Managing a screen share session

You can stop sharing your screen without ending the screen share session.

1. Click Pause Screen Sharing.

When screen share is paused or stopped, there is no page displayed to the viewers; the last video frame is shown instead, as HD screenshare uses a video feed.

2. Choose a monitor or application to share, and click Start Sharing. To choose an application, click the Windows tab and make sure the application you want to share is launched and not minimized to the task bar.

   

During an active screen share, you can invite more people to join your session by using Participants +, or by copying the link and sending it to the invitee with any communication tool.
