Screensharing in Zoom - Screen-share Tutorial

[@teacherzak6080]

This has to be the best zoom tutorial on the internet. Almost 99% of the videos I've seen so far are so frustratingly annoying and useless, while yours is pinpoint detailed and precise for new ESL teachers. Thank you. :)

[@krowdrah-official]

Another classic from the world of Dotto! Not just “feature” but “advantages” then “benefits” to hosts and participants. What Steve does supremely well Is create a warm enabling engaging atmosphere which is so hard to do in a virtual space. I have learnt so much from him over the years in different apps eg Screenflow. Thanks Steve!

[@maureenwade59]

Found this very useful. I'd looked at others and they didn't answer my questions. This video was straight to the point, succinct and easy to follow. Thanks.

[@ms.brenda6607]

As a teacher on a tight budget, I appreciate all the tools and trips you share to make our jobs easier right now. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and abilities.

[@dottotech]

You are so welcome!

[@PaulwDonovan]

That's a slap my head moment, sharing a second camera (webcam). I saw it there before but never thought about how wonderful it could be for doing ZOOM meetings/webinars. Keep it up Steve, I remember your videos and tv shows from those days!!

[@dottotech]

Thanks for sharing!

[@bodyhanger7137]

Another gem Steve. Gotta say, screen sharing is the bomb on Zoom, absolutely fantastic. Sharing my Keynote presentations and adding any annotations is a breeze on my iPad Pro. Thanks for another video filled with much needed information. You planted the seed, now I can see a 100 ways to implement your teachings. Great content. Stay safe pal...⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@reba_techteacher]

Wow, thanks for showing me how to use the additional cameras to share. I had never clicked the "advanced" button. I'm excited now. I can add this tool as I continue to support teachers.

[@HughD]

Steve, you've done it again...EXCELLENT! If you're hosting from something other than a Mac, you can still share your iPad screen, but as a different user that you make a co-host. It took a little searching on my part to find the way to get "Share Screen" to show up on the iPad, but once you do it, it works fine. Ok, it's a bit of a kludge compared with what you showed, but it works and works well.

[@dottotech]

Great tip! Hugh, but I also think that there is a way to actually share an iPad in windows over Wi-Fi, zoom has details on their site on how to do that

[@TheCKRice]

This is so helpful! I am a Zoom neophyte trying to redesign my classroom corporate training to be live-virtual. All your video tutorials are great! Thank you.

[@manju52ngp]

Your videos are pretty educative and useful. I like the way you keep things simple and also your easily understood accent.

[@maggieskindercorner]

This is by far the most informative, user friendly set of tutorials I have seen! Thank you so much!

[@HughCulver]

I just learned how to more quickly add my ipad - I’ve been struggling with that for 2 years on zoom! Thanks Steve.

[@dottotech]

Excellent!

[@GlenShannon]

Thanks Steve! We are music teachers and band leaders, hosting playing sessions and rehearsals. We know we can't play together through Zoom (or anything else) for real due to the latency, so are getting up to speed with sharing videos and audios as play-alongs, conduct-alongs and music-minus-ones etc. for our presentations and rehearsals. Thank you for all the great info in this video series!

[@mdsohani]

Great job. I learnt a lot about screen sharing. I am a teacher and need ideas to improve my on-line teaching. Thanks from India!

[@haifashawwa]

Thank you very much for such detail and clarity. Could you plz tell us how you move your picture all over the screen?

[@NancyDadami]

Fantastic Steve. Just what I need right now to do some online instruction. Your videos show an easy path to success with zoom. Thank you for showing all of us how to use zoom.

[@PLA5207]

Once again, an excellent basic tutorial. TY!

[@edsmith4623]

Great job Steve! Making the complex simple as usual!!

[@dottotech]

Thanks! 👍

[@davidg.9890]

Thank you Steve is tutorial as well as your many others are very informative and professionally done!👍

[@yourcitymate656]

Such an informative video. Plus the presentation, wow! This guy is so calm, makes me hit the subscribe button without even considering anything.

[@koksallce6750]

Very informative. Thanx a mil, man. Props to you from Turkey.

[@candacetroystudios]

I have been trying to figure out how to share a teaching video on zoom. I struggled with trying to do a demo live using my iphone attached to an arm about my drawing surface. The out put lagged tremendously on Zoom. First your suggestion to connect my ipad, or perhaps my phone using a cable made sense. I even downloaded Reflector and was advised using OBS as another option. I just bought a webcam, tripod, mic, etc. Your video gave me more hope. Now I see how I can share my screen. Thank you for your clear explanations and your personal video was great!

