While using Owlbear Rodeo you can share your computer's audio to other party members.
To accomplish this Owlbear Rodeo uses the audio portion of a browsers screen share support. This means that sharing audio relies on a browser that supports this functionality (currently this is Google Chrome and the new Microsoft Edge). What kind of audio you can share depends on the operating system you are using. Currently Google Chrome on Windows allows you to share the audio of any tab or an entire screen while on MacOS you can only share the audio of a tab. The limited support is why this feature is marked as experimental.
Note: Even though sharing audio requires a supported browser, receiving audio works on all browsers
To use audio sharing click the Share Audio button in the bottom left to open the Audio Sharing Screen then click Start Sharing. The browser will then ask to share your screen, click on the Chrome Tab option and select your tab. Ensure to select the Share Audio Checkbox and finally click Share.
Note: Although Owlbear Rodeo uses the screen sharing functionality, only your audio is sent to the other players in the party
To stop sharing your audio you can either click Stop on the share banner at the top of the screen or open the Audio Sharing Screen and click Stop Sharing.
