How To Share Screen On Zoom?

Who had the tiniest idea two years ago that sharing screens will become a fundamental skill in the upcoming future? Crucial aspects of our lives i.e education, and work will be transformed online overnight. Video calling or conferencing platforms like Zoom have grown massively during pandemics. Every organization, be it government or private, is relying on these apps to stay connected with its employees. This is why Zoom’s popularity shot up to its peak during 2020 because of the ongoing pandemic, with above 40 million downloads in the Asia-Pacific region.

However, not all of us are very literate with digital technology. It is quite hard for some of us to be familiar with the handy features of the platform we have never used before. One of these cool features is the sharing screen.

What is a Screen Sharing?

Furthermore, to ensure your security, zoom lets you decide which window on your screen you want to share. It is to prevent you from accidentally sharing anything private.

Here is a quick guide for every device user on how to share screen on Zoom:
