How to share audio or video across Share Screen in Zoom

  • Open your Zoom meeting on your Mac or PC Have your media - YouTube video, SoundCloud, Vimeo or similar open in a browser. This could also be another app like iTunes or Spotify.  Ensure whatever media you’re going to play is maximised on your screen to ensure it appears as large as possible in Zoom.  Click on the green Share Screen icon at the bottom of the Zoom meeting window. You will see a pop-up window where you select your desktop, browser tab or application - obviously, you need to select the right window that’s showing your video or audio.  Click the check box in the lower left that says Share computer sound. This is the key step! Now you can play the video clip or sound knowing that the other people in the meeting will hear it.  To stop your audio from being sent to the meeting, click Stop Share at the top of your meeting screen. You can also mute your computer to stop sharing audio but continue presenting, however, you won’t be able to hear others on the call. This could be useful in some circumstances though if you just want to cut the sound.
