Visual Space manual, Meetings, Share Your Screen And Choose A View

Use this walkthrough when you want to present a display or application window, confirm that the meeting received it, and arrange the stage around the content. You will also learn how to move between several simultaneous shares, replace your source, and stop presenting without leaving the call.

Present a screen or window, check that the intended source is visible, and choose a layout that makes it easy to follow. Several participants can share at once; each share has its own selectable feed.

Before starting, open the material you want to show and decide how much of your display the room should see. Sharing an entire screen includes anything that appears on it.

Choose A Source

•
Join the meeting - Open the stage and confirm that the connection is ready.
•
Choose Share screen - Use the screen-share control in the call bar or expanded picture-in-picture.
•
On the web, use the browser's picker - Select from the sources it offers and confirm sharing. Choices and wording depend on the browser and operating system.
•
In a supported desktop app, choose a preview - The Visual Space selector separates Screens and Windows. Select the intended source and use Share source.

Cancelling the picker does not start a share. If the desktop selector says Nothing available to share, open the desired screen or window and check the operating system's screen-capture permission before trying again.

Confirm What The Room Can See

•
Check the share control - It should now offer Stop sharing screen.
•
Find your share feed - In Grid, look for your separate screen-share tile. Your camera or audio tile can remain alongside it.
•
Open the source feed - Confirm that it shows the intended content. Ask another participant to select it and check that they can see it before beginning a presentation.

Starting a share makes it available to the room. It does not force everyone to select it.

Choose The View You Need

Use Stage to keep the source large with other feeds in a carousel. Use Focus when small text or detailed artwork needs more room. Return to Grid to compare several active shares or choose another source.

Selecting another feed or changing layout does not stop your share. The layout you choose also does not rearrange another participant's stage.

Replace Or Stop Your Share

In a supported desktop app, reopen the screen-source selector, choose another screen or window, and use Switch share. Where the browser or platform does not offer replacement, stop the current share and begin again with the new source.

Use Stop sharing screen to remove your share while remaining in the call. Your microphone and camera have separate controls.

Present While Working Elsewhere

Close the stage to continue in Visual Space with picture-in-picture. The screen share remains active, including when you collapse the preview to an edge.


The active-share indicator and stop control remain visible after the full stage closes, confirming that changing view does not stop publication.

If you are sharing the whole display, stop the share before opening unrelated private material. When finished with the conversation itself, use Leave meeting rather than merely closing the stage.

Resolve A Sharing Problem

•
No picker appears - Look for a browser or operating-system prompt, and check whether screen-capture permission was denied. Reopen the share action after resolving it.
•
Share source is unavailable - Select a source card and wait for its preview to load.
•
The app reports Could not start screen sharing - Keep the source open, check permission, and retry. Do not assume others can see it until the share control and feed both confirm publication.
•
The wrong source is visible - Stop sharing, then select the intended source. A layout change only changes the view; it does not replace what you are sending.
•
The share freezes - Check the meeting connection indicator. Allow reconnection to finish, then confirm that the feed moves again. Restart the share if it has not recovered.

Media and call controls covers device and connection states; Stage and layouts explains feed selection and fullscreen.
