While screen sharing in Adobe Connect is just that, 'Document' sharing in Adobe Connect is so much more.

What these do is to allow you to create a "Virtual Webcam" that can mix down desktop captures, IP cameras, multiple webcams etc. Not quite what you want, however They can also capture multiple audio sources including desktop audio and make them available as the audio from the "Virtual Webvcam".

So you can mix your headset microphone with your desktop audio and then use that as your "Microphone" in Adobe Connect.

Then any audio you hear, your attendees will too Note, this software also includes a basic mixer to allow you to set the audio levels and independantly mute each audio source if required. This is a great suggestion, but only for those with the technical expertise.

Adobe needs to add the ability to share system audio in a screen share in the same way you can do this in other platforms e.

Zoom and Teams. Many presenters would not be able to install and configure OBS, or want to. Hello, I have installed ManyCam on my laptop and your post interested me in.
