Use this interactive demo to learn how to share tab audio during a Zoom meeting.

Quick summary

Sharing audio on Zoom lets participants hear sound from a browser tab during a live meeting. Using the Share Screen and Also Share Tab Audio options ensures your audience hears music, video sound, or any browser-based audio in real time.

Steps

Navigate to the menu bar, then click Share Screen.
Tap Chrome Tab from the sharing options.
Select the specific tab that contains the audio you want to share.
Switch on the toggle next to Also Share Tab Audio.
Tap Share to start sharing the selected tab and its audio during your Zoom meeting.

📌 Why this matters

Sharing audio on Zoom is essential for presenters who need participants to hear browser-based sound — such as video playback, music, or embedded media — during a live meeting. Without enabling the 'Also Share Tab Audio' toggle, screen sharing transmits only visuals, leaving remote attendees unable to hear the content. This feature is critical for remote training sessions, virtual events, and collaborative reviews where synchronized audio and video must reach every participant clearly. Knowing how to share tab audio in Zoom removes a common friction point and improves the overall meeting experience for both hosts and attendees.
