How To Fix Discord Screen Share No Audio On Chrome

Is your Discord screen share working but there’s no audio in Chrome?

Many users have complained that since recent updates, screen sharing through Chrome no longer transmits sound properly during calls.

The screen visuals may show up fine, but the audio is completely missing, which defeats the purpose if you’re sharing media or doing a walkthrough.

Audio is an important part of screen sharing, especially during group hangouts or remote collaborations, and when it fails, it ruins the experience.

A lot of factors ranging from missing browser permissions, using the wrong tab settings, or issues with Chrome’s audio capture can cause Discord screen share audio not to work.

In this guide, you will learn how you can fix Discord screen share not playing audio on Chrome.

Here’s the TL;DR if you’re short on time:

Make sure “Share Tab Audio” is enabled
Use Chrome, not other browsers
Give microphone permissions
Close other apps using your mic
Use the latest version of Chrome
Restart Discord and Chrome

Why Does Discord Screen Share Have No Sound on Chrome?

There are a few reasons:

You didn’t select the tab audio correctly
Chrome doesn’t have mic permissions
You’re using a window or full-screen share instead of a tab
Chrome is outdated
There’s an extension or another app hijacking your sound

But don’t worry.

It’s all fixable.

Fix 1: Use “Share Tab Audio”

When you share your screen in Discord, make sure to pick the “Chrome Tab” option, not the whole window or entire screen.

Once you choose the tab, look at the bottom-left corner of the pop-up.

There’s a little checkbox that says “Share tab audio”.

If that’s unchecked, nobody will hear anything, no matter how loud you blast the video.

Make sure that box is checked.

Then click Share.

Fix 2: Give Chrome Microphone Permissions

Even though you’re not using your mic directly, Chrome sometimes needs mic permissions to process tab audio.

Weird, but it’s true.

Here’s how to fix it:

Go to chrome://settings/content/microphone
Make sure mic access is allowed
Scroll down and find Discord (or the site you’re using)
Set it to “Allow”

Also, double-check this in your system settings:

On Windows: Settings > Privacy > Microphone > Let apps access your mic
On Mac: System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Microphone

Fix 3: Close Other Apps Using the Mic

Apps like Zoom, Skype, or even voice recorders can sometimes grab exclusive control of your audio input/output.

Close those apps, especially if they’re running in the background.

Then restart both Chrome and Discord and try again.

Fix 4: Update Chrome

An outdated version of Chrome might break compatibility with Discord’s screen sharing.

To update:

Click the three dots in the top right
Go to Help > About Google Chrome
It’ll check for updates automatically — if there’s one, install it and restart

Now try sharing again.

Fix 5: Use Discord Desktop App Instead

Honestly, the web version of Discord doesn’t always play nice with screen sharing audio.

If none of these work, switch to the Discord desktop app.

It has better screen sharing support and tends to be more stable when you’re trying to share both video and sound.

Fix 6: Restart Everything (Classic Fix That Works)

Sometimes the most chaotic bugs get fixed with the oldest trick in the book: restart everything.

Restart Discord
Restart Chrome
Restart your computer (especially if you haven’t in a while)

Then try the steps again.

Conclusion

Discord screen share audio not working in Chrome is annoying, but it’s not permanent.

Usually, it comes down to a permission or setting being off.

If none of these fixes work, hop on Reddit or Discord forums to see if there’s a wider issue.

Sometimes it’s just a temporary glitch on their end.

But if you do find the fix that works for you, share it.

A lot of people are struggling with silent streams, your solution might just save someone’s movie night.