[@HelenMyers]

I have just discovered your channel. What great videos. Tech clearly explained in a genuine, non-clinical fashion. And I share your enthusiasm for the second camera. Thanks so much.

[@robertsanders1046]

Helpful. Thank you. Bit more sophisticated than I need (I only need to share a document as a participant), but very interesting to see the range of what's possible

[@waynnakershner4200]

Another great video! Thank you! How do I add my Desktop to the window to select from when I screen share? Thank you!

[@twtobin941]

Thanks Steve, answered my question AND gave me new ideas.

[@andries-louisbotes796]

Just love the way you explain things very clear and to the point, well done.

[@dottotech]

Many thanks!

[@Munyaoable]

I had to share this video with my fellow faculty members. I guess I am your fan #1 in this part of the world.

[@dottotech]

Hey Martin, glad to hear it, what area of the world is that?

[@fayjohnson7959]

HI Steve , love your tutorials . For white board I do my notes in Word, copy and then it is ready for me to paste. Looks professional and a great time saver. It takes little time to do the next white screen while Zoom is on in the lesson.

[@susanaalfonso6537]

Thank you so much for all the information. My students are going to love it.

[@jcnessi]

Thank you for sharing Screensharing in Zoom :)

[@jacobopstad5483]

Those are neat features but I find that using a simple text editing program as if it were a whiteboard works really well for me. One feature I would really like to see is the ability to share multiple specific application windows without sharing my entire screen.

[@TheWinx25]

thank you for the clarity of explanation! much needed for my online training. thumbs up done! subscribed! :D

[@dottotech]

Awesome, thank you!

[@edream9]

Hi, Steve. Thanks for your Zoom tutorials, which I have found very useful. as I now need to use this kind of technology for the first time. It's great you have considered that you have some viewers who are at beginner level (including me) who appreciate tips so basic that other instructors may not think of mentioning them. For example, I have felt inconvenienced that my Share Screen buttons were stuck at the top of the screen. Your tip that those buttons could be easily moved to the bottom is helpful to me. In the many other tutorials I've seen, no other instructor has thought to mention this. Thank you!

[@dennispeaks]

LOL Dottotech, you are funny and I love that. Thanks for the link to this video which is exactly what I was looking for. Now I just have to find a good system that don't cost an arm and two legs. Thanks for helping so many of us learn how to use zoom. Be safe out there!

[@Jv-np5mr]

Thanks Steve. I came here, seeking solutions to just activating volume from a shared clip on zoom and lm leaving with more insights. You’re amazing

[@dottotech]

Glad it helped. Best feedback I've received today. Thank you!

[@thevoicebusiness]

You are a gem! Thanks for your great videos Steve. We’re letting Australia know all about you. Keep up the great work!

[@MikeParsonsOutdoorGearCoach]

What a great help this was thanks Steve

[@dottotech]

Very welcome!

[@Kaisby03]

Hi Steve, a great presentation on the topic of screen sharing. Well described and well demonstrated. Thank you!

[@Julieskvz]

Hi Steve, this is great! I have one suggestion, do you think you can create a basic video of how to install the second camera, how to connect the iPad to your keyboard, the technical stuff. Which cables? Or a second monitor?, Etc. Thank you! I love your videos.

[@dottotech]

Great suggestion!

[@VideoEasyPeasy]

@@dottotech I agree with Julie. I tried to go to the second camera on my zoom. Can the second camera be your Ipad, or must it be another camera like your logitech. That was unclear. I tried to do it with my Ipad and no go. I had to get my ipad to join the meeting. Anythoughts?

[@DesignWithJo]

Yes please I have hooked up my Camcorder via USB to an adapter for my MacBook Pro but it's not showing the camera...suggestions? thanks

[@silviasarinana1446]

great video! can you recommend a not very expensive webcam, what features it should have?

[@edukquotesbysirdex5263]

Screen Sharing is great. However, I noticed that my video gallery and chat box partially block the shared screen such as a full-screen powerpoint presentation. Is there any setting options that I could separate the video gallery and the full-screen view of the powerpoint so that both can be fully seen at the same time?

[@keithdavis262]

Steve, just found your videos and love them. Have already shared with some others who I do zoom meetings with how to hide the control panel and they love it. I was wondering how you get the round view of yourself to appear while you are screen sharing. That is cool, but I haven;t been able to figure out how to do that. Keep up the great work.

