Sharing screen audio whilst on headphones

Hi there,

I would like to share my screen and audio with a group. The screen sharing works fine and my audio works fine. However I would like to share the audio from a video that I'm showing. I can hear the audio in my headphones but not the participants on the other end.

My usual fix is to unplug the headphones and have the audio play out loudly so the mic picks it up and sends it. Surely there must be a better way...

I have tried all audio settings in the Zoom window. None, enable me to transmit the audio track from the video playing.

I'm on a MacBook Pro 11.5.2. I've tried to root the audio via the Audio/Midi Setup w/o success.

Thanks for your help,

Harry

Hi RajanB,

Thank you for your prompt response. Unfortunately, the information provided does not help me.

I would like to keep my headphones plugged in and share what I hear through my headphones via the shared screen as well. I must be possible to route the audio directly into the zoom-feed somehow, right?

Hello RajanB,

Can you guide how to reach the page shown in your screenshot? I have the same problem as Harry_100 and can't share audio recordings with my students on zoom as the sound doesn't go through to them!

Thanks in advance!
