Requirements
To share audio, toggle on the relevant option when setting up your screen share.
On Windows, sharing audio is available for the entire screen or browser tab.
On Mac, sharing audio is available for browser tabs only.
To share windows like PowerPoint presentations or Games, you'll need to set them in "Full Window" or “Windowed mode”. Avoid full-screen mode, as it may prevent the window from showing up as a shareable option on your browser.
The resolution and ratio of your shared screen should match the values of your stream settings. For example, in a 1080p stream, you should share a 1080p screen.