[@dancewata1]

Awesome video!!! I just have one question; how can I intersperse the video playing on my desktop with my speaking for commentary? I do want the video to have its own audio coming through as well. Thanks very much

[@BonnieJWa1]

For my computer I use a Wacom Intuos pad with either an Intuos pen or mouse. The pen works great for writing or drawing. The mouse I use when precision is needed to place the screen pointer. Wacom (Intuos) has a more affordable pad and pen series called Bamboo.

[@BonnieJWa1]

Intuos is correct name.

[@sespach]

I’m sharing your zoom videos with my fellow Lions Club team on our weekly magazine.. Thanks Steve D from Steve E,

[@dottotech]

Awesome thank you!

[@Onag100]

Do you have a video on remote control? It is important for some of the tutoring I'm doing and the instructions I find around seem outdated.

[@dottotech]

Of course. Here it is.😊 Enjoy! kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5a8XmN_pdCSf9k

[@radicallymessy]

I do enjoy your videos. I joined your support group to help out with your expenses. I’d rather pay a little more and not have all the adds.

[@phyllislankford5992]

I am trying to find out how to show a video from my iPad Pro to my student. If you cover this, can you tell me which video. By the way, you are an awesome instructor.

[@christianen912]

Hello, How can I pin the zoom tool bar to the top like it is shown in this video (around mark 5:19) ?

[@jens-peter-jacobsen]

You missed the best charing option in my opinion... 'A part of the screen' - I use it all the time so my guests only sees what is in the selected frame. Only program with this feature as fare as that I know. Love it ❤️

[@dottotech]

Great tip Jens thanks for sharing

[@sbeckas]

How do you choose a selected frame? Would this also apply to a screenshot?

[@jens-peter-jacobsen]

@@sbeckas In 'Share Screen' go to the 'Advanced' tab and choose 'Portion of Screen'. I share my landscape architect drawings when drawing together whith my customers, and they dont need to see anything else that the drawing. All off the drawing programs tools is only visible for me, as well as the rest off the screen, where I can have other folders and tools ready for use inside of the 'green frame' on my screen. You can try it, and notice that you can decide the size and the position off the shared area off the frame.!

[@nancyhiatt2835]

@@jens-peter-jacobsen that is a great option

[@terabitdrive]

I've been using Zoom and hosting meetings for the past five years. When sharing your screen, you should ***NOT*** click on "Optimize Screen Share for Video Clip." You get bad results if you do. I've spoken with people at ZOOM and they are aware of the issues. Bandwidth and device issues create unnecessary problems with that selection. When hosts and/or participants clicked on that feature, we saw pixelation and floating toolbars.. When the person sharing his/her screen turned that option off, the problems disappeared and we got terrific results.

[@videobylight]

Just getting into Zoom .. your videos are informative and comical! Keep up the great work!!

[@dottotech]

Thanks, will do!

[@jackkaminsky8067]

Hi Steve, I'm using a Windows PC and a Microsoft Lifecam Studio camera with Zoom. Just a quick question as to how are you able to get that circular insert video of yourself speaking while doing a Share Screen? Thanks for your informative KZbin videos.

[@dottotech]

Have you tried Screenflow?

[@christinetrevellian4093]

Hi Steve! Thank you for the videos! Do you have a video that shows how to share screen in a Children’s app and then giving mouse access? Is there a way to limit mouse access so that students can only click in the app?

[@karenbudai7171]

Thanks for the video, Steve. Very informative. I am wondering, though, how I can see my participants while I am sharing my screen.

[@vivianmiller5246]

Good information. Where is your pup?

[@suzannerobertson3826]

Dear Ditto, Thank you for your excellent video on Zoom screen sharing. I am having a problem because Zoom can't connect to my iPad. I think it might be something to do with a setting in Catalina OS. Have you come across this? Regards Suzanne

[@chapscochrane9227]

Another great post. You keep me excited about technolgy.

[@dottotech]

Glad to hear it!

[@UnschoolingMom2Mom]

Questions! How did you move seamlessly back and forth from sharing screen to being on the screen yourself? How did you have the circle of yourself (when you were talking about whiteboards/ipads) instead of the square in the corner?

[@dottotech]

All of those effects were done post production with our video editing software, you can’t do them that way in a live broadcast easily.

[@UnschoolingMom2Mom]

@@dottotech Thanks for letting me know! I've been wracking my brain trying to see how that can happen.

[@wileyredding6529]

Thanks, Steve for showing the polling feature. I will be using that feature in a future meeting. Thanks again.

