Zoom: All Screens Mode
Zoom offers hosts a variety of options for sharing content, such as sharing the whole screen or sharing only one application or window at a time. One screen sharing option, All Screens Mode, is a feature that lets a meeting host request all participants to share their desktops at once. This presents the host with a scrollable, side-by-side view of everyone’s shared screen alongside their video feeds.
Instructions for activating All Screens Mode are listed below, along with some best practices to keep in mind.
