At the screenshot below you can see discord asking for permission to access my microphone. How can i manually trigger this same popup for audio access permissions? If it's not possible to trigger the popup what other way is there to give discord's website access to my audio?

To avoid missunderstandings, i am asking how to give discord access to my desktop's audio, when i am sharing my screen there is no audio so i want to fix that, thank you for helping.

Thanks, i checked those links but from what i saw this does not help me with my problem. I cannot find any such option to give a website access to my desktop's audio.

As explained above when i share my screen over discord, only the video (screen sharing) is working but the audio is missing. Would you be able to suggest other solutions as the links did not really help?

Change microphone permissions In the Menu bar at the top of the screen, click Firefox and select Preferences. Click Privacy & Security from the left menu. Scroll down to the Permissions section. Click the Settings Use the Allow/Block selector to change permission for the website.

I don't know if it is possible to include audio in screen sharing as I've never used this feature and it also not mentioned in the article.
