Sharing your screen (iOS) with the Zoom desktop client

Apple iOS devices can share their screen with Zoom using the Zoom desktop client. Both Macs and PCs can share wirelessly using iOS Screen Mirroring or with a cable connecting your iOS device to your Mac computer.

The iOS 11 or later version of Screen Recording also lets you share your entire iOS device screen. Click here for more information.

Notes:

• Screen Mirroring cannot be used to share some types of videos.
• The Disable desktop screen sharing for meetings you host setting (found on the Settings page) prevents you from using either of these sharing options.
