What you really want is to just share the Jackbox window. Your friends will be able to see all your saucy notifications, all your chrome tabs open in the background etc. You could just play Jackbox sharing your screen as above, but it is a sub-par experience. Stop sharing your screen then share the Jackbox window Start up your desired Jackbox Party Pack (make sure you’ve set it to windowed mode). It is important to do this before Jackbox starts because Jackbox picks the audio output on startup and keeps it for the entire session, if the ZoomAudioDevice isn’t there then no matter how many times you try sharing your screen the sound won’t come through. When you share your screen with the Share Computer Sound, it creates the “ZoomAudioDevice” which aggregates your microphone and computer audio into a single device for Zoom to use.
It’s very important to do this before you start the Jackbox pack you will be playing. Before you open Jackbox, share your screen with computer sound Start your Zoom call, no need to invite anyone yet. It’s slightly different for each pack, but most of them have a settings option in the main menu where you can choose the volume and full-screen/windowed. This will allow you to see your friends, control zoom and play at the same time with a single screen. Set Jackbox to windowed modeīefore you begin your game, open up Jackbox and set it to windowed mode. I have experimented with various setups and I believe I have found the perfect method to a seamless Jackbox experience. Most of the games work great over Zoom, but unfortunately getting the perfect Jackbox setup it isn’t the most straightforward task. The Jackbox Party Packs by Jackbox Games have been a lifesaver in the COVID-19 pandemic given it has been very hard to see people in person.
