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

  • Share music or video audio in Zoom/Meet calls without screen sharing
  • Capture system audio in QuickTime, OBS, or Audacity
  • Route sound effects or music into podcast recordings
  • Share gameplay audio with friends on Discord
