# Share Audio

> Learn how to enable audio sharing so Verve AI Copilot can hear your interviewer

**Audio sharing is required for Verve AI Copilot to work.** By sharing your meeting tab's audio, the copilot can hear what the interviewer is saying and provide you with real-time assistance during your interview.

<Warning>
  **This is a required step!** Without audio sharing enabled, the copilot cannot hear the interviewer and will not be able to assist you.
</Warning>
