Share Your Screen using a Windows Computer (PC)

To share your screen, images, or files while in a video visit, use the ‘share screen’ feature.

For example, if you are in a clinical video visit and the doctor needs a better view of something, you can share an image file while in the video visit. Or if you want to share a PowerPoint presentation or YouTube video.

For the best performance, use a Chrome or Edge browser.

Firefox does not support sharing sound in shared content.

  1. Open the content you want to share (e.g., browser tab, app window, image or PDF file). For the best viewing, maximize the window size.
  2. Return to the video window and click Share screen button (Share Screen).

  4. If you need to share sound (e.g., a YouTube video), use the “Tab” or “Entire screen” option. Sharing a “Window” does not include sound.
    • If you are sharing a browser tab (e.g. YouTube video), click the "Also share tab audio" option.
    • If you are sharing an entire screen (e.g., PowerPoint), click the "Also share system audio" option.
    • Note: These options do not appear in a Firefox browser. Only Chrome, Edge, and Safari browsers enable sound sharing
  5. Select the desired item that you want to share.
  6. To stop sharing, click Screen being shared (Stop Sharing) within the video window.
