Share your screen in a Zoom meeting
Sharing your screen in a Zoom meeting allows other meeting attendees to observe you interacting with any of your applications on your computer. Both hosts and participants have permission to screen share by default. While screen sharing, you will still be able to see and talk to attendees, respond to chat messages, and use other Zoom tools. Stop screen sharing to return to the basic zoom meeting display. A common example of screen sharing involves giving a presentation remotely using an application like PowerPoint running on your computer.
