As a host or presenter, you can use the Share pod to share selected windows, selected applications, or your entire desktop. The shared regions of your screen appear in attendees’ Share pods, and attendees can follow the progress of your pointer as you move it across your screen. You can also pause the region you are sharing and annotate it, using one of several annotation tools.

While inactive, the host’s Share pod displays the Send An E‑mail Invitation and Share My Screen buttons, and also displays the meeting URL.

While a screen is being shared, additional tools appear along the bottom of the Share pod:

• Attendees can use the zoom tool to view the shared content at actual size or scale it to fit the size of their Share pods.

• A host or presenter can click a button to request control of the shared screen or click Pod Options to change display settings.

• The person currently screen sharing can click a button to stop sharing, click Pod Options to change display settings, and click the Adobe Acrobat Connect icon in the taskbar (Windows) or icon bar (Mac OS) to access commands such as Pause And Annotate, Choose Window To Share, and Stop Control.

The first time you share your screen, you are prompted to install the Adobe Acrobat Connect Add‑in. The add‑in is a version of Flash Player with additional features that allow hosts and presenters to share their screens.
