Use this interactive demo to learn how to share your computer's sound in a Teams meeting.

Quick summary

Sharing system audio in Microsoft Teams lets meeting participants hear sound playing on your computer, such as videos or music. To enable this, use the Share option in your meeting and toggle on the Share system audio setting before presenting your screen.

Steps

Click the Share option from within the active Teams meeting.
Select the Screen, window, tab option from the sharing panel.
Enable the Share system audio toggle before sharing your entire screen to broadcast computer sound to participants.

📌 Why this matters

Sharing system audio in Microsoft Teams is essential for anyone presenting videos, music, or multimedia content in a meeting. Without enabling the Share system audio option, participants can only see your screen but cannot hear any sound your computer plays. This feature is critical for remote trainers, educators, and presenters who rely on audio-visual content to engage their audience. Knowing how to activate this setting ensures a seamless, professional sharing experience in every Teams call.
