Sharing your iOS screen from the Zoom desktop app

Zoom allows you to share your iOS screen (from an iPhone or iPad) in a meeting using the Zoom desktop app. You can share wirelessly for both macOS and Windows, utilizing iOS Screen Mirroring, or you can connect your iOS device to your macOS computer with a cable to share.

You can also share your entire iOS device screen using Screen Recording on iOS 11 or later.

Notes:

• Some types of videos cannot be shared when using Screen Mirroring.
• If the Disable desktop screen sharing for meetings you host setting (located in your Meeting setting) is enabled, it will prevent the ability to use either of the sharing options. Enable desktop screen sharing before you start a meeting.
