(Pocket-lint) – Zoom screen sharing is really easy to do if you’re on a Mac or PC, but we’ve seen many people comment that they can’t share audio or video in their Zoom meetings.
So here’s how to do it.
Sure, that could apply to a YouTube video, but it could be a music lap for a Zoom pub quiz you recorded on SoundCloud (yes, we did) or it could even be Spotify.

Zoom Screen Sharing lets you share your entire desktop, a window, an application, or an audio/video file. And when you enable screen sharing, you can also choose to share your computer audio. Here’s how.
How to Share Audio or Video to Share Screen in Zoom
- Open your Zoom meeting on your Mac or PC
- Open your media – YouTube, SoundCloud, Vimeo or similar video in a browser. It could also be another app like iTunes or Spotify.
- Make sure the media you are going to play is maximized on your screen so that it appears as large as possible in Zoom.
- Click the green Share Screen icon at the bottom of the Zoom meeting window.
- You’ll see a pop-up window where you select your desktop, browser tab, or application – obviously you need to select the correct window that displays your video or audio.
- Check the box in the bottom left that says Share computer sound. This is the key step!
- You can now play the video clip or sound knowing that the other people in the meeting will hear it.
- To stop sending your audio to the meeting, click Stop Sharing at the top of your meeting screen. You can also mute your computer to stop audio sharing but continue presenting, however, you won’t be able to hear other participants in the call. This can be useful in some circumstances if you just want to mute the sound.
