Sharing your screen and game audio

Screen sharing is easy to get right; audio is what usually gets missed. Here's how to make sure your team hears the game, not just sees it.

  1. Zoom

    When you start a screen share, look for the option to share sound and tick it before you confirm. Without it, your team sees the game but hears nothing.

  2. Google Meet

    Share a browser tab rather than the whole screen — Meet offers to include the tab's audio when you do. Pick the game's tab and enable the audio option.

  3. Discord

    Use the screen-share option in your voice channel, and check that the sound toggle is on when you choose the window or screen to share.

  4. The Chrome tab trick

    In Chrome, sharing a single tab instead of the full screen is the smoothest way to send audio. The game's sound comes through cleanly, without your notifications tagging along.

Do a quick test before you start: run a few seconds of the game and ask whether the team hears it. Better to fix audio at minute one than mid-puzzle.
