Zoom Complete training in Screen Sharing

[@ozruby145]

Thank you. That is very helpful. How can I break my students in two groups and both groups still able to see my sharing screen (like two groups work independently on a quiz that be shared on my screen)

[@ttvRussell]

You can't really do that. Once they are in break out rooms, they can share their screens. You would have to give the document you want to share to one of the students in each group and they could open it up.

Conceivably there may be 150+ participants, so I want to be knowledgeable for optimum enjoyment. Any ideas or advice on setting would be genuinely appreciated. I hope it’s possible to accomplish. Thank you.

Thanks Russell. This is very easy to follow and helpful. I have a question that is still yet to be answered: I have about a 50% chance of a video actually showing when I am using zoom meetings. The sound always plays, but half the time the participants can't actually see anything. It seems completely random. When I click onto screen share I get the options up, but the video is not always in the options page. Sometimes it is and the title of the box in which it is contained is 'films/videos', but this doesn't always appear. Sometimes I set up the video on my desk top and again it is a 50/50 chance of it playing. Any suggestions? It does seem to be worse when I have a couple of clips to show

[@ttvRussell]

Mark, always open your video in the background ready to play and make sure that it is that tab that is active. So when you screen share, the video will always be there. The problem with the video access could simply be the speed of the internet connection. If they have slow connection, they will not receive the video. Make sure you all turn off the webcams. Sorry for delay. Too much work this week.

Thank you so much for all your videos. They have been really helpful!!! I have just started trying to use Zoom and I'm having a couple of issues. When I have a meeting via Zoom after about 5-10 minutes the sound goes for both myself and the participant... my laptop is brand new and we have a high speed internet connection... what could it be? Also, when I do the screen share for various programmes like IWB, espresso etc... it works fine and so does the audio. However, when I try to share a clip from KZbin the audio doesn't work and then I loose the audio between myself and the participant. What could be causing that? I have also clicked the button to share the computer's audio... I tried the optimize button too. It worked properly a couple of times then reverted back to losing the sound... Thank you for your help! Natasha.

[@ttvRussell]

Hi Natasha. Thanks for you comments. I am not sure what is going wrong with your set up. It sounds like it should work. You are doing everything right. The audio shouldn't cut out in that way. I can only think it might be bandwidth issues, but you say that you have a high speed connection. Keep trying.

Hi Angela. Unlike Adobe Connect, when you share your screen in Zoom you not uploading the PowerPoint presentation or document into Zoom, but simply sharing the PowerPoint window. Note that if you are going to play audio, such as a video, even within the PowerPoint, you need to enable play computer sound before you start to share.

[@ttvRussell]

Hi Joe161964 . You can't allow your screen to be shared in all break out rooms simultaneously. However, if you are talking about one slide on a PowerPoint, I would get round this issue by taking a screenshot and sharing this with all the participants either before you go in or by sending the slides to them in the chat box. For a brief while, Zoom disabled the option to share a file. You can share an image (such as a screenshot). You can join a breakout room, one at a time, and share your screen then, but that is time consuming and will mean some won't have the slides to do the task you want. Hope that helps a little.

Make sure you click on share video sound when you click on the screen share button. It is on bottom left of the window

[@JB-4080]

Hey Russell. Thanks for the tutorial. When screen sharing how do you ensure that what you are sharing is all that is seen? If we have someone spotlighted they show up next to the shared content. If we remove the spotlight then we just see shared content and someone random next to it. Again we only want to see the shared content and nothing else.

[@ttvRussell]

You can check. Just role over screen share button at top of the screen anytime and click on new share. In the top window it shows you what the students currently see. More free Zoom videos here www.teachertrainingvideos.com/Zoom

Russell! Can I share assignment page/questions from canvas to zoom in break out room setting?

[@ttvRussell]

That's a good question, Tsepak. I believe there is still the option to share your screen within a break out room. Check out my detailed video on break out rooms here: www.teachertrainingvideos.com/complete_breakout_rooms_training

[@tsepakrigzin3480]

Russell Stannard (Teacher Training Videos) Thanks Russell. Ok How do I share KZbin link with directly sound playing. Is it same as sharing computer sound after I share KZbin link on screen or is there another method?

