LinusCansby I can't find the button you said. Do you have an idea why I don't have it please?

You have to use the Teams app

When you click on the share button, 

This should pop up below and to the Left

You then choose which window you want to share.

    Thanks for your reply,

    Yes that is the Teams app but the laptop is a mac. Realised that it does not show up on mac after reading a few forums. Tried on Windows and found it.

      What bonehead at Microsoft still thinks the whole world is using Windows PCs. Inability to share audio means Teams doesn't meet the minimum standards for real world Enterprise solution (which lives in today's real world of mixed windows and macs)

        apbrenner I think that the developers prioritize the platform where they have the highest number of users if they can't release a feature for both Windows and Mac at the same time. For Mac the share system audio feature is now targeted for release in Q3.

    bvallisdhsfg checkbox appears only for Team Meetings, but if you want to use it in Live Event, then there is no checkbox.  It supposedly should appear after the screen is shared in that auto-hiding box at the top of the screen.  That box can be pinned.
