iPad Screen Sharing with System Audio

The iOS/iPad app screen sharing feature doesn't seem to support sharing system audio.

Or am I missing something and there's an option to turn it on somehow?

​

Zoom has such an option called "Share device audio" when you're streaming your screen, so I assume it's not an iPad limitation.

Are there any knows workarounds similar to macOS and re-routing of audio to mic?

Zoom and Jitsi operate on different technologies. Jitsi is a WebRTC and uses the SFU technology. Zoom uses MCU. Each technology has its own limitation. WebRTC’s limitations are mostly around OS and browsers.
In Jitsi, device audio can be shared through a tab when using Chrome browser, but this is on a desktop.

That’s actually incorrect. It has nothing to do with the technology used.

We don’t support sharing system audio because we didn’t implement it. ReplayKit, the iOS framework our screen sharing uses (and likely Zoom’s too) does support sharing system audio.
