How to Share Your Screen on Zoom?

Screen sharing in Zoom is undoubtedly one of the most valuable tools that Zoom has to offer. But unfortunately, you've had the terrible experience of trying to share your screen during a Zoom conference to present a video, only to find out that the other individuals on the call cannot hear the audio stream from the video.

"What causes this, and why can't I share my screen on Zoom?"

The Zoom app will default to playing the audio recording from your microphone. This makes sense, given that, for the most part, participants in Zoom meetings desire to be able to communicate verbally with one another. On the other hand, adjusting your settings so you may share screen Zoom while playing music or a movie in the background is a simple process. You should be aware of where to look and which buttons to press.

Following our walkthrough of how to share the screen in Zoom with audio, we'll provide you with a few more points to help you get the most out of using the Zoom app to share your screen.
