Webex is a widely used platform for video conferencing that enables individuals to work together and communicate remotely. A convenient option provided by Webex is the ability to pause your screen during a meeting. This feature comes in handy when you need to concentrate on a specific document or image, without being distracted by a moving screen. In this article, I will walk you through the process of freezing your screen on Webex and also share my personal tips and experiences.
Step 1: Join the Webex Meeting
Before you can freeze your screen, you need to join the Webex meeting. Click on the meeting link provided by the host or open the Webex application and enter the meeting ID manually. Once you are connected to the meeting, you can proceed to the next step.
Step 2: Share Your Screen
To freeze your screen, you first need to share your screen with the meeting participants. Click on the “Share Screen” button located at the bottom of the Webex meeting window. A new window will open, showing a list of available screens or application windows.
Choose the screen or application window that you want to share and click on it to select it. You can also choose to share a specific portion of your screen by selecting the “Share Screen” option. Once you have made your selection, click on the “Share” button to start sharing your screen.
Note: It is important to choose the correct screen or application window that you want to freeze. If you have multiple screens or applications open, make sure to select the correct one to avoid freezing the wrong screen.
Step 3: Freeze Your Screen
Once you have shared your screen, you can now freeze it. To freeze your screen, click on the “More Options” button (represented by three dots) located at the top of the screen sharing toolbar. A drop-down menu will appear.
In the drop-down menu, select the “Freeze Screen” option. This will freeze your screen, displaying the last frame shared with the meeting participants. You can now take your time to focus on the content of your screen without worrying about any changes or movements.
Step 4: Unfreeze Your Screen
If you want to unfreeze your screen and resume the normal screen sharing, click on the “More Options” button again and select the “Unfreeze Screen” option from the drop-down menu. Your screen will unfreeze, and any changes or movements on your screen will be visible to the meeting participants again.
During my personal experience with freezing screens in Webex, I found it to be a helpful feature, especially when conducting presentations or sharing important documents. It allows me to maintain focus on specific content without any distractions. However, it is important to use this feature responsibly and only freeze your screen when necessary.
