inet: Getting Audio with Google Meets

Ok, this is a good one. If you are using Google Meet extensively, then the Google Meet app works well; it’s just an encapsulated browser, but still.

The real mystery has been trying to get the audio to actually flow. Zoom does an incredible job of this, but with Google Meet, it looks like you can only share audio from another Chrome/Brave/Chromium Tab. This makes sense, it’s a browser application so hooking the system audio sounds pretty hard.

The trick then is to select Share a Tab rather than Share a Window, and you will see. Good luck.

And as usual with Microsoft Teams or Zoom make sure you turn on “Share Sound” normally this is off but it works against all apps.
