Watching screen shares

When someone in your room shares their screen, their row in the room list shows it. Select the screen icon on their row to watch.

On a computer

Shares open in a separate viewer window. You can watch up to four at once: each share you open becomes a tile in that window.

• Arrange. Tiles lay themselves out: two side by side, three as one beside two, four in a grid. Drag the gap between tiles to resize them. To make one tile large with the others in a strip beside it, move the pointer over it and choose Enlarge this screen share; choose it again to go back.
• Zoom. Scroll over a tile to zoom in, and drag to move around. Double-click to zoom in or back out. The controls at the bottom of the tile also zoom, reset the view, and choose how the share fits the tile.
• Sound. Every share starts muted. Move the pointer over a tile and choose Unmute screen share to hear it. Only one share plays at a time, so unmuting one mutes the others.
• Fullscreen. View fullscreen on any tile fills the display with the whole window. Press Esc to leave.
• Close. Close a tile to stop watching that share. Closing the window stops them all.

The window holds four shares. To watch a fifth, close one first.

Each share you watch is a full video stream, so several at once use more of your computer and your connection than one does.

On a phone or tablet

You watch one share at a time. When more than one person is sharing, tap the sharer's name at the top to switch to another share. Tap the picture to show the controls.
