Now you’ve successfully managed to share your Mac’s screen during an ongoing Zoom meeting. When you’re done screen sharing, click on “Stop Share”, as shown below. You will be able to pause the share using the controls at the top.
You’ll be notified when you’ve started sharing your screen. Now, select your desktop and click on “Share” again to start the screen sharing session. You can close this window and go back to Zoom. You may be prompted to relaunch your Zoom, but that’s not necessary. Here, choose “Screen Recording” from the left pane and check the box next to Zoom.
This will automatically take you to the Security & Privacy section. When you’re prompted to give Zoom the necessary permissions to share your screen, click on “Open System Preferences”. Here, you’ll be able to choose your desktop for screen sharing. This will open a new window on your screen. Once you’re in an active meeting, click on the “Share Screen” option from the bottom menu, as shown in the screenshot below. Launch “Zoom” on your Mac and host or join a meeting. Assuming you already know how to host and join a Zoom Meeting on your Mac, let’s get started with the necessary steps. If you receive a message asking if you want to let the other person control your screen, select Control my screen, then click Accept.As the name would imply, this feature lets you share whatever is on your Mac screen with other participants in the Zoom meeting.īefore you go ahead with the following procedure, make sure your Mac is running macOS Mojave or later. If you trust the other person to do this, click the screen-sharing icon in the menu bar, then choose Allow to control my screen. When you're sharing your screen with someone, you can also let them control your screen, which gives them total access to your Mac. If you're viewing your friend's screen, choose Screen Sharing -> Quit Screen Sharing. To stop screen sharing, click the screen-sharing icon in the menu bar, then choose End Screen Sharing. When the screen-sharing request is accepted, an audio call will be initiated so you can chat while you share screens. Select Invite to Share My Screen or Ask to Share Screen. (If the option is grayed out, make sure the other person is signed in to iCloud using the same Apple ID they used to sign into Messages.) In the Messages app on your Mac, select a conversation thread, then click the info ( i) button. It's a great way to give a friend or family member some remote tech support, or you can use it to work collaboratively on a project. You can also let someone control your screen, and vice versa. When you're chatting in Messages, you can share your Mac's screen with the person you're messaging, or they can share theirs with you.
