Google Meet Rolls Out System Audio Sharing for Presentations

Use requires Chrome 142 on macOS 14.02 or Windows 11 with the option off by default.

Overview

  • Presenters now see an option to include device audio when sharing a window or their entire screen, letting attendees hear all computer sound.
  • Availability starts today for Rapid Release domains, with Scheduled Release domains set to receive the feature beginning January 13, 2026.
  • The feature requires Chrome version 142 or later and currently supports macOS 14.02 or newer and Windows 11.
  • On macOS, first-time use prompts an OS permission request, and the audio option must be toggled on for each presentation.
  • Google notes that users with adaptive or merged audio setups may still be limited to sharing audio from Chrome tabs only during this rollout.
