no sound on google meet presentation

Can’t share audio during Google Meet presentation? How to fix

Presenting your screen or part of your screen is a fairly neat utility in Meet that can help you communicate ideas with the click of a button. If you are a teacher, then this will be your go-to tool to help your class follow along with your teaching pattern.

However, you might have noticed that while sharing a video feed is fairly easy during presentations, sharing audio is not. The attendees might be able to hear you, but they won’t get any audio from what you are presenting. Why does this happen? Let’s find out!

Why isn’t audio shared in Meet while presenting?

By default, Meet is set to share audio from your microphone no matter the meeting. This means that even if you decide to present your screen with content that has audio, Meet will only share audio from your Microphone unless the correct device has been selected in the Settings. Most PCs manufactured after 2013 have a nifty utility bundled along with their sound drivers called ‘Stereo Mix’.

Stereo Mix allows you to layer audio from different input sources into one single audio stream which can then be routed to any source. This will allow you to share audio from your presentation within Meet while also being able to use your microphone. Let’s take a look at how you can use this. 

Fix #1: Make sure you are not muted

The icon should turn white indicating that you are no longer muted.

Fix #2: Set up Stereo Mix

If you are still unable to share your presentation audio, then it’s time to set up Stereo Mix on your device. Follow the guide below to get started. 

1. Ensure that Stereo Mix is enabled

We will first need to enable Stereo Mix on your PC. If you have enabled Stereo Mix before and enabled it as a device then you can skip this guide and move to the next one. 

Stereo Mix has now been set up on your device and we are now ready to use it in Google Meet while presenting. 

2. Select Stereo Mix within Meet 

Join a Google Meet meeting as you normally would and then click on ‘Present now’ at the bottom of your screen. 

And that’s it! Your attendees should now be able to hear your presentation audio positively!

I am still unable to Share my audio

If you are still facing issues sharing your audio while presenting in Google Meet then there are a couple of things you should do:

• Restart your PC
• Ensure Microphone access is enabled for all apps in the Windows Settings. 
• Ensure no OEM software is blocking access to your microphone. 
• Use Chrome for the best results. 

If you still face issues, it might be time to drop in a support request to Google regarding the same. You should also try presenting audio from a different device to see if that works.

If this is the case, then it might be an issue specific to your device which will require further troubleshooting and in the worst case, could be an issue at the hardware level. 

We hope this guide helped solve most of your audio issues during presentations in Google Meet. If you have any more questions or face any more issues, feel free to reach out to us using the comments below.

How to Share Audio in Google Meet

Jessie Richardson Read more January 16, 2022

Working from the comfort of your home has a lot of benefits, especially when you get to use amazing conferencing apps like Google Meet. However, when you share your screen, you’ll notice that the audio feature might be missing.

For now, Google Meet hasn’t come up with an ideal solution, but there are a couple of workarounds you can try. In this article, you’ll learn all about the various options available. The next time you start a meeting with a YouTube clip, everyone will be able to hear it.

Google Presentations with PC Sound

Preparing for an online work meeting is slightly different from doing it in the office, mainly because you have to ensure all the technical prerequisites are in order. If you’re a Windows user, you can ensure that the instructional video you’ve prepared has the accompanying audio or share other videos, animations, gifs, music, and more in your meetings .

Currently, you have three options. You can change the microphone settings in Windows 10 and Google Meets or use the “Present” option in Google Meets on Chrome. The “Present a Chrome tab” feature was “fully” released in May of 2021 . Here are your options.

Option 1: Adjust Microphone Settings to Share Audio in Google Meet

Here’s how to adjust your microphone settings in Windows 10.

After completing the above steps, the participants in the meeting won’t hear your voice because you set the studio for PC sounds. Therefore, ensure you let everyone know that’s going to happen before you make the changes. Otherwise, the scenario might create confusion.

After playing the audio you want, you can go back and switch the setting to your default microphone. Going from one microphone setting to another might not be the ideal solution, but it’s the only one available at the moment.