[@lucascandy5056]

Thanks I’ll pass this along to the teachers at my school! We’ve been using Google classroom and Zoom for several weeks now, so they might be ready for some next level screen sharing!

Please do!

great video; thumbed up ... but how do you swap the shared second camera so it is the small view and the primary camera is the big view? can you at least make both views equally sized?

[@wardieleppan8443]

Thanks. How do you set up your second camera and do you have to have it running all the time or are you supposed to put it on manually each time you switch to it?

[@calebhunte2340]

what camera are you using to record this? The quality of the video is great!!

[@sherrylabrahart262]

Really great, thanks. But I need more help on screen sharing two screens and running a PowerPoint presentation both using MS and Mac.

[@CreditFast]

Thank you, Steve! I never liked the whiteboard. I have the Ipad Pro and pencil, and you just gave me ideas on how I can use that for a much sharper and cleaner look.

[@dottotech]

I’m so glad to hear it’s going to help!

[@marcelofernandes4010]

Great job, sir! Congrats from Brazil!

[@krisdawson1478]

Hi Steve. Is it possible to share your screen with a power point and see all of your students at the same time? Or toggle between sharing your screen (a power point) and not sharing your screen several times without having to reboot the power point every time? Its important that I am able to see my students during the lesson. Thank you! I enjoy all of your tutorials!

[@dottotech]

not that I am aware of Kris, I believe the screen share takes over the full feed, unless someone has a work around I am not aware of.

[@Berry_N]

Kris, you might need two devices. I start the meeting on my laptop and from there I can choose different views while I join the class from a device I have not logged in from (my tablet with stylus) I screen share the tablet (lecture in onenote) and watch and chat etc on the laptop. On the tablet I join without audio or video. Not sure if that made sense.

[@Matt10L]

Love the videos, Steve. I've just recently followed and have to say you explain everything incredibly well. It's been a joy to watch.

[@cikguunited7174]

I don't have an ipad but I use my smartphone (together with my laptop) as an additional tool to use the whiteboard or to scribble. I even bought a stylus to write on my smartphone.

Great video. Thanks a bunch! Do you have to have a Mac to mirror your iPad our phone? As well can you use second camera if you have a PC?

[@rrwwdonato]

Great video, Steve. I learned a few new tricks from this video. I have a question. I am a teacher and use screen sharing to show powerpoint. The problem with screen sharing is that once my students are in breakout rooms for group discussions, they can no longer see the powerpoint where I provide a slide that gives them instruction on things to discuss. What is your recommendation to get around this shortcoming? Thanks.

[@dottotech]

I don't think there is a work around for that, but I am not certain.

[@rrwwdonato]

@@dottotech Thanks for your reply. I'm still on the hunt for a solution.

[@rachellearmstrong9764]

Hello Steve, Thank you so much for this video. I have an additional question. I am looking to find a way to share my screen for a video and then impose myself on the screen while the video is playing like you did where you appeared in the circle at the bottom. Can you do that directly thru zoom? Any ideas would be helpful. Thank you

[@nancyhiatt2835]

I teach piano and with a webcam and my laptop. I have several questions: 1)what's the difference between using the screen share 2nd camera and switching it at the tab at the bottom of the zoom screen? 2)what would be the best way to "do" a worksheet with a student - so that I can see what they're doing - they have an ipad, but I don't. would it work if I have the worksheet on my browser? (but didn't you say they won't see the cursor?) Thanks for the help!

[@rosemarygodfrey1641]

Hi Steve, brilliant - just what I needed to know about screen sharing but plus the options I knew nothing about!

[@dottotech]

Glad it was helpful!

[@mentorstudio]

So impressed that you are able to teach me to use this. Can I use notability app in the whiteboard . I know I can use IPad on zoom on my dell computer but can I use this app or do I have to put in on keynote?

[@dottotech]

Nope, you should be able to use notability without any problem, it may take a little bit of practice to get all of the settings correct but it should work perfectly

Thanks for the great video. Should be a lesson to others.

[@saleamessop-e9h]

Hello, there. Great video. One of the shortcomings of the Zoom whiteboard is adding images, PDFs and worksheets and annotating ( writing over them ). Playstore has this app called LiveClass ( @t ) You add all your images, PDFs etc into the lesson and just present it as a screenshare over Zoom or any live conferencing system. You can even save the lesson for broadcast at a later time. I would love for you to do a video on it.

[@cynthiasymons]

Can you set up your iPhone or smart phone as the second camera?

There are a few ways to set up your iPhone or smart phone as a virtual WebCam, but they trend to be a bit buggy and laggy.
