Zoom is a widely used platform for video conferencing that enables users to connect with others from afar. A key functionality of Zoom is the capability to share your screen with fellow attendees during a meeting. Yet, there might be occasions when you prefer another participant to share their screen. This article will guide you on how to enable another person to share their screen on Zoom.
Step 1: Start a Meeting
To begin with, start a meeting on Zoom. You can do this by opening the Zoom app or logging in to the Zoom website and clicking on “New Meeting” or “Join” if you have been invited to a meeting.
Step 2: Invite Participants
Once you are in the meeting, invite the participants you want to share their screen with. You can do this by clicking on the “Invite” button and entering their email addresses or phone numbers.
Step 3: Allow Screen Sharing
After the participants have joined the meeting, click on the “Share Screen” button in the toolbar at the bottom of the screen. This will bring up a menu with various options. Click on “Advanced Sharing Options” and then check the box that says “Allow participants to share their screens.”
Step 4: Grant Permission
Once you have allowed screen sharing, the participant who wants to share their screen will need to click on the “Share Screen” button in the toolbar at the bottom of their screen. They will then be prompted to select which screen or window they want to share. After selecting the desired screen or window, they will need to click on the “Share” button. At this point, you will receive a notification asking if you want to allow the participant to share their screen. Click on “Allow” and the participant’s screen will be shared with everyone in the meeting.
Step 5: End Screen Sharing
When the participant is done sharing their screen, they can click on the “Stop Share” button in the toolbar at the bottom of their screen. This will end the screen sharing and return the meeting to its previous state.
Conclusion
Allowing someone else to share their screen on Zoom is a simple process that can be done in just a few steps. By following these steps, you can ensure that your participants have the ability to share their screens and collaborate effectively during your meeting.
