How can we make Microsoft Teams better?

Share system audio during meetings

During meetings we need to be able to share an online video with team members. Videos could be in Stream or Youtube or Vimeo or others. And this includes sharing the video sound. Currently we use normal Teams screen sharing, but all team members on the call can either hear or see, the video/audio are always asynchronous.

    We do NEED an update for Mac users to be able to use the function enabling us teachers to share audios without having to find a work-around, which, though, happens to turn out to not be as much effective & efficient - especially for those of us delivering classes that are designed to help students with their listening & pronunciation skills in language learning. This whole 'coming soon feature for mac' has been a wee bit frustrating, and I assume it wouldn't be that difficult after all!

    this is really urgent for me - I need to have one to one tutorials with my students at Goldsmiths college, and need system audio to watch videos and time based work by my students - please please get these sorted asap.
    thank you

    I appreciate that update - this function is crucial for using Teams for teaching.

    SUPER disappointed in MS right now. Our district locked us into TEAMS. We were "told" by Microsoft that "Mac support was planned for Q3." I teach Audio Production in a very well-known high school, all on Apple Computers. I know it's hard for MS to believe, but some software we must use to teach actually works better on Macs. It is very unfortunate that I cannot share my screen with audio to our students who must learn from home due to CVD19 (about 1/2 of our students are virtual). I am forced to find a work-around, which will likely involve purchasing additional software. The last time MS acknowledged this being a real problem was JUNE 16 - over 4 months ago, which now appears to have been nothing but "fake" support. Not sure MS fully comprehends that this missing TEAMS feature for Apple computers is HURTING STUDENTS by crippling the ability to teach / learn. What it will take to get MS moving on this? Personally - not sure now that MS ever really planned to fix this for Mac users...

    Any news on this? I work for a musical institution where teachers often need to share their audio and be able to talk at the same time. Most of them are Mac users.

    How has this not been added for Macs yet? People have been complaining since July!

    Hi Microsoft team,

    Can you give the community an update about the status as Q4 already started? Thnx

  • Tjerk commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    The second covid-19 wave makes it even more needed when teaching online classes with my macbook.

  • Aurora commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Just so you know, it's no longer Q3 and this is making it impossible for faculty to provide any audio or video classes

  • Brett R commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Just to show the priorities, someone removed a message I posted that was somewhat critical of the lack of progress or even updates. So glad they had time to do that but not update their customers.

    Many teachers on Mac are awaiting this. Currently they need to use additional software such as Rogue Amoeba's Loopback to get around the issue.

  • Nicole Bladzik commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Any update on when this feature will be available for MACS? This article says Q3, but we are in Q4 already. Thanks!

    Please allow system audio to be shared via my iPad when presenting.

    Soundflower is not the fix for Mac users... We really need MS to step up to the plate and add this feature for Mac users. Lots of educators asking for this feature because we're locked into using TEAMS by our school districts, too bad MS isn't listening.
