As a host or presenter in a meeting, you
can share windows, applications, or your entire desktop. Your account
administrator can restrict the applications and processes that you
can share. As a participant in a meeting, to share your screen, a
host must give you permission or promote you to a presenter or host.
When
you share anything on your computer screen, actions you take in
the shared region are visible to all participants in the meeting.
Participants follow the progress of your cursor as you move it across
your screen.
Hosts can show their cursors
without sharing their screens. Choose Meeting > Preferences,
and select a Host Cursors option.
The region or regions
that you share must be visible on your desktop to be visible in
the Share pod to other participants. Overlapping windows on the
desktop appear as a blue crosshatched pattern in the Share pod.
Optimize screen sharing quality (Host)
-
Choose Meeting > Preferences.
-
Select Quality and Frame Rate settings that optimize
the tradeoff between image quality and speed.
For example, if there are large delays before attendees
see changes to a shared screen, reduce the Quality setting. Or,
if smooth motion is essential to video you are sharing, increase
Frame Rate.
These settings interact with the Room Bandwidth
preferences. (See
Set meeting room bandwidth
.)
