Description

Feature request

Which Nextcloud Version are you currently using: (see administration page)
32.0.3
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
From time to time there is a need to screenshare videoplayer playing video WITH sound during a call.
This always drives me crazy as there is no clear way to share the sound stream from that video to the call participants besides randomly adjusting sound settings in Win10/11 to play sound through the notebook speakers and using a built-in microphone to capture it (or any other external mic capable to recognize this sound without noise-supressing it).
And in the case your notebook is connected to any tv with hdmi there is literally no way to share the sound.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would love to see nc talk being able to share the sound stream of the video being played smoothly just like zoom.

Research direction

Start by investigating Nextcloud Talk's screen-sharing entry point and its WebRTC media-capture path, focusing on how video audio could reach call participants. Define the supported browser and operating-system behavior, then verify that shared video sound reaches participants without requiring speaker playback or microphone capture.
