Sharing your iOS screen from the Zoom mobile app


When you are in a meeting on the Zoom mobile app for iOS, you can share your entire screen on a device running iOS 11 or higher to share apps and other content.

You cannot annotate when sharing your entire screen via iOS. If you need to annotate or share the entire screen on an older version of iOS, you can share using screen mirroring on the Zoom desktop client for macOS or Windows, or through wired sharing on the Zoom desktop client for macOS devices.