[@ilbarhai]

Hello. First, thank you. If presenting a PPT how do I go back a slide? I cannot find PPT menu/controls. If I click by mistake to next slide, but want to go back to a previous one... How do I do it on zoom as there are no PPT icons? Thanks.

[@ttvRussell]

Hi Ilana Bar-Hai. When you begin to screen share you can choose either share whole screen or just the PowerPoint window. It is important to remember that the PPT controls work as normal, but when you start to annotate - using the top toolbar - you need to click back on the mouse to regain control of the PPT. Make sure you click on the screen as you would normally do to control it. This is the key part of the video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nmXapmR5jqp8iNE

[@ilbarhai]

@@ttvRussell how do I share just the PPt. I want my audience to see it large but I also want to be able to go back to other slides. I understand the annotate part, thank you.

[@EarlThomasTheVOICE]

Russell I am wondering why when screen sharing. Why the desktop doesnot come up? The other day it did not come up so i could play my mp3. When the meeting was over i closed zoom & opened up another Zoom & when i screen shared the desk top did come up. Why does it look difernet each time?

[@ttvRussell]

Earl, this video might help you kzbin.info/www/bejne/nna0ZomMjqybaZY Good luck.

[@zakh3108]

Thanks for the video. I've got a question about sharing pictures. When I share a picture on my phone I can't see my students on the screen. Is that just how it is or is there a way around it?

[@ttvRussell]

It is best that the students turn off their webcams when you are sharing something. When you stop screen sharing, they can put on the cameras again. Cameras use a lot of bandwidith on the the internet. So best that you don't have camera on when showing pictures. More free videos here www.teachertrainingvideos.com/complete_breakout_rooms_training

[@SuperWingman69]

I want to use dual monitors. How do I share the PowerPoint on the second monitor? I want to be able to use presenter view as I would if I were projecting onto a screen or a monitor. Thank you

[@ttvRussell]

You can only share on screen but you can choose which one to share. I run two screens but I actually turn it off when I use Zoom as I actually find it a bit confusing. I have added some more videos about Zoom here www.teachertrainingvideos.com/Zoom

[@dave64grant]

I sign in to zoom via the teacher and I need to share my screen with others. There is often a problem in the the others can't see my screen or they can't hear my screen. The teacher comes in to help me and knocks me off completely at least my concentration. The teacher originally sends out what we want people to see so I go to my email and use that screen. It seems like I have to do this part when the main zoom is on so I really can't prepare in advance. I often have trouble finding what the teacher sent me in that it takes too much time since there are people waiting to see my presentation. I had all working once but something goes wrong. The first time no one could see my screen and the second time they couldn't hear. How should this be done. Thanks

[@ttvRussell]

You need to share sound as well as share the screen. Open up anything you are expected to share in advance of the lesson so that it is ready. More free Zoom videos here www.teachertrainingvideos.com/Zoom

[@roomaroom3154]

Can you share two desktops at the same time with zoom?

[@ttvRussell]

Hi there. Participants can share their screen and so can the host. But I don't believe you can share them simultaneously.

[@BallislifeBC]

How can I make the floating video same as participants view when sharing my screen? The floating video is blocking my view to the slide show but it's necessary to see my participants reaction when presenting.

[@ttvRussell]

You can move the floating video around and place it in a different place. You can also minimize it while you are screen sharing. I often turn off my camera when I am going through a slide show and then turn it back on when I come out of screen sharing.

[@felixvillaosano]

Russell If I present my Powerpoint presentation... could they see my note guide written below the slides?

[@ttvRussell]

Felix that will depend on what you screen share. You could screen share with the notes open on the page and then they will see them. What you choose to screen share, they will see. More free Zoom videos here www.teachertrainingvideos.com/Zoom

[@MitchellRoseFilms]

My PowerPoint style is to use it in a supportive way, not the main thing. I don't want the students to just read the words of a PowerPoint slide while hearing a disembodied voice. The students should be looking at and listening to me, and the PowerPoint text is just there to underscore what I'm saying. What I would like the students to see on their end is a divided screen: one window being the PowerPoint slide and the other window being me. What I would like to see on my side is also a split screen, but with the PowerPoint slide in one window (so I know where I am) and all the students in the other screen so I can "read the room." Is there a way to do this? Thanks very much.

