Issue

How can I share my screen in a U-M Zoom Rooms conference room?

Resolution

There are several share options for users of the U-M Zoom Rooms technology. 

Direct sharing with proximity detection (user)

1. You can use this method whether the room is in a meeting or not
   • If the room is in a meeting, the content will be shared to remote participants
   • If the room is not in a meeting the content will be displayed on the screen for participants in the room to see
2. Sign in to the Zoom desktop client or mobile app on the device from which you wish to share content
3. In the Zoom desktop client or mobile app, click or tap Share screen
4. Select which window you wish to share, then click or tap Share
5. Your shared screen will show on the Zoom Rooms display
   • You can also access screen share controls

Share using share.zoom.us

1. Start or join a meeting in a Zoom Room
2. Tap Share Content in the Zoom Rooms controller
3. Open a web browser and visit share.zoom.us
4. Enter the meeting ID or personal link, then click Share Screen. You can also click Enter a Sharing Key
5. When prompted, allow your web browser to open Zoom
6. Select the screen or application you want to share, then click Share

Note: Both video and audio will be disabled on your laptop or mobile device by default when initiating a screen share from the Zoom Room controller.

Manual HDMI sharing

1. If the room has an HDMI cable connected to the Zoom Room appliance, plug the HDMI connected cable in to the port of the device you wish to share from
   • Most often, this cable is HDMI into the appliance and USB-c connection to the device to share from
2. It will screen share your desktop to the Zoom Room display
