Teams Live Events and audio
There will come support for system audio in a meeting when sharing desktop soon in Teams meeting, even if they haven't specific said that it will also support system audio when sharing in a Live Event I think it will be supported.
We have used a HDMI to USB device for our customers that want to share audio from a computer, the device we used is from Magewell but there is many different brands. You have one computer where you present and share audio, connect computer with HDMI with the HDMI2USB device and connect the USB cable to and second computer. Join the live event as an presenter from the second computer, the screen from first computer will show as an video device and the audio will show up as an audio device/microphone.
If you want to show the presentation from the first computer on a projector screen or similar you have to split the HDMI signal first.
I made it working with a simpler configuration. Just used a piece of software called "Virtual Audio Cable" (https://www.vb-audio.com/Cable/) that is redirecting system audio to a virtual mic device.
indeed it's working even with one pc but every time I play a video into a live event I have to switch the mic configuration to "CABLE Output (VB-Audio Virtual Cable)", and remember to mute all the other presenters otherwise their talkover is cutting off audio from video playback.
gpetino73 Worked excellent for us. Thank you Sir!
