Objective
Following these steps will change who is allowed to share their screen during a Zoom meeting.
Environment
Zoom Web Conferencing
Before You Begin
Zoom has defaulted to restricting screen sharing only to the host. This means other participants will not be able to share their screen with the rest of the group unless the host changes this setting. This behavior can be changed on individual meetings, or set as the default for all meetings.
Steps
To change the sharing options in an already active meeting (this method will only affect the current meeting):
- Select the up arrow next to Share Screen.
- Select Advanced Sharing Options.
- Under Who can share:
- Host Only will prevent anyone other than the meeting host from sharing their screen.
- All Participants will allow anyone to share their screen.
To change the default setting for all future meetings:
- Log in to msu.zoom.us.
- Click your profile picture and select Settings.
- Select Meeting from the far-left menu, then click In Meeting (Basic).
- Within Screen Sharing, under Who can share?, select the radio button for:
- Host Only will prevent anyone other than the meeting host from sharing their screen, or;
- All Participants will allow anyone to share their screen
- All future meetings should now begin with the setting you selected.
