iOS screen sharing in zoom App
Overview
iOS devices running iOS 11 and higher allow you to share your entire screen. Apps and other content can be shared this way.
When sharing your entire screen via iOS, you cannot annotate. You can share annotated or entire screens on older versions of iOS using the Zoom desktop client for Mac or PC and Airplay or the Zoom desktop client for Mac and wired sharing. Find out more about Airplay and wired sharing.
