Can I play a video using screen sharing?

The best way to share a YouTube, Vimeo, or Canvas Studio video is through the built-in Share external video option.

However, if you want to use Screen sharing to share a video, which, if you are recording the session, will include the external video in the recording, then follow the steps below.

For Chrome on Windows, you can select Share system audio when either sharing Entire Screen or Chrome Tab.

After you select Share system audio, select the thumbnail of the screen, then click Share.  Users will see your entire screen and hear the system audio.

For using Chrome on Mac OS X or Chromebook, you can share system audio only when screen sharing a Chrome Tab.
