Using share screen in chat

You can easily share your screen within a one-on-one chat in Team Chat, providing a seamless experience similar to the screen-sharing options in Zoom Meetings. You have the flexibility to choose what you want to share, including the option to share multiple screens.

Note: Audio and video are disabled by default when you share your screen. You can enable audio and video (depending on admin settings) and even invite additional participants to join the screen share. During the screen share, your profile status will automatically update to In a meeting.
