Music in a breakout room

[NeilPinnock]

Is it possible in a breakout Room to play music through 'share screen'
If so, what would it be like to also be able to talk over the music?

I'd like to be able to DJ with music  in a breakout room.
Any advice or experience out there?

Hi @NeilPinnock, welcome to the Zoom community! You don't have to share screen in order to play music as you can just share your audio. However, if you are looking to both play music and share content, you first need to ensure that the host of the meeting has enabled screen sharing for participants in breakout rooms. 

Here are two helpful articles about sharing computer sound:

Hope this helps!

Hi,
I still don't find the answer on the question how I can send background music into breakout rooms. Can you please help me??? I find that a very important option.
Thank you

Hi, Johannes7104.

That is a yes. When you share screen to a breakout room, you can also share audio. You can also broadcast audio from your microphone to breakout rooms too:  https://support.zoom.com/hc/en/article?id=zm_kb&sysparm_article=KB0062809

Hello,

I'd like to clarify my question (and I think the original question). I'd like to share computer audio (not my microphone) without screen to breakout rooms. I.e., I want my breakout room participants to have music in their background from the computer (not my mic!) and be able to see each other fully without having a screenshare making their pictures smaller. Is this possible?

Thank you,

Anne
