Share PowerPoint & View Zoom Participants

Below are instructions for viewing a PowerPoint presentation along with a larger image of the Zoom participants. Two monitors are required. If you only have one monitor, go to the Share Content page on the left.

View Student Video Larger when Screen Sharing (Multiple Monitors Required)

If you would rather view students larger than what is available with the floating video panel, the setting show your Zoom windows while screen sharing can be helpful. Your Zoom call will remain its normal size on one monitor while your content being shared will be on the other.
