Audio works fine both ways with no mic config required, streaming is a little laggy when viewing the screen and stream next to each other, but that's all. EDIT: No, you're right. Audio within streams seem to fail. I remember Discord having the same problem (hence why I use Vesktop), but if Windows also suffers this shortcoming?
