Along with classroom AV technology, like projectors, you can also share your screen with other people's devices. You may want to use this type of screensharing when you don't need functionality that Zoom offers, like voice or other audio support. This is especially useful when you're presenting in the same room as your viewers.
Please use Chrome (or a Chrome-based browser like MS Edge) or Firefox for best support. Sharing from phones or tablets is not supported, however, those devices can be used to view shared screen content.
To get started, go to https://sharescreen.knight.domains
You will see you have the ability to "Share Screen" or "Create Reusable Link"
One-Off Screen Sharing Sessions
Click "Share Screen"
On the following page click "Select Screen to Share." You will then be able to select the screen or individual application you wish to share.
Copy the "View link" and send it to the people you'd like to be able to view it.
