Installation will require admin privileges.
- Click the Soundflower-2.0b2.dmg file to download. Unzip the file and hold CTRL > Open while opening the Soundflower.pkg file. You’ll see this prompt:
- Click Open and go through the installation.
- Navigate to Settings > Security & Privacy > General. Configure your settings to allow apps from the App Store and identified developers. Don’t click Open Anyway. Click the lock afterwards.
Run the Soundflower.pkg installer again. The install should be successful. Proceed to step 2 once you see Install Complete.
2) Configure Soundflower for desktop capture.
a) Open Audio Midi Setup app from spotlight search.
b) Select Soundflower (2ch)
c) Click on the gear icon on the bottom of the selection panel and select both "Use this device for sound input” and "Use this device for sound output.”
d) Make sure all audio levels at a reasonable volume and all channels are unmuted.
e) Run Spatial Cast. Log in to your Spatial account via the prompt, and select the Audio checkbox to allow for desktop audio share. The Cast will be forwarded to your active Spatial session. Remember to enable Accessibility permission for Spatial Cast in System Preferences (you will be prompted).
You can now close Audio Midi Setup and Open Spatial Cast. Desktop audio will be forwarded to your Spatial Session. While using Soundflower you won’t hear any audio coming out of your Mac’s speakers. You can change the settings back by opening Audio Midi Setup again and selecting your usual speaker configuration.
To stop sharing your screen and audio, click Stop Mirroring on Spatial Cast.
