By default, Emerson meetings adhere to our Zoom security standards, such as requiring logging in as a default to entering an Emerson hosted meeting. For Screen Sharing, by default, we allow all participants to share their screens by default, as this is often required in group settings.
Also, by default, we only allow the Host to share when someone else is sharing.
Change screen-sharing defaults in your account
If you would like different defaults:
- Go to https://emerson.zoom.us and Sign In
- Go to Settings on the left side
- Under In Meeting (Basic), look for the Screen-Sharing settings and make changes to fit your needs.
Changing screen-sharing options in a Zoom meeting
- Once your Zoom meeting has started, look for the green arrow at the bottom of the Zoom window to use Screen-Sharing.
- To change screen-sharing settings while in the meeting, select the ^ next to Screen-Share.Here you can adjust who can screen-share and who can start sharing while someone else is sharing.
Using screen-share in the meeting
To start screen-sharing in a Zoom meeting, simply click the green icon at the bottom labeled Share Screen.
Sharing a PowerPoint presentation
To screen share a PowerPoint presentation:
