Letting Levi hear the call

Zoom, Google Meet or Teams in a browser tab

1. 01

   Join the call in Chrome or Edge

   Keep that tab open. Open Levi in a second tab.
2. 02

   Press Start call in Levi, then choose “Share the call tab”

   Chrome shows a picker. Choose the tab your call is in.
3. 03

   Tick “Also share tab audio”

   This is the bit people miss. Without it Levi only hears you. The tick box sits in the bottom-left of the Chrome dialog.

On Windows you can also pick “Entire screen” and share system audio, which works for the desktop apps too.

Zoom desktop app on a Mac

macOS won't hand app audio to the browser, so you route Zoom's sound through a free virtual speaker first. One-off setup, about five minutes.

1. 01

   Install BlackHole 2ch

   It's a free audio driver from Existential Audio. Install it and restart if asked.
2. 02

   Create a Multi-Output Device

   Open Audio MIDI Setup, press the + button, choose “Create Multi-Output Device”, then tick both your normal speakers or headphones and BlackHole 2ch. That way you still hear the call.
3. 03

   Point Zoom at it

   In Zoom's audio settings, set the speaker to that Multi-Output Device. Leave the microphone as it was.
4. 04

   Choose BlackHole in Levi

   In Levi's audio check, pick “Virtual audio device” and select BlackHole 2ch. Both level meters should move once the call starts.

In person or on speakerphone

Choose “Mic only”. Levi separates the two voices from the single microphone. It's slightly less precise than the other two options but works anywhere.