Option 2: Use “Present a Chrome” Tab to Share Audio in Google Meet

The official feed from the Google Workspace team shows that the “Present…” option is available for G Suite users, but we confirmed that it also works for general Google accounts. The feature only displays the tab you currently selected. However, a notification appears when you switch to a new one, asking if you want to switch to the current tab. Here’s how to use the “Present a Chrome tab” function.

Option 3: Use Another Device to Share Audio in Google Meet

Aside from changing your microphone settings in Windows 10 and Google Meets, it’s also possible to use your smartphone device simultaneously by using the “Use a phone for audio ” feature. Therefore, you can talk at the same time as presenting the video or images from your PC. However, using your phone for audio in Meets is currently limited to Google Workspace hosts only . It also mutes the PC’s audio while on the call.

How to Mute Participants on Google Meet

If you’re planning on sharing audio during your Google Meet presentation, you’re probably worried about too much noise or chatter. It would be nice if a “Mute All” button existed to click during active audio sharing.

Fortunately, Google Meet has just started introducing an option to mute everyone as of May 2021 by providing it to Google Meet hosts in Google Workspace for Education Fundamentals and Education Plus domains. All other users have to wait until further notice. For businesses and general users, it doesn’t mean all is lost. You can attempt to use a third-party browser add-on , or you can mute Google Meet participants individually with just a few clicks.

Google Meet: Mute Everyone using Individual Selection

The most guaranteed way to mute everyone during your Google Meet presentation is to mute each participant, one by one unless you can use “Mute All.” Here’s how to mute everyone individually.

• While you’re presenting, go to the “People” icon in the top right corner of the Google Meet window.
• On the list of participants, select a name you want to mute.
• You will have three icons show up, click on the middle one ( “microphone icon” ) .
• You will be asked to confirm if you want to mute this participant. Press “Mute.”

Now, this person’s microphone will get turned off. You can repeat the process as many times as you need if you want to mute everyone .

Google Meet: Mute Everyone using the “Mute all” Feature

When you use Google Meet for educational purposes, with many students participating, it’s helpful to know how to mute any unnecessary noise, primarily since teachers often use audio and video clips in classes. For those using Meet for Education Plus domains or Google Workspace for Education Fundamentals (as previously mentioned), you’re in luck. Feel free to mute everyone in one swoop. Just don’t forget that you cannot unmute . So, include something in your presentation to let participants know they can unmute their microphones as needed! Here’s how to mute everyone on Google Meet.

Google Meet: Mute for Listening, Then Unmute for Talking

Sometimes it’s hard not to want to jump in with comments, even when it’s not the right moment. If you’re the one sharing the audio, you want everyone to hear it first. Perhaps you’ll even have to resort to muting participants, especially if you’re dealing with students.

Second, until Google Meet figures out a better way for audio sharing, you can always switch from one microphone setting to another, as discussed above or use your smartphone to supply the audio. It’s not perfect, but it does the job.

Fortunately, Google Meet has come a long way in audio capabilities, but there’s definitely room for improvement.

2 Ways to Share Video With Audio in Google Meet

Google Meet has become the go-to platform for anyone who is working or studying from home amid the COVID-19 pandemic. While working from home has its merits, we are at the mercy of the technology to connect and share with our colleagues. 

One common issue faced by Google Meet users is that they can’t share audio along with the video. The video you present will be played without any sound by default which puts users in a rather frustrating situation.

Luckily there are ways you can bypass this issue and play the video with sound in Google Meet. And I am going to tell you about not one but two ways to share video with audio in Google Meet, read on to find out.

Method #1: Present a Google Chrome Tab

This is the official solution to share audio with the video made available by Google itself. You can use the Present a Chrome Tab option to present an online video and audio to other participants of a Google Meet.

While the official announcement from the Google team stated that only G Suite users can access this feature, it appears to be working fine for regular Google accounts. 

The basic benefit of this feature is that you can present a single Chrome tab that you have selected to the attendees of a meeting. However, you can switch between tabs to select a different tab at any moment. 

You can follow these simple steps to present a video and audio combination to your Google Meet attendees:

Step 1. Join a Google Meet or start a new Meet.

