    I agree that this is more than a niche feature for online workshops. Sharing system audio independently from screen sharing is useful for music, guided sessions, presentations, and anything where participants need to hear the audio but don't need to see the application producing it.

    Ideally, Meet would let you keep the camera on, leave screen sharing completely off, and simply select computer/system audio as a separate source. That would also make the workflow much cleaner than having to share an entire desktop just to transmit audio.

    For facilitators who already rely on this in Zoom, it's probably one of those small features that becomes a hard requirement rather than a nice-to-have. Hopefully Proton adds independent audio sharing, because otherwise privacy-conscious users may still be forced to keep another video platform around just for this use case. On a related note, having a simple Universal TV Remote Control option would be a nice convenience for people who use their devices across different setups.

    Being able to manage TV functions from one [URL=https://apps.apple.com/us/app/tvrem-universal-tv-remote/id6746162794] Universal TV Remote Control[/URL] without switching between several separate apps would make the overall experience feel much more streamlined.
