Allow computer audio to be shared without sharing screen
I would like to be able to share my computer audio without sharing my screen.
My camera video should still be shared.
This is critical functionality for those of us who use video calls to facilitate online workshops. Often, practices such as guided meditations require the use of accompanying music, and it would be distracting to participants if I shared my music app screen with them.
I currently use this functionality on Zoom, and I cannot switch to Proton Meet until this functionality is in place.
I know of other facilitators who have the same requirements for their events.
I hope this functionality is added soon, because I would love to use Proton Meet instead of Zoom! I very much value the privacy that Proton Meet would offer. 🙏

Some workarounds for the meantine:
* If you are on MacOS you can use Rogue Amoeba's loopback software to create a virtual audio device that absorbs the sounds from apps and your microphone, and use that as your input device. On Linux, this you can use CrossPipe by dp0sk.
* You could use a a virtual hdmi dummy device, to setup a fake display that just has a black background or whatever, so do a screenshare but it isn't distracting.

Currently use this same functionality on Zoom for gaming sessions several times per month. I cannot move to Proton Meet without it.
