Present during a video meeting

You can present a tab, a specific window or the 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 the admin settings (if you're part of a Workspace organisation) or meeting host controls.
• On your computer, when you click Present in the green room 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.