[@ttvRussell]

Hello Mitchell Rose Films. Good query. Because you want a different set up of what you can see to what your students can see, this might be tricky. The video bar and view options allow you (the host) to see participants how you want to see them. You can share your PowerPoint window rather than share whole screen, but you would probably need to get them to set their video bar (viewing panel) so that that they have you on Speaker view, not gallery view. Normally, when having a window(e.g. PowerPoint) full screen, the speaker video is quite small but you can make it floating and larger than the default. So it is possible, but you wouldn't have full control over it, you would need to get them to follow your instructions and make your video appear larger to them and the PowerPoint size smaller, if possible. Only you can control the PowerPoint slides. There is another tutorial where I talk more about the controls using screen sharing here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4vZaGOaqNSHnsU Hope that helps a little.

[@MitchellRoseFilms]

@@ttvRussell Thanks Russell. I actually did some more experimenting with this and I found that the best way for me to do this is to start your Keynote presentation so that the share goes fullscreen, then I have the students go up to the top and under View Options select side-by-side. Then they go over to the grabber on the dividing line and pull the dividing line over until the two windows are equal size. And lastly go up to the top and choose Speaker View.

[@ttvRussell]

@@MitchellRoseFilms Glad you worked it out. Experimenting is a good way to find out what works best.

[@PalomaGN-PoppieS]

Hi Russell, thanks a lot for the video. I have been using zoom -I have a paid version- for over a year now and was very happy with it. However, I've just received communication from the Spanish police advising Zoom users to uninstall the app as there are lots of security issues coming up right now. What do you think as all my classes are now via Zoom? Thanks a lot!

[@ttvRussell]

Paloma that was fake news. Zoom is not more or less secure than other systems. They are all much the same.

[@Ryth-is-king]

Thank you! Question: if I'm sharing a powerpoint slide and then I want to ask a quick question to the rest of the people in the meeting I'm hosting, so I want to see their faces, listen to them, and then quickly go back to my presentation, how can I do that?

[@ttvRussell]

Best to stop screen sharing and come back to webcam view with gallery.

[@janecebedo6302]

thank you

[@ttvRussell]

You're welcome

[@odalysdominguez1138]

how to amplifier the size of the videos from you tube for my viewers when i am sharing it ????? it looks small

[@ttvRussell]

when you screen share a video in KZbin, look down at the KZbin video and look to the right, you have 3 sizes If you make it bigger for you, it will be bigger for your viewers too. More free Zoom videos here www.teachertrainingvideos.com/Zoom

[@thetrainrev5483]

Russell I have Presentation Assistant which annotates mouse clicks and movements. I cannot get it to work on Zoom. What annotation app do you use to highlight your mouse while you are screen sharing on Zoom, please. Thanks and Blessings TheTrainRev

[@ttvRussell]

Duane, the cursor is added when I make the videos.I use a technology called Camtasia This video introduces it for free www.teachertrainingvideos.com/language-learning-content-sites

[@abdulrazak5996]

We don't have setting options like you showed on left side, is it a different version

[@ttvRussell]

Abdul, just max the screen size and they will be there. Anyway it is just the same list but the basic and advanced buttons must move you through the list faster. Here are more Zoom videos www.teachertrainingvideos.com/Zoom

[@melissaleggett7761]

Can we drop PowerPoint presentations and other documents into the breakout rooms? For example if I want students to read a passage together, and maybe annotate it together to share with the whole class, how can I do that?

[@ttvRussell]

Hi Melissa. Although you can't 'drop' PowerPoint presentations into all rooms simultaneously, you can join each room in turn and do this. Or you could share the PowerPoint with the participants using file transfer in the chat window before assigning the rooms. Check if your version does this. Or get them to take a screenshot of the passage. If you want just a couple of slides have a version of the .ppt that you are happy to share with them. But do this before assigning the breakout rooms. Hope that helps. More here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hIfYlYl5p7yppqc

[@melissaleggett7761]

Russell Stannard (Teacher Training Videos) Thank you for the information. I’ll definitely play with these suggestions to see what works best for my students.
