Launch Zoom, then go to your Settings/Preferences and choose “Screen Sharing”:Īs you can see on the left side, there are a lot of categories of settings. You already have a Zoom account, but what’s not clear to most people is that not every setting in your account is accessible from the Zoom app itself. There are also a lot of different settings spread across a number of different places in the app and on the Zoom web site that you’ll want to check prior to sharing your screen with your Mom, your colleagues or your poker group! But I’ll get into that too, so let’s start at the beginning. Not only that, but you can plug in an external camera (even your smartphone in some configurations!) and use that as a shared video source too!

In fact, Zoom has been around for quite a while and offers quite powerful and flexible screen – and app – sharing capabilities.

There’s a common impression that the popular Zoom video chat and meeting system is really just about having a lot of live video streams in a shared space and everything else it does has been grafted on last minute.
