Allow Students to Share Screen in Zoom

It is often useful for an instructor to share their screen in zoom. In many ways it can be used like a projector is used in an on-site classroom. Instructors also have the option of allowing students to share their own screens with the group. Here’s how:

1. Click “security” on the toolbar.

2. Check “Share Screen” under the “Allow participants to:” options.



3. Students then click “Share Screen” on their own toolbar to share with the group.

Students will have the same screen-sharing ability within a breakout room as well.

This feature can be useful for having students do informal, practice presentations with their classmates, or for conducting a poster session where students are circulated from breakout room to breakout room, or perhaps simply for show-and-tell!