Step 2. Click on the Present Now button that usually sits at the bottom of the screen.

Step 3. Click on Choose A Tab option from the next menu and you will be taken to a list of current Chrome Tabs.

Step 4. Choose the tab containing the video you want to present and then click on the Share button at the bottom of the window.

Chrome will inform you that you are currently sharing a tab with Google Meet attendees.

Switching shared tabs

You can switch the tab you are currently sharing during Google Meet through these steps:

Step 1. Open the tab you want to switch to from the currently shared Chrome tab.

Step 2. Locate the prompt at the top of the page that says “Share this tab instead” and click on it.

Confirm that you are now presenting the tab you had selected from the prompt.

Method #2: Adjust your Windows 10 microphone settings

One way to share video and audio at the same time in Google Meet is by tweaking your Windows 10 microphone settings. You can do that with the help of these steps:

Step 1. Open the start menu and click on the Setting options.

Step 2. Open System settings and then click on the Sound option in the left panel.

Step 3. Click on Manage sound devices and find input devices.

Step 4. Enable the Stereo Mix option and while you are at it make sure that the microphone option is available along with the Stereo Mix option. 

Step 5. Now go to Google Meet and click on settings, open the audio option and set the Stereo Mix as your default microphone.

Play the video you want to present, and your Google Meet participants should be able to hear the audio from the video you are playing.

Bonus method: Use your mobile device to share audio 

There is another option to share audio along with the video by using your mobile phone’s mic to talk while the video is being played through your PC.

However, this feature is currently available for Google Workplace hosts only and normal users can’t access it. All you have to do is select the “Use a phone for audio” feature available to Google Workplace hosts and your phone will now serve as a mic so you can speak through it while presenting a video from your PC.

How can I stop presenting in Google Meet?

Once you have finished presenting the video or Chrome tab in Google Meet you will eventually have to stop presenting it. Stopping your presentation is easy and all you have to do is this:

Step 1. Find the You are presenting button at the bottom of the screen and click on it.

Step 2. Click on the stop presenting option to stop your presentation.

While Google Meet is a powerful tool, it still lacks some functionalities, such as the inability to share audio along with your videos. However, using the solutions I have shared with you in this article, you can easily overcome this issue and present clear audio with your videos.

My personal favorite is the share a tab method as it doesn’t require making any changes to settings and doesn’t require a special type of account to use.

He has training as a Microsoft Certified Professional and has covered more Microsoft-related guides on these platforms.

• You should use Google Meet on the Chrome browser as it may save you from further troubleshooting.
• Also, ensure you have high-speed internet before proceeding to any solutions.
• On slower computers, you may have to end the apps running in the background to free up system resources.

Basic Fixes

• Suspend other background activities and apps – Running other background activities, like downloads, may cause lag. You may also close other unused applications to free up system resources.
• Avoid using background wallpapers – Google Meet offers background wallpaper functions, but they are resource-intensive.
• Update Google Chrome – The Google Meet presentation lag may not be related to Google Meet; an outdated computer may have certain bugs that trigger the problem.

Fix 1: Lower the Display Resolution

Are you using a 4K monitor or laptop with a 4K display to conduct Google Meet calls? In that case, Google Meet will try to render everything in the 4K resolution during the presentation. You should lower the display resolution to avoid lag.

Step 1: Open the Settings app on Windows using Windows + I keys.

Step 2: Go to System > select the Display menu.

Step 3: Select Display resolution under the Scale & layout menu and select a lower resolution .

Open Google Chrome and deliver a presentation during Google Meet. You should see a drastic reduction in lag.

Fix 2: Update Display and GPU Drivers

If your computer’s display and GPU drivers are outdated, you might experience heavy lag during Google Meet presentations. You must update the display and GPU drivers from the Device Manager menu to fix this. You can use driver update programs or follow the steps below.

Step 1: Right-click the Start menu and click Device Manager .

Step 2: Expand the Display adaptors menu, right-click on your display driver , and select Update driver .

Step 4: Click Automatically search for drivers , then reboot your PC and try delivering presentations over Google Meet.

