Excellent. As a beginner ZOOM user I finally found someone who explained to me exactly what shows up, and "why", when I chose the Share option. I have looked at a lot of videos to explain the Sharing option. Yours is the best so far by a mile!
Didn't realise it was a possibility to share your desktop at all times on Zoom so thanks for the information. As you say though, could be a smidge dangerous! Thanks Russell - keep up the great work.
For my meetings I use multiple monitors. This allows me to share one screen (as full desktop share) while using my 2nd or 3rd monitor for anything I don't want others to see over the video conference. (Just be careful to share the correct screen). I get the full benefits of desktop share with the benefits of using apps others cannot see.
This is a great tip Eric. I'm doing it myself. Thanks for this comment. More videos on Zoom in this Playlist:ua-cam.com/play/PLqYj2sOxDkVzcrQvunlBxmkzoqw-cqTxJ.html
Excellent as always, Russell- thanks. It's useful to think carefully about what might be seen with screen sharing when sharing the entire screen instead of one application at a time, especially if you keep a lot of links on your desktop.
Thanks Debbie I have some new stuff coming out very soon. It might be worth signing up to the newsletter on my website www.teachertrainingvideos.com/sign-up.
Russell, I love this video---some great little known tips! I have always chosen "Stop Share" and started over to get to another application. So knowing that you can choose a NEW share is good to know. Another unrelated question---I LOVE your accent! I'm a Dialect Coach and would love to know how you would describe your accent. I would characterize it as London or a modern version of Cockney, but I'd love to hear what you would say about it! Thanks again. 🙂
Very precise video, thank you. When sharing screen and recording, how do I appear at the bottom like you when you started with this tutorial instead of appearing at the top?
That is actually because when I edit the recording in Camtasia, I am able to move the webcam around. In Zoom you do have some control over the webcam but each individual user can also move the webcam around when you are screen sharing. It depends on what you are doing, home much control you have over the webcam
@@ttvRussell okay great this might help if I check my webcam settings. I do move the Webcam to the bottom but it turns out back at the top right after recording. Thanks for the response
Thank you, very interesting. I never knew about both those options. I have always used the one where you can select, not the one that shares your open desktop. Quite right - could open something that you don't want to share.
Glad it was helpful! I have some new stuff coming out very soon. It might be worth signing up to the newsletter on my website www.teachertrainingvideos.com/sign-up.
Thank you. I connect my phone with my personal account to "save embarrassments " when I am screen sharing in a lesson so I can see what my stuents are seeing.
Great! Sharon I have some new stuff coming out very soon. It might be worth signing up to the newsletter on my website www.teachertrainingvideos.com/sign-up.
Always informative Russell, It is very convenient however now with Zoom online teaching(school kids), one has to be very careful. But it is good to have options.
Hey! Thanks for the video. I am having great success using Zoom with prospects. Even without turning on my video but now that I have my Excel presentation fine tuned I am ready for video. I use Excel live with prospects based upon several data points which they share w me on the call. The monitor I use is 45 inch wide. Every once in awhile a prospect will say it is too small and the can’t see it. How could I use Elegato to make my presentation better and have more eye contact. Any thoughts on how I should mix up the screen sharing w video? Any other guidance would be appreciated.
Consider using Elgato to optimize your Zoom presentations by setting up a dual-screen display, allowing you to share your Excel presentation on one screen and maintain eye contact through video on the other, providing a more engaging and effective communication with your prospects.
You can move it but yes it is annoying but in theory it should disappear after a certain amount of time but it doesn't always work. I have the same problem. I tend to move it around, depending on what I am doing
Since I have a second laptop it occurs to me that I will bring that device into the "room" as a third person. Then I will see whatever it is that they see.
Great idea! Using a second laptop as a "third person" to see what others see during screen sharing is a clever workaround. Let me know if you encounter any issues or if you have further questions! 👍
Hi, thank you for sharing this info, Zoom has horrible "resources" for free accounts. Hopefully you can shed some light on an issue I had, I don't understand what happened. I was made a co-host on a Zoom meeting, and there was 1 other co-host. I was sharing my screen (only one doing so), we had a Google Slide show going with audio. It was fine for about 7 minutes, but then somehow the sound cut off and I was no longer sharing the screen. If another co-host is chatting in the chat or the host is doing something on their end, would either of those things cause my screen sharing to stop working? Neither said they stopped the screen sharing or did anything on their end. I still had internet, it didn't go to black screen, I hadn't clicked anything on my computer the whole time the scree was being shared. It was the correct application. Any thoughts or insights appreciated, thanks! :)
Tina, someone might have accidentally taken over the screen share or turned it off. You have to be careful with Zoom and make sure that only the hosts /co hosts can share and not everyone. Check your settings and make sure only hosts can share.
What exactly can be the danger of screen sharing. Does screen sharing allow someone to access your computer? And if I screen share a document can someone steal it, as in an original script creation?
I am not a security expert, so I honestly don't know the answer. One danger though is that you accidentally share something you didn't want people to see or you get confused by what you are actually sharing and what you think you are sharing. That was the reason for the video because it often happens.
I just want to share my screen with 1 person at a time ... years ago, i used join me ... i just copy and pasted the free link ... emailed to the person ... then they saw my screen along with a small camera image of myself ... WTH happened !?!?!?!?
Hey there! It sounds like you're looking for a simple screen-sharing solution similar to what you had with Join.me. With Zoom, you can still share your screen with one person at a time. Instead of a free link, you can schedule a one-on-one meeting and invite the person directly. During the meeting, you can share your screen, and they'll be able to see it. The camera image feature is also available; you just need to make sure your camera is turned on before sharing your screen. Give it a try, and let me know if you have any questions! 😊
Thanks. After playing with it, I figured out how to copy the link to clipboard and then paste it into the recipient's email. Play'n with the trial offer till i am used to it ... on the white board, does one have to buy the zoom before they can send a whiteboard to the recipient? I also ordered a Wacon for 40 bucks on Amazon so That I can use a "pen modem" ...
Yes, all participants can share stuff in the chat window or they can share things through screen share if you give them permission to use the screen share.
Clear and informative. Thanks.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching it so quickly and the comment.

I usually share my screen (where you can share your applications - one of the options is your screen).
Absolutely!!
How about when you have different desktops open (Macbook) Which desktop is it going to share?
You have to tell Zoom which of the two windows you want to share. I think it offers you the option. I don't use Macbook so not 100% sure.
Dear Russell, Can you teach me how did you minimize your screenshare bar? It's blocking my presentation. Thank you.
You can move it but yes it is annoying but in theory it should disappear after a certain amount of time but it doesn't always work. I have the same problem. I tend to move it around, depending on what I am doing

When using zoom on the iPad the panel with screen share and other options stays extended an blocks my view. How can I regress the panel
Donna I am sorry I don't work with an iPad and so I don't really know how Zoom works on an iPad.. sorry I can't help
I can’t find the share desktop option in the screen share settings!
Linda, you need to go to settings in Zoom and first turn it on. Then when you start a session it will be there.
What exactly can be the danger of screen sharing. Does screen sharing allow someone to access your computer? And if I screen share a document can someone steal it, as in an original script creation?

No share screen button when I start a meeting!!!
That is very odd and doesn't make any sense. The host always has the option to screen share. I suggest you try and contact Zoom.
I think things must have changed since because I don't have any choice it's just share entire screen or nothing
That's due to the settings. I think you can set it up that it only ever screen shares the deskop.

Hi Russell, If I schedule the meeting can a participant share a document? If so how can it be done?
Many thanks, love your work
