This article applies to the following products:

Problem: Clickshare has no sound when sharing.

Solution: install Soundflower to redirect sound to Clckshare App (the default for MirrorOp.

Challenge: Soiundflower does not install.

ERROR: Signed Version for macOS Mojave (10.14) and earlier.

The Soundflower extension is signed, but the installer is not! You will have to hold the control key down to open the Soundflower.pkg installer for the first time.

PLEASE READ! NEW SECURITY STEPS REQUIRED BY APPLE

The first time you run the installer (Soundflower.pkg), it will ask for your admin password, and will FAIL! A security alert will appear, with a button to take you to System Preferences Security & Privacy - General pane. Once there, there should be an Allow button (**) that you will need to click on to give permission to use Soundflower (developer: MATT INGALLS). Then, RUN THE INSTALLER AGAIN. It should inform you installation was successful.

(**)

If you see an Open Anyway button in the Security Preferences, this is something different!!! Most likely because you tried (and failed) opening the installer by double-clicking without holding down the control key. If so, click the Open Anyway button which will display another window. Then click the Open button in that window to launch the installer. Now you can follow the instructions above to get the 'Allow' button to appear in the Security Preferences.
