All,

Zoom and Teams on windows does support sending Audio output to your meeting. In the share screen option for teams, there is an audio option. Zoom there is a similar option. WebEx from cisco last time I checked did not have this ability.

I have used Zoom and Teams multiple times to share audio such as NVDA or Jaws.

TIP: If you want to share an iDevice like iPhone, you have to use a Mac and Quick Player. This will record and play your mobile device. Then you can use Teams and Zoom. Be aware, I have not validated if Teams on Mac supports audio in the screen share. I would be surprised if it did not. Android I have not looked at. But if you can get the android screen and audio showing on your windows or Mac. Then I don't see any reason why it would not work.

PowerPoint also can do screen recording now.

There is a tool called virtual cable on windows that can simulate multiple audio inputs from different devices to be sent via your audio output. I don't use this tool any more due to the above.


I hope this helps.

Sean
