Thanks that explains what I am seeing is the intended behavour. I was 
under the impression that it was a use case to record University 
lectures, and assumed that there was something I was missing to get the 
audio of the presenter  to mix with the video of the shared presentation.

Sure, I could use OBS, or even a video editor, like OpenShot to do the 
mixing.

thanks again,
