The owner decides
Sound plays only if the person at the device allows it: on the other device it is off until the owner ticks „Ton übertragen“ in the question that opens the session. Later the owner can switch it on in the live menu or the live view.
Between your own devices sound runs from the start
With support codes it stays off until the person allows it
On iPhone and iPad the person chooses „Erlauben mit Ton“
The live indicator names „Ton“ while it flows
The „Ton“ button in the session
The „Ton“ button shows the state and appears only when the other device can send sound. On Mac and Windows it sits in the bar, on iPhone, iPad and Android in the „Mehr“ menu, in the browser in the „Austausch“ menu.
„Ton stumm schalten“ only affects you, nothing changes on the other device
„Ton einschalten“ is there for your own devices
„Ton anfragen“ only asks, the person at the device answers
Pauses for secrets
You hear what the device plays, calls and notifications included. A microphone is never recorded. When the device shows a password or a confirmation with a code, sound pauses by itself.
Mac: also pauses while the screen is locked and carries on after unlocking
On Windows it pauses at the Windows prompt
The owner can switch it off at any time; it never starts against their will
On every platform
Mac, Windows and Linux send the device's sound. Android and iPhone share it when they show their screen. You can listen on every platform and in the browser.
Android from version 10; calls and some streaming apps stay silent
Android asks for the audio permission only at the first switch-on
In the browser sound starts after a click or a key press
If your browser cannot play the sound, the button stays grey
When sound is not possible
Some sessions have no sound. The button then shows it as unavailable or is missing.
When only apps are shared
On a Mac without allowed screen recording and at the login window
