Screen Sharing

Screen Sharing features are open to all participants in a meeting and not limited to the Meeting Host only.

To begin screen sharing:

  1. Click the Monitor icon at the bottom of the screen:

    Share screen

  2. In UNIVERGE BLUE® CONNECT, you may choose to share your Entire Screen, or another application shown to you to share that single application:

    Entire screen

To stop screen sharing you may choose the floating widget shown at the bottom of the screen:

Stop share

Or navigate back to the meeting screen and see the top of your screen there:

Stop

Note: for best results, use a screen resolution of 1920 x 1080. A higher resolution (2560 X 1440) will cause your audience to see a blurry screen

Multi-screenshare

In the UNIVERGE BLUE® CONNECT Desktop App and Chrome or Edge browser, meeting attendees can share more than 1 screen at a time (one screen per participant).
