How do I share my screen from an iPad?

Presenters on an iPad can share content directly from the app! Sharing content is only available when using an iPad, it is not available using the iPhone.

Start content sharing

  1. Make sure you are the current organizer or presenter.
  2. Tap the Screen Sharing icon in the toolbar.
  3. Enable the Present Content toggle. To end content sharing, disable the same toggle.
  4. Select one of the content sharing options.
    • Files: Use this option to open display a file that you previously saved to a third-party file-sharing app (Dropbox or Google Drive).
    • Website (temporarily unavailable): Open and share a web page by entering a URL in the address bar in the toolbar. Alternatively, you can tap the Bookmarks icon and select a bookmark.
    • Whiteboard: Use drawing tools to illustrate your points on a whiteboard and broadcast it to attendees in real time.
  5. Tap the Play icon in the floating toolbar to start broadcasting the content to other attendees.

Use drawing tools

Presenters can use drawing tools to illustrate their points while sharing content from their iPad!
  1. Make sure you've tapped the Play icon in the toolbar so that you can share content.
  2. Tap the Drawing Tools icon in the Grab Tab to expand and display the main controls. You may use Drawing Tools on any screen you're sharing.

The Drawing Tools icon turns Drawing Tools on or off. When Drawing tools are on, the Drawing Tools icon is blue and the Drawing Tools toolbar is displayed.
 / The Play icon starts content sharing and the Pause icon pauses the screen so attendees will only be able to view the last screen that was displayed.
The Pen icon lets you draw and annotate on-screen. You can select different colors and adjust the width of the markings.
The Highlighter icon lets you highlight certain areas of your screen. You can choose from 4 different highlighter colors and adjust the width of the markings.
The Whiteboard icon brings the whiteboard to the screen which you can use to draw on a blank slate.
The Undo icon undoes the previous action you made.
The Redo icon redoes whatever action you've previously undone.
The Erase All icon erases all drawings from the screen.

Show or hide "Audience View" pane

The Audience View pane displays a thumbnail view of what attendees see when you share your screen. This helps you confirm that attendees are seeing what you want them to see (and remind you to turn on screen sharing if you've forgotten).

You can choose to show or hide the audience view pane at any time.

  1. Tap the Screen Sharing icon .
  2. Use the Audience View toggle to show or hide the pane. You can also tap the icon on the pane to close it at any time.
