Using Webex, you can share your computer screen with all the participants.

A recent MacOS update has changed privacy permissions, and you may need to give Webex permission to view your screen. If your share button is gray, or you have received a notification, follow this guide: Reallow Webex Permissions on MacOS.

Preparing to Share your Screen

  • Open the documents and presentations that you would like to share before you start your session. While not necessary, opening your files beforehand saves you the worry of navigating your files while sharing your screen.

Be sure that you have no private information on your screen.

Sharing your Content

  1. At the bottom of the Webex window, you will see a button entitled Share. Click on that button.
    The Share button is next to “Start / Stop video”. If you do not see text on the buttons, make the Webex App fullscreen.

  2. If you would like to share audio along with your screen you must check the share computer audio box.

  3. Choose the content you would like to share. Sharing the whole screen, or Screen 1, is recommended.

    1. You may share your whole screen, an application, or a single file.

    2. Learn the differences here:

  4. Once you are sharing content, all your controls move to the top of the screen to the orange oval-shaped button. Hover over this button to access your controls.
