Want to share that killer presentation or hilarious cat video on Zoom? Learning how to share your screen is easier than you think! This simple guide will have you sharing like a pro in no time.
First, ensure you're in a Zoom meeting as the host or participant with screen sharing permissions. At the bottom of your Zoom window, you'll see a green "Share Screen" button. Click it!
A window will pop up displaying available screens or applications you can share. Choose what you want your audience to see – your entire desktop, a specific application (like PowerPoint), or even a whiteboard for collaborative brainstorming.
Before you click "Share," consider ticking the boxes for "Share sound" and "Optimize Screen Share for Video Clip" if you'll be playing audio or video. This ensures everyone hears and sees everything clearly.
Once you're sharing, a floating toolbar will appear. Use it to pause the share, annotate, or even hand over control to another participant. When you're finished, simply click "Stop Share" and you're back to normal!
Sharing your screen on Zoom opens up a world of possibilities. Happy Zooming!
