Meet Screen Sharing

Screen sharing lets a participant present a tab, window, or full screen during a live meeting.

Start a share

The participant should choose the screen, window, or tab that matches what they want others to see. If browser tab audio is needed, they should select a browser option that includes tab audio when available.

Permission prompts

Most browsers require the participant to choose a source every time they begin screen sharing. If the prompt is dismissed, the participant should start sharing again and choose a source.

Shared content is wrong

If viewers see the wrong screen or a blank area, stop sharing and start again with the intended tab, window, or screen. Some protected content or operating system dialogs may not be shareable.

Mobile limits

Some mobile browsers do not support browser-based screen sharing, even when camera and microphone work. For screen sharing, ask the participant to try a desktop browser.

Support handling

Ask whether all participants see the issue, which browser was used, which source type was selected, and whether the presenter can share in another browser.
