Online screen sharing and meetings made easy
Screen sharing is a powerful collaborative feature that empowers you to share the contents of your screen with a single or multiple devices. With our web-based screen sharing protocols, you can seamlessly collaborate with your team and conduct training sessions remotely using Zoho Meeting's online screen share app. This convenient feature is available on both our online meeting and webinar platforms.
Share screen online using Zoho Meeting
Screen sharing software allows you to share your screen securely over a computer or mobile device with other meeting participants in seconds. Remotely collaborate on documents to deliver presentations using our free online screen sharing app.
Share the entire screen or a window
Share your entire screen between devices or only a select application window with other participants. By sharing only an application window, the rest of your screen—including the applications you use, your desktop wallpaper, or any open browser tabs —will not be visible to others in your meeting, thus you can securely share screen online without worrying about your privacy.
Secure remote screen sharing software
Online screen sharing is encrypted in Zoho Meeting, on both the presenters’ and participants’ ends for all online meetings. On the presenter’s end, live screen sharing is encrypted through WebRTC and uses DTLS-SRTP encryption. On the participants’ end, online screen sharing is encrypted using the TLS 1.2 protocol.
Record screen sharing
In Zoho Meeting, online screen sharing is captured in meeting recordings along with the audio and video. These remote screen sharing recordings can easily be accessed by the host of the meeting or webinar, and they can share them with other participants if required. These recordings help you recap your meetings or easily catch up on the discussions you missed.
Browser-based screen sharing
Share your screen during online meetings and webinars using our screen sharing website, without downloading any software. As a web-based online conferencing software, Zoho Meeting's easy to use "share my screen" feature allows you to share screen online directly from your browser. You can also use our screen sharing app to share your screen between mobile devices.
Collaborate with remote access
The remote access feature in Zoho Meeting helps meeting participants access the presenter’s shared screen using their mouse and keyboard. Use remote access to collaborate on documents or presentations during your online meetings.
Desktop screen sharing with video meetings
Share your screen and see other participants face-to-face through video conferencing. Video meetings using online desktop sharing help you articulate your thoughts better and build consensus during discussions and presentations.

Using Zoho Meeting, both the host and participants can become the presenter to share screen and collaborate over an online meeting.
Host
Host of the meeting has control over who can share screen online in a meeting. By default, only the meeting host can take the role of presenter and share the screen. If participants need to share their screen, they can request with the host. Host can either choose to approve or reject the screen sharing request.
Participants
Participants of the meeting can request the host to share their screen in the meeting. If the request is approved by the host, participants can share screen during online meetings. If the host rejects the request, participants will not be able to share screen over that particular meeting.
