Present during a video meeting

You can present a tab, a specific window, or entire screen in a meeting. While you present, you can share information such as documents, presentations, and spreadsheets.

Tips:

  • If you want to share audio from your presentation, you must present a tab and have “Also share tab audio” toggled on.
  • Sharing your screen may be disabled for you due to admin settings (if you're part of a Workspace organization) or meeting host controls.
  • On your computer, when you click Present in the greenroom before you join a meeting, you join in Companion mode. When you use this option, your mic and speaker are unavailable.
  • You can use picture-in-picture mode to concurrently present and find your audience. Learn how to use picture-in-picture mode.
