Music over Skype

Hello!

Screen-sharing is so useful over Skype (Skype home page for those unfamiliar), but I think it's a short-term feature. It's only really necessary if the other person doesn't know how to use a computer or in the case of laziness. But here's something you may have not known: transferring sound over Skype.

What a shock! I know. Skype is all about being able to talk to people from all over the world with the limit of Internet coverage until one tries to play music. People will put their microphone to the TV, try to adjust volume to increase microphone sensitivity, but there's a better way. Here's a link to an article detailing some options.

In short, enable "listen to device" in recording settings on the microphone properties. I haven't tested this myself because I don't make frequent Skype calls.

If that fails, try using VoiceMeeter application and it's use.

There's also the dark side of Microsoft allegedly listening in on the calls. And more reading.
