Video chat helps you connect and collaborate by allowing you to share your screen with other video chat participants.
In this guide, we’ll show you how to:
- Share your screen
- Take over from the presenter
Share your screen
Screenshare is only available during active video chats. To share your screen:
- Click on the “Start screen sharing” button at the bottom of your screen.
- Select the window or screen you want to share.
- Click the “Share” button.
To avoid mirroring, minimize the shared screen to move it to the side panel. To maximize it, click on the screen in the side panel. Minimizing or maximizing your shared screen isn’t reflected in other participants’ screens.
To stop sharing, click the “Stop screen sharing” button at the bottom of the screen.
Take over from the presenter
To take over the screen when someone else is sharing:
- Click on the “Start screen sharing” button at the bottom of your screen.
- Select “Share now” from the dialog.
- The presenter will be notified that their screenshare ended.
