Tips

  • If you are using full-screen mode on the desktop app (Mac), full-screen mode will be automatically released when you start screenshare. If you are using the browser version, if it does not work properly, please exit full-screen mode before sharing your screen.
    What is full-screen mode?(Apple support page)
  • When you start screen sharing on the desktop app, the window you select to share will be highlighted with a green border.

  • The resolution for screen sharing is the maximum resolution allowed for the environment of the sharing source. If the communication quality is not sufficient, the resolution may be lowered due to WebRTC's automatic adjustment function.

  • If the zoom button is hidden behind the Leave Room button in the meeting room,  move or resize the screen sharing object or make it full screen  until you can see the button.
