Zoom
Issue
Participants cannot share their screen in a meeting
Resolution
As a host, you can change this for a meeting that is currently in progress or apply a general setting for any meeting you host (the latter will not affect an in-progress meeting).
Outside of meetings for general account settings:
- Go to umich.zoom.us/profile/setting
- Click on "Meeting" in the horizontal menu towards the top
- Scroll down to the "Screen sharing" section
- Screen sharing should be toggled ON
- Under "Who Can Share", choose "All Participants"
(Note: This process will not change any in-progress meetings, but will take effect for any meeting after the setting is adjusted).
While in a Meeting:
- Select the ^ next to the green "Share Screen" button on your meeting control panel.
- Select "Advanced Options"
- Change "Who can share?" to "All Participants" and close the window.
Additional Information
By default, only the meeting host can share.
Make sure to update the option to allow for participants to share their screen to allow multiple people to share.
Zoom Delegates do not have access to change this setting for hosts. Meetings scheduled on another's behalf will use the host's meeting settings. It will not use the meeting settings of the person scheduling the meeting (delegate) on the host's behalf. Please have the host follow the steps in this article.
