Sharing device audio during a Google Meet

What’s changing?

Sharing your screen is an essential part of collaborating and presenting in Google Meet. Often, you may also want to share audio as part of your presentation. Google are excited to announce that you can now share your device audio when presenting a specific window or your entire screen. Previously, you could only share audio from the specific tab you were presenting.

How can I do this?

  • Click Share
  • Window
  • Select the appropriate window
  • Enable the sliding button beside “Also share system audio”
  • Click Share at the bottom
  • You will now see “Presentation audio” highlighted at the top of your screen
