Support to share device audio during AppShare in Express client

Prior to this update, sharing of device audio was only available for Cornerstone Classroom App clients.

In this update, Express client users who are AppSharing can now share device audio on Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge browsers. Video can be a local file, a URL, or an embedded video file in a Web page or a PPTX.
Note: Currently, this feature is not supported on Firefox browser.

When the leader or presenter enables the Express client participant to AppShare via Ask to Share Application feature, the microphone permission is auto-assigned to the Express client participant. Therefore, it is recommended that the leader or presenter does not take away the microphone permission from Express client user when the user is AppSharing.

While sharing the application, the participant can select Also share system audio option on the AppShare screen while sharing the entire screen or Also share tab audio while sharing a tab. So, when the participant shares a video or other media with sound, the audio from the media is broadcast to all attendees in the session. When the host stops AppShare, the shared device audio also stops.
Note: Currently, sharing of device audio is not supported while sharing a particular window.
