I am seeing the same thing on the macOS Mojave client. This is the app, not the browser (which never allowed sharing of system audio in any case).

Paul_McG In our Team where everyone works on a Mac we've got the same problem: there's no button to include system audio. What could be the problem? 
I've looked into system settings (privacy and sharing) but I think that's all configured ok.

 

The button should be between "Beheer geven" and "Presenteren stoppen", right?

    I'm on a mac and it is at the top on the bar and the check box is not there. Can't figure out where to look in settings to get it.NielsNijmegen

      Sharing system audio is not currently available on the MacOS version of Teams.

      Thanks for the information! It looks I will have to go back to running the Zoom app inside Teams to be able to do my music classes. What a drag....

        danilomezzadri I'm curious how to get the Zoom to work inside the Teams? My school district requires us to use Teams but I feel like Zoom has so many features that teams is lacking. This might be a great option.

      Thanks for the info LinusCansby . I am a Mac user (and a teacher) and this was driving me crazy. At least now I know that there is nothing for me to do. I hope they fix this soon...

      LinusCansby Thanks for your quick reply.

       

      Too bad it's not a priority for them. It has nearly been half a year now. Hope they implement it very soon, for all those teachers on a Mac.

        Vote and comment at the uservoice page, it might get some more attention then.

    My recollection is that it was a little check box in the window you're sharing, not part of the menu items in your screen shot.

     

    What has happened is that the functionality is no longer there. Reasons are unclear. My suspicion is that it has something to do with Apple's constant security/privacy updates but that's just speculation on my part.
