Sometimes the track isn’t a file yet — it’s already playing in Spotify, YouTube, or a DAW dashboard. Chrome and Edge can share a tab’s audio into COMMERD so visuals react live. Here’s how to do it without the silent-share trap.
Safari and most mobile browsers are weak or unsupported for this path — use a file drop there instead.
| Symptom | Likely cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| No reaction | Shared window/screen without audio | Share the tab + enable audio |
| Wrong mix | Shared a different tab | Reshare the playing tab |
| Stops suddenly | Stopped sharing in the browser bar | Share again |
| Silent share | Audio checkbox off | Re-open picker and enable audio |
Tab listen is ideal for exploration and live sessions. For a stable downloadable video with sound, upload/drop an audio file — export is built around file capture, not an ephemeral share.
Still respect platform and label rules: visualizing a streaming tab for your own screen is not the same as redistributing that audio in an exported video.
Support varies and tab-audio sharing is less reliable than Chromium. Prefer Chrome/Edge for this feature.
Use tab listen to find the look, then load a file you have rights to and export from that.
The picker allowed video/window share without the audio toggle. Choose a tab and explicitly share tab audio.
