You can screen-share video on Forte. Let's get it working!
Because Forte is browser-based, the audio source must come from a Chrome tab to share audio through Forte.
To share a video with sound through Forte:
-
Click the screen share button in the toolbar
-
Choose Chrome tab and select the tab that holds the video you wish to share.
-
In the lower-right corner of the window, there is the option to share tab audio. Make sure that this is toggled on.
Any other browser-based media will stream with audio so if you would like to share a Spotify track with your student/teacher, open the track in the browser version of Spotify, and then you will be able to share the audio.
Sharing an MP3 or MP4 in Forte: Open a blank Chrome tab and drag your file into the tab. This creates a browser version of your media file, and you can then share the audio through that tab.
