How can students present using Zoom?
Answer
The host does not need to grant screen share access for another participant to share their screen. By default, anyone in the meeting can share their screen. Follow the steps below to present with Zoom.
- Click the Share Screen button located in your meeting controls at the bottom of the screen, as shown below.
- Select the screen you want to share (PowerPoint presentation). The screen you are going to share will be blue. Note: The screen you want to share must be opened already.
(Optional) Enable these features:- Check Share Computer Sound: if you check this option, any sound played by your computer will be shared during the meeting.
- Check Optimize for full screen video clip: check this if you will be sharing a video clip in full screen mode. Do not check this otherwise, as it may cause the shared screen to be blurry.
- Click Share, as shown above.
- Zoom will automatically switch to full screen to optimize the shared screen view. To exit-full screen, click Exit Full Screen in the top right corner or press the Esc key.
- To disable automatic full screen when viewing a shared screen, disable this option in your desktop client settings: Enter full screen automatically when a participant shares screen.
