As a host or presenter in a meeting, you can share windows, applications, or your entire desktop. As a participant in a meeting, a host must give you permission, or promote you to a presenter or host, for you to be able to share your screen.

When you share anything on your computer screen, actions you take in the shared region are visible to all participants in the meeting. Participants follow the progress of your cursor as you move it across your screen.

The region(s) that you share must be visible on your desktop to be visible to other participants in the Share pod. Overlapping windows on the desktop appear as a blue crosshatched pattern in the Share pod.

If you are a host or presenter, share your screen by following these steps:

1. Do one of the following to open a Share pod:
   • Choose Layouts > Sharing.
   • Choose Pods > Share > Add New Share.
2. Click the pop-up menu in the center of the Share pod, and select Share My Screen.
   Note: If the Share Pod is empty, you are a participant and do not have permission to share.
3. Set Screen sharing options.
4. Click the Share button at the bottom of the Start Screen Sharing window to begin sharing.

Screen Sharing Options

• Desktop (or Secure Desktop Sharing): Shares the contents of your desktop. If you have more than one monitor connected to your computer, a desktop appears for each monitor. Choose the desktop that you want to share. The Secure Desktop Sharing option appears only if the account administrator has restricted the applications and processes that you can share. The Desktop option allows you to share authorized contents on your desktop.
• Windows: Shares one or more authorized windows that are open and running on your computer. Choose the window(s) that you want to share.
• Applications: Shares an authorized application and all its related windows that are open and running on your computer. Choose the application or applications that you want to share.
