Environment

Issue

• How do I share my screen during a Zoom meeting?
• How do I share a video during a Zoom meeting?
• How do I share my iPhone/iPad screen during a Zoom meeting?

Resolution

Refer to Zoom Support for instructions on screen sharing:

• Your computer screen (desktop, browser/browser tabs, applications, etc.)
  • Note: This includes sharing online videos (e.g., YouTube). Ensure Share sound and Optimize for video sharing are selected before clicking Share.
• Recorded video files (stored locally on your computer)
  • Note: The following is available only in the Zoom desktop app version 5.5.0 or later on macOS and Windows. MP4 and MOV files are supported, and the max video resolution is 1080p.
• iPhone/iPad iOS screen via the Zoom desktop app or mobile app
  • Note: AirPlay does not work when connected wirelessly on campus (e.g., MWireless). You can only do this when connected to a wired connection on campus.
• Classic whiteboard

For instructions on sharing in specific ways:

• Sharing your screen from the main room to all breakout rooms
• Sharing multiple screens simultaneously
• Sharing audio with and without screen sharing
• Optimizing a shared video in full screen
• Allowing/preventing meeting participants from sharing their screens
