Nope, no audio with the screen share

Seems like it's being worked on. Some people in this thread have gotten it to work using workarounds as well.

This is actually a feature missing from many browsers. Maybe Discord has a workaround, not sure.

Movim.eu recently added it, but it only works on Chromium based browsers.

Even using desktop apps it seems like these services just don’t even try to stream audio. If they just made a pipewire node I could connect it up easily but they don’t even try that.

Jitsi, Revolt? BigBlueButton? Spacebar? You could try Matrix with Jitsi. Or Matrix with the video call beta in element, as someone else said.
