Meeting Hosts
To enable this feature:
- Ensure Configuring Engage Meeting is complete.

Allowing Attendees to Screen Share as
Meeting Hosts
Attendee Screen Sharing is available on the iOS, Android, and Windows HCP Apps. It is also available when using the Web Client from the following browsers:
- Chrome – Version 72 or later
- Firefox – Version 66 or later
- Edge – Version 17 or later
For attendees to share their screen, the host must select the Stop Share button in the Meeting Controls Menu.
After the host selects this button, other attendees may share their screen by selecting their Share button. When an attendee begins screen sharing, a thumbnail of the shared screen displays.
The host views the attendee’s screen share in full screen, with the Meeting Controls Bar and Video Ribbon as an overlay.
The host can minimize their view of the attendee’s shared screen by selecting the Minimize button. The minimized shared screen view then displays above the video ribbon.
The host can immediately share their screen again by selecting the Share button in the Meeting Controls Menu. This stops screen sharing by any attendee and initiates the host’s sharing again.
If no one in the meeting is sharing their screen, the Active Speaker view displays for attendees.
