Method #2: Method #2: In Desktop Zoom App, Share Content from iOS Device |
Method #3: Other Device Sharing Options
Why?
- Show unique apps running on another device
Method #1: Share Content from a 2nd Device Connected on Zoom
- Two devices in same Zoom meeting
- Cross-platform (any device/OS); simple -- in concept
- However, assuming both devices are in the same physical room,
to minimize distracting feedback echos and overdubbing effects,
you need to be agile at turning on/off: - audio input (microphone) -- Zoom: Unmute / Mute;
- output (speakers) -- OS volume setting;
- camera to avoid multiple views of you in Gallery -- Zoom: Video on/off
- Enable co-hosts in Zoom settings.
- device1: host opens Zoom meeting.
- device2: connect to the open Zoom meeting
- device1: make device2 a co-host.
- For setup -- assuming not ready to share the device2 yet
device2: Mute the device microphone -- Zoom: Mute;
device2: Turn off the speaker -- OS volume: off.
device2: Turn off video - speaker volume controls: keyboard/buttons [on right]; menu [below]
- volume control panels: Mac: input, Mac: output, Win
- When ready to share screen from 2nd device,
- screen sharing. device1: off*; device2: on
- microphone. device1: Zoom: Mute; device2: Zoom: Unmute
- speakers. device1: OS volume off; device2: OS volume on
- video. device1: Zoom: Video off; device2: Zoom: Video on
- If successful, device1 is invisible & silent; device2 now main presenter.
- To switch back to other device, repeat steps, reversing roles of two devices.
- *Advanced: It is possible to share multiple screens at once.
This might make sense if most participants had 2 monitors
and/or knew how to switch between the screens using View Options. - Zoom: Enabling and adding a co-host
- Zoom: Sharing multiple screens simultaneously
- Zoom: Sharing multiple screens in a Zoom Room
Participants using dual monitors can see the two most recently shared screens on each monitor.
Participants using a single monitor see the most recently shared screen. Participants can select View Options to change the screen they are viewing
Method #2: In Desktop Zoom App, Share Content from iOS Device
- Mac or Windows Zoom app can share
a window wirelessly or via cable
containing iPhone or iPad desktop - Wireless -- Apple Screen Mirroring
(aka "AirPlay") is easiest -- Mac, Win - Wired (lightning) cable connection -- Mac-only
- Zoom: Sharing your screen (iOS) with the Zoom desktop client (both wireless and wired)
- Zoom: iOS screen sharing
- Zoom: Share an iOS device screen using a cable
Wireless (Mac, Win)
- Requirements: same WiFi network
- iOS 11.0+
- macOS 10.9+; hardware 2012 or newer
- Windows 10+
- iOS:
Settings > Control Center > Customize Controls >
-- one time setup
+: Screen Recording - Mac/Win:
Zoom: Share Screen > Share sound?
iPhone/iPad (via AirPlay) > Share Screen
[above right: instructions]
Zoom: "If prompted, choose to install the plug-in"
-- not sure if one-time for Windows? - iOS: (swipe)
Control Center >
Screen Mirroring > Zoom-"your computer"
[right: Mac Zoom sharing iPad] - Notes: files AirDropped during sharing might corrupt connection;
if so, stop / restart screen sharing
Zoom: "Some types of videos cannot be shared
when using Screen Mirroring"
Wired (Mac)
- Requirements: lightning cable
- iOS 8.0+
- macOS 10.10+
- Mac:
Zoom: Share Screen > Share Sound?
iPhone/iPad via Cable > Share Screen - iOS: (popup)
Trust This Computer? > Trust
if passcode is required, each last character entered may be visible to others;
perhaps replace passcode with a simpler temporary one?
(see: P@s$w0rdz: Change Passcode for Phone, Tablet)
Method #3: Other Device Sharing Options
- Share window containing screen from other device,
e.g., X-Mirage or other 3rd party apps
-- see older OLLI presentation: Projecting an iOS Device - Share window from an app running on a different OS
via an emulators or virtual machine on your system, e.g., - Windows apps via Parallels, VirtualBox, CrossOver
- iOS/iPadOS apps on new ARM-based (M1) Mac
- Android apps on Chromebook; etc.
- Zoom: Sharing your screen in Zoom Rooms using share.zoom.us (via cloud)
(when might this be appropriate? I haven't tried) - Other?
