Soundshine
A macOS menu bar app that routes system audio to a virtual microphone input for Zoom, Google Meet, Discord, and more.
Audio routing that just works. Soundshine is a macOS menu bar app that lets you share your system audio — music, videos, game sounds — as a microphone input in Zoom, Google Meet, FaceTime, Discord, and any other app, with zero latency and no wires.
Features
One-click audio routing — A single toggle in the menu bar routes all system audio to a virtual microphone. No complex configuration needed.
Zero-latency passthrough — Keep hearing audio through your real speakers while Soundshine simultaneously routes it as a mic input.
Passthrough volume control — Independent volume slider for local playback vs. routed audio.
Menu bar native — Lives exclusively in the menu bar with no Dock icon or window clutter.
Real-time audio level meter — Visual feedback of audio levels right in the menu bar.
High-quality audio — 48 kHz, 32-bit float stereo audio through a lightweight CoreAudio virtual driver.
Use cases
