Sharing your Screen in Webex:

  1. In your meeting, click the “Share” button. Depending on the size of your screen, this button might appear as either just the icon (image 1.1) or it might say “Share” alongside the icon (image 1.2). The buttons will do the same thing, regardless of whether it says “Share” or only appears as the icon.

  1. A “Share content” pop-up will appear prompting you to select what you would like to share (image 1.3). If you are only sharing content from one application, select the application you are going to be sharing. For example, if you are only going to share a quick YouTube video, select “Google Chrome” on the right. However if you want to share everything on your screen, select the appropriate “Screen” option on the left-hand side.

    1. In image 1.3, there are two “screen” options, as the user taking the screenshots was utilizing a second monitor. If you are only using one monitor, you will only have one screen option appear. Similarly, the applications that appear on the right side demonstrate the applications that are open on the user’s computer.

  1. If you will be sharing videos or other content with audio during your meeting, ensure you have toggled on “Share computer audio,” and select the appropriate “Optimize” option from the drop-down menu (image 1.4).
