Participants Cannot Share Screen in a Zoom Breakout Room

Environment

U-M Zoom

Issue

Participants in a Zoom Meeting cannot share their screens in a breakout room. Participants see "Host disabled participant screen sharing" when they try to share.

Resolution

  1. The host should ensure that Allow participants to Share Screen is CHECKED in the Security section of the meeting toolbar in the "main session" (not in a breakout room)
  2. Impacted participants should update their Zoom app, rejoin the meeting, and then try again
