Following the presenter’s pointer in zoom App
Presenters can automatically follow their pointer on your desktop client when they share a screen with a higher resolution than your own. You can use this method to stay focused on the important part of the shared screen when only a portion of it is visible.

- Zoom desktop client
- Windows: 5.3.1 (52877.0927) or higher
- macOS: 5.3.1 (52877.0927) or higher
Note:
In a Zoom Rooms meeting, the presenter cannot share content.
