Share your computer screen in a Studio as the Host, a Guest, or a Producer and it is saved as a separate video track. You can choose to share your entire computer screen, a program's window, or a browser's tab.
For best results and a smooth video of the screen share, we recommend the following:
Before Recording
- If you are on a Mac, confirm that your browser has permission to record (share) the screen.
- Close all other programs and tabs.
- Screen sharing, especially during a recording, uses a significant amount of your computer's processing power.
- Ensure you have a strong internet connection.
- Turn off any VPNs, firewalls, or browser extensions.
While Recording
- Keep the window you are sharing at the same size for the duration of the recording.
- Otherwise, each time you change the window's dimensions, a new video track of the shared screen is created using its new resolution, including its height and width.
- For visibility of content in the Studio:
- You can increase the size of the content you are sharing for easier reading, especially if it is text.
- The shortcut to adjust its size is usually to hold the ⌘ key (Mac)/ctrl key (PC), then press the + or - keys.
- Each participant can expand or minimize the video frame with the shared content in the Studio on their computer. The change only applies to their view of the Studio.
- Participants on a mobile device can pinch-to-zoom the video frame.
- You can increase the size of the content you are sharing for easier reading, especially if it is text.
TIP: See Studio Participants While Sharing
You can choose one video frame to float and stay visible above all other windows and programs by using picture-in-picture mode.
