Is it possible broadcast audio with screensharing with WebRTC

Question

is it possible broadcast audio with screensharing with WebRTC? Simple calling getUserMedia with audio: true fails by permission denied error. Is there any workeround which could be used to broadcast audio also? Will be audio implemented beside screensharing?

Thanks.

To share the audio track of the screen share you can use getDisplayMedia instead of getUserMedia. Docs.

navigator.mediaDevices.getDisplayMedia({audio: true, video: true})

This is currently only supported in Chrome / Edge and it is only supported when using the "Chrome Tab" sharing option. You'll see a checkmark for Share audio in the dialog box.
