Zoom just posted its best quarterly results in the company’s history with strong guidance for the next quarter. We’ve seen Microsoft and Google target Zoom with their video call services like Microsoft Teams and Google Meet. Still Zoom is holding its ground with features like rich, easy-to-use whiteboard screen sharing, the ability to share your iPhone or iPad screen on Zoom using AirPlay on Windows and Mac.
During group video calls, the administrator may want to show the current screen, file, current PowerPoint slide, etc. using screen sharing. It makes the whole conversation a hassle. You can also share iPhone and iPad screens directly with Zoom video calls.
This feature can be useful when you want to show something on the iPhone or iPad screen to Zoom participants. I wanted to show my dad some change options on his iPhone to fix the problem. I used the iPhone screen sharing feature on Zoom and showed him how to reset the iPhone to fix the problem. That’s one of the use cases for iPhone/iPad screen sharing on Zoom.
In this post, I will show you how to share your iPhone or iPad screen during a Zoom meeting. Start.
Share iPhone/iPad screen on Zoom
There are two ways to mirror iPhone or iPad screen to Zoom. Use a USB cable or select the wireless AirPlay option. Follow the steps below.
Step 1: Open the Zoom app on your Mac or Windows.
Step 2: Tap ‘New meeting’ to start a new Zoom call.
Step 3: Join the meeting using computer audio to enable audio in the group video call.
Step 4: Invite attendees and tap the Share Screen option at the bottom, or use the keyboard shortcut Shift + Command + S for Mac or Shift + Ctrl + S on Windows to open the screen sharing menu.
Speaking of keyboard shortcuts, read our dedicated post on Zoom keyboard shortcuts for Windows and Mac.
Step 5: Navigate to Screen Sharing > Basic and select iPhone/iPad via AirPlay or iPhone/iPad via cable.
While a USB cable can be reliable, using Wireless on a slow internet connection can present some obstacles. Additionally, loose or faulty cables can disrupt the screen sharing experience.
Step 6: Tap on your iPhone/iPad via AirPlay and the Zoom app will download the necessary plugin to enable the AirPlay service.
Step 7: Click the Share button below and return to your iPhone/iPad.
Step 8: On your iPhone/iPad, swipe down from the upper right corner to open Control Center.
Step 9: From Control Center, long press on Screen mirroring option.
Step 10: It will display the words “Zoom – Laptop name”. Tap on it and it will start streaming the iPhone screen to the Zoom app on Mac/Windows.
You can follow the same steps on iPad to share iPad screen with Zoom participants.
This is how we use it among team members. Usually I share my iPhone/iPad screen using AirPlay and show a custom image or something weird I find. It’s much better than recording the screen and then sharing it via a project management app. This functionality also makes the whole meeting seamless and fluid.
Screen sharing captions
iPhone/iPad screen sharing lets you do more. You can annotate on iPhone/iPad screen for better presentation. From the upper toolbar, tap Annotate to open the edit menu. It becomes easier for the presenter to introduce things.
Draw: The drawing menu includes a variety of shapes for you to choose from. You can use arrows, circles, rectangles, and other tools from the drawing menu to annotate on the iPhone screen.
Text and Format menu: Zoom allows you to add text on the iPhone/iPad screen. You can also change the text color, size, add bold or italic effect to it.
In addition, you can use the undo, redo and delete options to make changes. The save button is a must have for everyone. After brainstorming ideas with your team members, you should save the current screen to your PC. You can press save to save the current screen as an image to the Zoom folder on your device.
Thankfully, Zoom also offers a number of security options. During a live video call, you can tap the Privacy button at the top of the screen share window and turn off Annotate on Shared Content from the Allow Participants menu. It will prevent other members from annotating on the shared screen in Zoom.
Screen sharing when zoomed
When it comes to Screen Sharing, Zoom has taken the lead from Microsoft Teams, Google Meet and others. I like how Zoom allows flexibility for screen sharing using various options like Dropbox, OneDrive, Box, second camera, files etc.
