Broadcast pre-recorded audio commentary

Hello, I am using GoToMeeting to run a camera club weekly meeting. I need to be able to broadcast to attendees a pre-recorded audio commentary on still images that will be screen shared. There is a published solution  to this but  it must be over five years old now, as it only refers to Windows XP, Vista and Windows 8;  it involves "Stereo Mix".

https://support.goto.com/meeting/help/can-i-broadcast-my-computer-audio-to-meeting-participants-g2m050028

 1 Does this solution still work for GtM under Windows 10, and if so what settings in GtM need to be configured to make this work?   

2 How would the presenter swap between the broadcast audio and their microphone or is this all handled seemlessly in Stereo Mix? 

3 Time has moved on so  is there a better way now? 

Many thanks!

    The stereomix feature is dependent on your soundcard/audio drivers, some support it and some do not. In Windows 10 it may just be hidden, you will need to open the Sound settings in your Control Panel and check the Recording settings tab. It maybe hidden in disabled devices.

     

    The good news is we are about to add audio streaming from the desktop through GoToMeeting, it will be available in the next few days. https://support.goto.com/meeting/help/how-do-i-include-my-audio-during-a-meeting
