Zoom Screen Share Best Practices

Overview

The first rule of Zoom Club: Don’t give up control of your screen.

You do not want unwanted people in your public event to take control of the screen and sharing content with the group. You can restrict this — before the meeting and during the meeting in the host control bar — so that you’re the only one who can screen-share.
 

Steps to Take

Prevent Participants from Screen Sharing

To prevent participants from screen sharing during a call, using the host controls at the bottom, click the arrow next to Share Screen and then Advanced Sharing Options.

Under “Who can share?” choose Only Host and close the window. You can also lock the Screen Share by default for all your meetings in your web settings.

Disable Annotation

Prevent participants from annotating the screen during your screen share by clicking on the More button inside a Zoom meeting and select “Disable participants annotation.”
