Hi, screen sharing with audio is sadly only supported from Chrome and only for Chrome-tabs.

@fkwp It is supported on the desktop app? I tried with a friend and I couldn't hear his audio.

It's not low hanging since Chrome only allows audio sharing for browser tabs to my knowledge. It's also a security sensitive area to capture the system audio output. I guess, it requires a sane way to request OS system audio output API prior to get this into WebRTC/Browsers.
