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
  • On a Windows PC without a sound output device

  • Sound for connections to RDP computers too

Everything step by step, for every platform:

The session: view, displays, special keys, system commands, connection

よくある質問

Does the person at the other device hear me?

No. DeskRanger sends only the sound the device plays, never a microphone, on your side or the other.

Can someone switch sound on secretly?

No. On other people's devices it is off until the owner agrees, and the live indicator names „Ton“ while it flows.
