Muting while paying video

[kriedber]

Hello,

If you are the host sharing your screen to play a video, is it possible to mute yourself without muting the sound of the video?  I would like to be able to get some work done in the background while playing a video for meeting attendees, but I don't want them to hear my typing of talking to a colleague!

Thanks!
Kari

It is possible if you're selective about which audio you're using for what.  You may find it helpful to have the system call you on your cell phone or another non-voip line.  The on-going challenge will be the other applications you're sharing on the same computer on which you're hosting.  I'd recommend exploring your computer settings in a practice session.  You may have to change individual sound settings and application settings to really accomplish what you're trying to do.

Yes you can share a video from Youtube, Vimeo, etc. or an audio/video file and be on mute.
