Share Audio without Screen with Chromebook

Yesterday I tried to make a virtual Zumba class with my new Chromebook. Few weeks ago I installed the Zoom App, connected everythig...

As I tried to only share the music without Screen yesterday it was not working, because I don't see the option for advanced options where the "normal" button only Audio can be found.

 

Can someone help me to find the right way to share the audio without screen?

 

Thank you

Unfortunately Zoom doesn't support sharing audio without also sharing your screen. The usual “Share Computer Audio” option found in the desktop app’s advanced settings isn’t available on Chrome OS due to limitations in the Zoom web app. However, there are a couple of workarounds.

 

You can share a specific Chrome browser tab that’s playing your music just make sure to check the “Share Tab Audio” box when selecting the tab. Alternatively, you can play music from a separate device near your Chromebook's mic, though the sound quality may not be great. For the best experience, especially for virtual classes like Zumba, using Zoom on a Windows or Mac computer is recommended.
