Share your computer screen

You can share your screen if you are the host or a presenter.

Start screen sharing

  1. In a meeting room, do one of the following:

    • Click Share My Screen in the middle of the Share pod.

    • Select Meeting > Share My Computer Screen.

      If you do not have a supported version of the Adobe Acrobat Connect Add‑in, a dialog box asks whether you want to install it. The add‑in supports screen sharing. Click Allow to download the add‑in.

  2. In the Start Screen Sharing dialog box, do one of the following:

    • Select Desktop to share your entire desktop. If you have more than one monitor connected to your computer, a desktop appears for each monitor. Choose the desktop that you want to share.

    • Select Windows to share one or more windows that are open on your computer. Choose the windows that you want to share.

    • Select Applications to share one or more applications that are running on your computer. Choose the applications that you want to share.

  3. Click the Share button.

Stop screen sharing

 Do one of the following:

  • In the taskbar (Windows) or icon bar (Mac OS), click the Adobe Acrobat Connect icon  and select Stop Screen Sharing.

  • At the top of a shared window or application, click the red Stop Sharing button.

  • At the bottom of the Share pod, click Stop Sharing.

Previewing the shared screen

When sharing an application, window, or desktop, you can preview the shared region in your meeting room. (You can also see a still preview of the shared region when you pause and annotate a shared screen.)

 In the meeting room, do one of the following:

  • Click Pod Options  in the lower-right corner of the Share pod, and select Preview In Pod While Screen Sharing.

  • Click Show Participant View  in the lower-left corner of the Share pod.

Note: If you preview in the Share pod while sharing your desktop, the application broadcasts and plays itself back repeatedly, producing a recursive window-in-window effect. If you preview in the Share pod while sharing a window or application, arrange visible windows to avoid covering the shared region.
