How to Share iPhone Audio in Zoom & Teams Calls: A Direct Guide

Sharing device audio during Zoom or Teams calls can enhance presentations and collaboration. Here’s how to do it on both platforms:

Zoom Calls: Sharing Audio

1. Start Screen Share:

   • During a Zoom call, tap "Share Content" and select "Screen Broadcast".

2. Enable Device Audio:

   • Zoom usually includes device audio automatically. If prompted, confirm "Share Device Audio" is enabled.

3. Play Your Audio:

   • Start playing music, app sounds, or audio clips on your iPhone. Participants will hear the audio along with your screen.

4. Stop Sharing:

   • Tap "Stop Share" when done.

Microsoft Teams Calls: Sharing Audio

1. Start Screen Share:

   • During a Teams call, tap the "More actions" button (…) and select "Share screen".

2. System Audio Integration:

   • Teams should include system audio when screen sharing, but this can be less reliable than Zoom.

3. Test Audio:

   • Before important calls, test with another participant to ensure they can hear your iPhone audio clearly. If it fails, use your iPhone speaker and microphone as a backup.

4. Stop Sharing:

   • Tap "Stop Sharing" to end.

Essential Tips for Both Platforms:

• Test First: Always test audio sharing before important calls to ensure it works and the volume is appropriate.

• Mute Your Mic (Optional): If you’re only sharing audio and not speaking, mute your mic to reduce background noise.

• Control Volume: Adjust the shared audio volume using your iPhone’s volume buttons.

• Stable Internet: Ensure a strong and stable internet connection for smooth audio and screen sharing.

• Inform Participants: Let others know you’ll be sharing audio for context.

By following these steps, you can easily share iPhone audio during Zoom and Teams calls, making your presentations and collaborations more engaging.
