How to Share a Screen in Zoom Workplace - December 2025

 1. In Your Zoom user interface look for a button with a green icon with a black arrow pointing upward in it and the word “share” written under it. Click it.

2. Note that there is an arrow next to that icon. If you click that arrow you can direct Zoom to either allow one participant to share a screen at a time or to allow multiple participants to share simultaneously

3. After clicking that button, a new window will be opened. In this window you will be presented with options on how and what to share with your participants in the meeting. In this article we will focus on the screens option only.

4. After picking which screen you would like to share, click the blue Share button at the bottom of the screen in order to commence sharing.

5. On the right side of the window there are the Presenter Layout options. These options allow the presenter to change how the screen and the presenter are laid during the meeting.

1. Content only – only the content that is shared is visible to the participants
2. As a background – the content is shared as a background and the presenter’s camera video feed is presented in the foreground
3. Over the shoulder – the screen that is shared is shown on top of the “shoulder” of the participant. Basically, it is shown off their side to the top.
4. Side by Side – the presenter and the screen that is shared are shown side by side to the participants

6. Additional options include:

1. Sound sharing – the presenter shares the sounds omitting from its computer
2. Optimize for video sharing – Zoom would optimize itself to share video over the screen that is shared
3. Share Zoom windows - It controls whether your own Zoom interface (the Zoom app windows) can be shared when you screen share.

7. After hitting the share button, Zoom will start sharing the chosen window. You will be noted that by seeing a green box titled “you are screen sharing” and a red button titled “Stop share”.

8. Note that your own camera video feed will be shown in a small box as well as can be seen in the image below:

9. Minimize the box by clicking the upward arrow on the bottom part of the box. The arrow is merged in a green bar and points upwards.
10. Sharing could be stopped at any time by clicking the red Stop sharing button.
