut out, or me playing guitar, etc etc.

As an audio and broadcast engineer I can tell you that computer audio can be very complicated. First, you need to remove all audio enhancements for voice (including any enhancements on in the OS). For minimal latency try using the live performance audio selection in settings > audio. Be sure that both participants have this selected in settings and also turned on in the upper right area of the Zoom window. This works for the mic audio. You do NOT use audio sharing. You can route prerecorded audio to the mic audio by using OBS Studio with NDI plugin, NDI tools, and NDI runtime using the NDI webcam tool. If you are using a DAW there are ways to interface it thru NDI.

You can share both screens at the same time (remember you are NOT sharing audio you are using the mic audio) by having the host go to the web portal settings > meeting > in meeting basics > screen sharing > how many participants can share at the same time and change to multiple participants.

If this works please click accept as a solution.
