As a frequent user of Zoom webinars, I have consistently been impressed by the platform’s capability to facilitate smooth communication and collaboration. One aspect that I find especially valuable is the option for panelists to share their screens during a webinar. This not only enables efficient presentations, but also elevates the interactive experience for attendees.
To enable screen sharing for panelists on Zoom webinar, follow these steps:
Step 1: Log in to your Zoom account
First, log in to your Zoom account on the web portal. If you don’t have an account already, you can sign up for free.
Step 2: Schedule a webinar
Once you are logged in, click on the “Webinars” tab on the left side navigation menu. Then, click on the “Schedule a Webinar” button to create a new webinar.
Step 3: Configure webinar settings
Fill in the necessary details for your webinar, such as the topic, date, time, and duration. Scroll down to the “Advanced Options” section and make sure the “Panelists can share” option is enabled. This will allow panelists to share their screens during the webinar.
Step 4: Add panelists
Next, add the panelists who will be participating in the webinar. You can do this by clicking on the “Add Panelist” button and entering their email addresses. Panelists will receive an email invitation to join the webinar.
Step 5: Send out webinar invitations
Once you have added your panelists, click on the “Schedule” button to save your webinar settings. You can then send out invitations to your panelists and other attendees by clicking on the “Copy the invitation” button and pasting the invitation text into an email or other communication platform.
Now that you have set up your webinar with screen sharing enabled for panelists, it’s time to get ready for the actual event. As the host, you have the ability to manage and control the screen sharing during the webinar. You can choose to allow all panelists to share their screens simultaneously or individually grant screen sharing permissions based on the flow of the presentation.
During the webinar, panelists can initiate screen sharing by clicking on the “Share Screen” button located at the bottom of their Zoom window. They will have the option to share their entire screen or specific application windows.
It’s important to note that as the host, you have the ability to stop or pause screen sharing at any time. This can be done by clicking on the “Stop Share” button located at the top of the Zoom window or by using the host controls in the webinar settings.
Conclusion
Enabling screen sharing for panelists on Zoom webinars allows for a dynamic and engaging presentation experience. By following the simple steps outlined above, you can empower your panelists to share their screens effortlessly. So go ahead and embrace the power of screen sharing to take your Zoom webinars to the next level!
