Share video and 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.

Share video and audio during meetings is released on Windows. Mac support is now planned for CY20Q3.
Note: Live events support for video and audio is tracked in this item – https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/38470144.

Thanks!

There is clear difference - Windows user, Mac user then iOS & Android user. Seems audio features on Mac, iOS & Android are behind. Considering developing, underdeveloped countries maximum educators, students, parents, workers, employees can afford/have Android phones and is most neglected in terms of audio features. Security of Zoom app they can compromise when they can play videos and content from their mobile phones on it. Must have features such as seamlessly sharing audios, videos, both from respective devices. Can't see priority or timeline yet. Hope.

Microsoft needs to ensure feature parity between macOS and Windows, and we need this feature for September 2020 for curriculum delivery in higher education due to the COVID-19 remote learning situation for many users worldwide. Please prioritize and let us know when it's released.

Why taking so long? You’d better work on this, Instead of working on stupid things like moving meeting button on the top. Or maybe Microsoft is delaying the features. Soon when pandemic is over everyone, office, school will be back to real world and leaving Microsoft Teams for sure. Nobody will need Microsoft Teams to share video/audio anymore.

As so many hav said, I spent upgrade bucks on my Mac Pro in prep for using Teams. My Mac is specifically set-up for recording and sound engineering. Irony? OR is it just evil?

So, is this going to happen soon?! There are SO many teachers, including myself, that NEED this to work! I don't understand how a feature as basic as this doesn't work based on operating system. If this is due to some leftover rivalry between the two companies, I would be so very disappointed.

Yes please, now I am left installing Parallels Desktop and Windows 10 on my Mac just so that I can play video for my students. Another purchase to an already expensive year.

This is such an often-used and basic requirement of ours that I never IMAGINED it wouldn't just be part of Teams already, like, from day 1. Now, less than a week away from rollout, we just realized this isn't possible. ... I have the spins.

Please, urgently need this on Mac OSX. If not, Zoom will be the chosen one.

There is 'not too complex' workaround for non-techy folk. (I'm not techy and use this workaround....)
1: Go to "Audio Midi Setup" - included in every Mac.
2: Bottom left - "+" - Create Aggregate Device.
3: Choose 'Built in Output' and 'Built in Microphone' - or select the microphone you are using if you have a different microphone.
4: In sound preferences on your Mac - choose 'Aggregate Device'
5: In Teams - Audio Device=Custom Setup, Speaker=Built-In Output, Microphone= whichever microphone you are using.In use - When playing a video through PowerPoint participants will hear the video in the same way you do - the volume is best controlled through the actual video as using an aggregate device doesn't give you the normal range of controls.
I hope these instructions help someone - I'm not a tech person, just a user who found a way to do this. I didn't need any new software or any downloads.
There are probably some details that you will want to try and adjust - I tested different things with a colleague until we found what worked.
Meanwhile: Microsoft!! What are you thinking...?? Teams is very very challenging to use on a Mac... And don't get me started on USB webcams in Teams....
For what it's worth...I have a colleague who tried to share audio from a PPT in Teams and failed....and she uses a MS Surface Book...

Please. Our students cannot play Youtube on their end so we have to stream audio for instructional purposes. Does anyone have a workaround? This is an absolute necessity right now.

Hi admin, can we please get a realistic update on the Mac integration of sharing system sound? Teams has had many great new features but due to lack of supporting MAC I am having to use WEBEX or ZOOM. It would be awesome to get this as soon as possible. Or at least an update please. Thanks in advance for your communication.

Can we get an update on this please? Semester 1 begins in September and we need to be able to share audio via Mac - otherwise will need to look into other platforms.
Thank you.
