Enabling screen sharing on Zoom is a beneficial tool that allows you to display your screen with others while in a video call. It can be especially beneficial when presenting or collaborating on a project. In this guide, I will walk you through the steps of turning on screen sharing on your phone using Zoom.
First, make sure you have the Zoom app downloaded and installed on your phone. You can find the app in the App Store (for iOS) or Google Play Store (for Android). Once the app is installed, go ahead and launch it.
Next, sign in to your Zoom account or create a new one if you don’t have an account already. You can sign in using your email address or by linking your Google or Facebook account.
Once you’re signed in, you’ll be taken to the home screen of the Zoom app. Here, you’ll see a list of upcoming meetings and the option to join a meeting. To enable screen sharing, you’ll need to start or join a meeting.
If you’re starting a new meeting, tap on the “New Meeting” button. This will create a new meeting room where you can invite others to join. If you’re joining an existing meeting, tap on the “Join Meeting” button and enter the meeting ID provided by the host.
Once you’re in a meeting, you’ll see a toolbar at the bottom of the screen. Tap on the “Share” button in the middle of the toolbar.
A popup window will appear with different options for sharing your screen. To share your phone’s screen, tap on the “Screen” option. You may need to grant Zoom permission to capture your screen.
After selecting the “Screen” option, you’ll see a preview of your screen. Tap on the “Start Broadcast” button to begin sharing your screen.
Now, anything that you do on your phone will be visible to others in the meeting. You can navigate through apps, open documents, or browse websites while screen sharing. It’s like bringing your phone’s screen to the meeting!
If you want to stop sharing your screen, simply tap the “Stop Share” button that appears at the top of your screen. This will end the screen sharing session and return you to the meeting.
