Hi @deepesh,

Welcome to the community!

The Zoom Instant Video SDK doesn’t currently support the sharing of audio, I believe it will be released in a future version of the Video SDK.

There’s a similar thread here: [How to share computer audio using Video SDK](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/how-to-share-computer-audio-using-video-sdk/48965)

Thanks,  
Alex

Hey @deepesh,

Thanks for using the dev forum!

@alexmayo is correct, we are hoping to have an interface for sharing audio into the session manually soon.

Thanks!  
Michael

Thanks for the reply @alexmayo & @Michael_Condon ,  
@Michael_Condon, do you have any approximate timeline for when to expect this to be released?

Hey @deepesh,

Unfortunately, I can not guarantee a timeline. However, this is currently in development and I do not anticipate a long wait.

Thanks!
