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.

Thank you for your feedback. We are happy to announce that Mac support for sharing system audio is now available to all Mac users.

This is definitely working now but with some strange behaviour - I have a Share System Audio button and that does share the audio with participants. But....I can't hear the audio myself or hear them. Also some feedback if I didn't mute my own microphone. This is new behaviour since the last update...
Anyone?
I have: Microsoft Teams Version 1.4.00.8872. It was last updated on 21/05/2021

I do not see this options in Teams. I am using the latest Macbook PRO 13" with the A1 chip. The sw version of Teams is: 1.4.00.11161. It was last updated on 12/05/2021.
Anything I'm doing wrong? I have tried to test this with "meet now" and other colleagues but I do not see the option to enable audio in the initial sharing or after I have started sharing...
I'm not in public-preview, but I was assuming that this functionality would be available to all by now?? -

What determines that you get this this setting - does it have to be enabled via configuration or do you just need to be on a certain build?

Apparently it is now working! Finally! It was a great surprise to see the option share system audio available today at my Microsoft Teams for Mac.

I have a Late 2013 iMac with Catalina 10.15.7.
When sharing system audio the Meeting Participants hear the audio but I cannot hear the audio nor their voices.
Can anyone help? -

This seems to be working now folks - I dont have public preview but noticed today that I do have the option to include computer sound when presenting. It also seems to work with no issues - did have to download a driver but that was no problem.

So many people, including me, are so frustrated about this. Is there a workaround for this?

Come on Microsoft. This has taken long enough. Your competitors are walking away with this. Our ICT Dept. won't allow us to have the Public Preview but we have to use Teams for teaching. I teach Sound Engineering! What a failure this past year has been. We were told this feature was coming Q3 2020 and still we don't have it in Q2 2021.

Maybe Bill Gates took the prototype with him when he left the BOD last month. PLEASE MS FIX THIS.

It's a real shame that such an important feature is still in testing. For those in need of a solution urgently, I've found Rogue Amoeba's Loopback software invaluable: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IosA17Popss

Nothing new around here! How long will it take for Microsoft to make this feature available for everyone? (General Availability).

I really need to be able to share files that have audio embedded in movies files with my team. Otherwise, MS Teams is not suited for working with film production companies.

I am now convinced that you’ll never manage to do this in time for the pandemic and work from home period most of us are facing. This should have been your priority from day one.
