This How.com.vn will teach you how to share the screen in a Zoom meeting. You won't be able to share your screen if the host has this setting or feature disabled; and you can only share multiple screens if the host has the setting selected. Sharing screens from a mobile may result in lost audio.
Steps
Desktop
Join or host a Zoom meeting. If you have an invite or link in your email or texts, you can use that to Join a Zoom Meeting that's already in progress.- If you want to host the meeting, open the desktop client, log in, and click New Meeting.
Click Share Screen. It's the a green button centered at the bottom of the window.
Check the box next to "Optimize Screen Sharing for Video Clip." When you click this box, the box next to "Share computer sound" checks off too, which will ensure your audience hears your computer's sound.- Uncheck this box if you want your screen to share without sound.
Click a window or application to share. You'll see all the screens you can share, including your Zoom screen and any tabs and windows you have open in a web browser, like YouTube or Google Docs.[1]
Click Share. Once you share the selected screen, the participants in the Zoom meeting will see and hear it.- For example, if you opted to share the Google Docs tab in your web browser, the participants in the Zoom meeting will see it.
- When you want to stop sharing, click Stop Share at the top of your screen.[2]
