Webex App | Share content in a meeting
When you share content in Webex App, everyone in the meeting can easily see what's being discussed. Anyone can share content, but only one person can share at a time.
If you are a host or cohost of the meeting, you can disable sharing for all other participants during a meeting. See Webex App | Turn off content sharing for participants in a meeting.
If you prefer, you can share a file, share only a portion of your screen, or share your camera.
Some calls in the app have these features too.
You can share content when you're connected to a room or desk device.

Choose the screen or application that you want to share. If you share your screen, we show your Webex App windows, by default.

To share your Webex App meeting window and all floating windows, you must select Share all windows from an application. Hold Shift to select multiple applications. Everyone in the meeting sees one of the shared applications at a time only. If you don't see the app that you want to share, scroll to see all your open apps, or drag the resize handle on any of the four corners or sides to make the window larger or smaller. You'll just see the name of the app when the app is minimized, when the app relies
on hardware to display graphics, or when it's a Universal Windows Platform app. |
