Zoom x 2: 2. Share Content from a 2nd Device on Zoom

Method #1: Share Content from a 2nd Device Connected on Zoom |
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 >
+: Screen Recording -- one time setup
• 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?
