How to Share iPhone Audio in Zoom & Teams Calls: A Direct Guide
Need to play music, app sounds, or audio clips during Zoom or Microsoft Teams calls directly from your iPhone? Sharing device audio elevates presentations and collaboration. Here's your concise "how-to" for both platforms:
Zoom Calls: Seamless Audio Sharing
Initiate Screen Share: In your Zoom iPhone app, during a call, tap "Share Content" and select "Screen Broadcast".
Automatic Audio Inclusion: Zoom typically automatically includes device audio when you choose "Screen Broadcast." Look for prompts like "Share Device Audio" during setup and confirm it's enabled if visible.
Play Your Audio: Start playback of your music, sound effect, or app audio on your iPhone. Participants should hear it perfectly, alongside your screen view.
End Share: Tap "Stop Share" when finished.
Microsoft Teams Calls: Screen Share for Audio
Start Screen Share: In your Teams iPhone app, during a call, tap the "More actions" button (…). Select "Share screen".
System Audio Integration (Potentially Less Reliable): Teams should include system audio when screen sharing from iPhone. However, this can be less consistent than Zoom's audio sharing.
Test Audio is Crucial: Before relying on Teams audio sharing, rigorously test with another participant. Confirm they can clearly hear your iPhone audio. If system audio fails, consider using your iPhone speaker and microphone as a less ideal fallback.
Stop Sharing: Tap "Stop Sharing" to end screen sharing.
Essential Audio Sharing Tips (Zoom & Teams):
Always Test First: Before important calls, test your audio sharing in both Zoom and Teams to guarantee functionality and appropriate volume levels.
Mute Your Mic (Optional): If you're only sharing device audio and not speaking, mute your microphone within Zoom/Teams to minimize background noise.
iPhone Volume Control: Manage the shared audio volume directly using your iPhone's volume buttons.
Stable Internet: A strong and stable internet connection is vital for smooth screen and audio transmission.
Inform Call Participants: Let others know you will be sharing device audio for context.
By following these direct steps and tips, you'll effectively share iPhone audio in both Zoom and Teams, enriching your calls with sound.
