Hi
According to this recent blog post it should be possible to share the audio along the desktop. Unfortunately I see the checkbox only when sharing a single Chrome tab and not when sharing the full screen or a desktop window.

I tried with Google Meet and the option is available.

I'm using latest Chrome 87.0.4280.141 on MacOS.

Could you please send a screenshot of what you see when you are in the screen sharing in the full screen option?

Apologies, I prepared it but forgot to attach!

After checking with the Dev team, this option is only available on Windows.
Apparently it is some limitation of the OS that does not allow this to work on Mac.

Thanks for the feedback.

FYI Google Meet allows this... Maybe it's a requirement when asking for permissions?

Sharing the audio of another tab works fine, the limitation is only with screen sharing. So on Mac:
- Sharing your youtube tab in Chrome = audio OK
- Sharing your whole screen = only the visual will be shared, not the audio played

Did you see the Google Meet screenshot?
 
Hello, we did see the screenshot. We admittedly had to translate the tab you had selected as "Chrome Tab" (Scheda Chrome) which is indeed the functionality we do offer on Mac.

Note that the Google Meet tabs may be in different positions to ours, our first tab is 'screen share'.

APOLOGIES!
Indeed neither Meet allows this, I was misled by options ordering!