Fix 3: Turn Off Hardware Acceleration

Turning off hardware acceleration is a valid fix if the GPU is outdated, weak, or overloaded. Hardware acceleration puts a greater burden on the GPU. By disabling it, you reduce the burden and kill the lag.

Step 1: Press Windows + I to open the Settings app.

Step 2: Go to the System section and select Display .

Step 3: Click Graphics in the Related settings section.

Step 4: Click Change default graphics settings , then toggle off Hardware acceleration in the next windows.

Fix 4: Use Your Phone for Audio

If you organized the meeting through a Google Workspace account, use a phone for audio in a video meeting. This option is great if you have poor internet connections. Follow the steps below.

Step 1: Once you are in the waiting room, before joining a meeting, click on Join and use your phone for audio .

Step 2: Input your phone number in the provided field and click on Call me and join . This should initiate a call to your phone.

Step 3: Answer the call and follow the instructions to use the phone as audio.

Fix: Google Meet Unable to See Presentation

Business meetings are anything but fun. It’s all about the numbers, the KPIs, evaluating everybody’s performance, and so on. Meeting presentations are very boring, and everybody agrees to that. Even though everybody has moved to the digital realm, it seems that meeting presentations are here to stay.

But there are moments when the other meeting attendees can’t see the screen you’re sharing, or their presentation won’t show up on your screen. If you’re experiencing this problem on Google Meet, follow the troubleshooting solutions below.

• 1.1 Quick Fixes
• 1.2 Enable Spotlight View
• 1.3 Set Video Options to Auto
• 1.4 Power Wash Your Chromebook
• 1.5 Allow Your Browser to Record Your Screen
• 1.6 Conclusion

How to Fix Google Meet Presentation Issues

Quick fixes.

One of the quickest ways to solve this problem is to quit the meeting, disable all the browser extensions, and rejoin the meeting using Chrome. Google Meet supports Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari, but Google’s browser is less prone to bugs than other browsers.

On the other hand, other users confirmed they solved the problem by installing the Google Meet Grid View Fix extension . Check if this method yields positive results for you as well.

If you’re using the Google Meet app, log out and uninstall the app. Then restart your device and reinstall the app. Additionally, make sure your browser and operating system are up-to-date.

Several users solved this issue by hitting the chat icon on the right side. Do that and check if the presenter’s screen shows up.

Enable Spotlight View

Make sure you did not pin the host or the presentation screen. Instead, use the Spotlight layout. Go to Settings , select Change layout , and enable Spotlight Mode .

This full-screen layout gives you the option to display the presentation on the entire screen.

Set Video Options to Auto

• First, join your meeting and then click on Settings .
• Select the Video Option .
• Then click on the Receive Resolution option.

• Check if the presentation is showing now.

Power Wash Your Chromebook

Other users fixed this problem by deleting their local profiles. If you’re on ChromeOS, power-wash your device.

• Sign out of your account, and then press and hold down the Ctrl + Alt + Shift + R keys.

• Keep in mind this action will reset all your settings and wipe out all user information from your device.
• Follow the on-screen instructions to reset your Chromebook.
• Then sign back in and check the results.

Allow Your Browser to Record Your Screen

If you use a Macbook, you need to allow Meet and your browser to record and share your screen.

• Navigate to System Preferences , and select Security & Privacy .
• Then navigate to Privacy and select Screen recording in the left-hand pane.
• On the right-hand pane, tick the Chrome or Safari box.

If other Google Meet users can’t see your screen when you’re presenting, or the other way around, disable your browser extensions. Then switch to Google Chrome if you’re not using it already. Enable Spotlight view, set the Receive resolution settings to Auto, and check if that helps. Did you manage to fix the problem? Share your feedback in the comments below.

Hi purrgirl1,

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities! I see you are having an issue with Google Meet, and I'd like to help get you to the right place for assistance.

Since Google Meet is not an Apple product, you'll want to reach out to the app developer for assistance. Your microphone is working with your voice, so we know that the mic itself is working as expected.
