frequently asked Questions
Can you share the screen in Zoom breakout rooms?
It is possible for the host or co-host to share their screen to all breakout rooms directly from the main session once all breakout rooms have been opened. Once all the breakout rooms have been opened, the host or co-host can also share their screen. By using this method, the presenter can share visual information with all breakout rooms simultaneously, allowing them to track next steps in real time, making it easier for everyone to join in. The meeting controls give you the option to share the screen.
If I share my screen on Zoom, can they still see me?
Without your permission or knowledge, your screen cannot be viewed by the meeting host or attendees without your knowledge and permission. Once you join a Zoom meeting, neither the host nor the other participants can see your computer screen.
Can multiple people share the Zoom screen at the same time?
As a host, you can start a Zoom meeting or webinar whenever you’re ready. You can share a screen with multiple participants at the same time by clicking the up arrow to the right of “Share Screen” in the meeting controls toolbar. This feature is available from the Meeting Controls toolbar by clicking the up arrow. With this function it is possible to share your screen with several participants at the same time.
Can you share the screen via zoom?
A Zoom meeting uses screen sharing to create a collaborative environment where everyone can see each other’s screens during a meeting to create a collaborative environment. To take full advantage of this feature, only those meeting participants who have chosen to share their screen can control what the other participants see and don’t see.
Why isn’t my Zoom screen sharing working?
