- **Linux** can't self-update (owned by the package manager / flatpak sandbox), so Blap **notifies**
|
||||
you and you update with one command — see **[HOW-TO-UPDATE.md](./HOW-TO-UPDATE.md)**.

## Screen sharing audio
|
||||
|
||||
- **Windows / macOS** — system audio is shared with your screen automatically.
|
||||
- **Linux** — Electron can't capture system audio for screen shares (a longstanding
|
||||
Electron/Chromium limitation, not specific to Blap). Workaround on PipeWire (Debian, Bazzite,
|
||||
etc.): in the call, open the **mic device dropdown** (the ⌄ next to the mic button) and pick
|
||||
**"Monitor of \<your output device\>"** as your input — your system audio then rides in on the
|
||||
mic channel. Note this replaces your microphone, so you share audio *or* talk (use `qpwgraph` /
|
||||
`pavucontrol` to combine both if you need it).
