Thank you. That is very helpful. How can I break my students in two groups and both groups still able to see my sharing screen (like two groups work independently on a quiz that be shared on my screen)
You can't really do that. Once they are in break out rooms, they can share their screens. You would have to give the document you want to share to one of the students in each group and they could open it up.
@@ttvRussell This is the only real stupid thing about Zoom. It is unbelievable that this feature is not developped in zoom. I want to be able to use my screen for the breakoutrooms!!

Glad it was helpful, Kevin. Thanks for subscribing, too. Here's a more detailed tutorial about using Google Earth with Zoom: www.teachertrainingvideos.com/build_engagement_in_zoom
At about 14.00 you say to minimize the zoom to open PowerPoint slide. Sorry to say that zoom does not allow to minimize it . We have to end the meeting first!
Vijay you do not. Just click Zoom so that it is not full screen..you can do that at the top on the right and then you can maximise and minimise Zoom easily. I do it all the time and it is the first thing I train teacher to do when I work on training courses.
Enjoyed it Russell - I am going to tool around your videos to learn as much as I can. I will be hosting a sing-along during this crazy quarantine to raise spirits a bit. Goals: have lyrics on screen, see everyone singing, split screen so both can be accomplished by myself and participants, use internal audio to play the music, and be able to use internal mic to communicate and lead participants. Conceivably there may be 150+ participants, so I want to be knowledgeable for optimum enjoyment. Any ideas or advice on setting would be genuinely appreciated. I hope it’s possible to accomplish. Thank you.
Thanks for your detailed comment, Marty. 100+ in a get together such as this would require the pro version. That's also a large number to manage in terms of all playing along, but good luck! I made another video just about the settings and another where I deal with 10 problems/solutions here: www.teachertrainingvideos.com/Zoom
Thanks Russell for sending the youtube answer to my question on why the desktop looks different each time. I am going on a podcast so then the host under screen sharing should turn off disable desk top sharing for meeting you host. Then when i screen share my desk top will come up & be able to play my mp3 demo?
If you want to play an MP3 file. get it ready and open on your desktop, then screen share and remember to add audio and then share the screen and play the file.
Thanks so much for your advice! I am a special needs teacher and would like to screen share with my students while still being able to see them on the screen. They are visual learners and I need to see if I am losing their attention.
Thank you Russell for this link to your zoom Training on Sharing. If I open the PowerPoint or another document on my Desktop and then open Zoom and start my Lecture, will my PP or doc automatically be loaded into or show up in Share? Also, which Zoom product do you use that helps you teach students? It's not the basic Zoom. I teach University students and hope to be able to use Zoom effectively to hold their interest with Online teaching. I'm a Political Scientist and integrate Political Economics into all my courses. Thank you again, Angela
Hi Angela. Unlike Adobe Connect, when you share your screen in Zoom you not uploading the PowerPoint presentation or document into Zoom, but simply sharing the PowerPoint window. Note that if you are going to play audio, such as a video, even within the PowerPoint, you need to enable play computer sound before you start to share. I use Padlet a lot and here is an example of using Padlet with Zoom here: www.teachertrainingvideos.com/student_centered_zoom_lessons
Maybe you explained this...but here goes. What if you just want to keep a particular powerpoint screen on the main page, but send your participants to the break out rooms. Will they still see the main page with the powerpoint screen from their breakout rooms? If not...how can I make that work?
Hi Joe161964 . You can't allow your screen to be shared in all break out rooms simultaneously. However, if you are talking about one slide on a PowerPoint, I would get round this issue by taking a screenshot and sharing this with all the participants either before you go in or by sending the slides to them in the chat box. For a brief while, Zoom disabled the option to share a file. You can share an image (such as a screenshot). You can join a breakout room, one at a time, and share your screen then, but that is time consuming and will mean some won't have the slides to do the task you want. Hope that helps a little.
Hi Karen. That would be the paid-for Camtasia. I used it for all my tutorials here on CZcams. Even when I show other tools, such as screencast-o-matic or Zoom, I am using Camtasia to edit and produce the final video. www.teachertrainingvideos.com/screen-recording-software/a-mini-course-in-camtasia-2018-recommended-camtasia-trainer
Very clear and concise. One question: Am I able to keep open the participants screens while I am screen sharing? In essence, the screen would include the shared material as well as each of the participants. Thanks
No, you can't do that. They can open their screens and you can take control back if you want but you can't open their screens. More free Zoom videos here www.teachertrainingvideos.com/Zoom
That is probably because you are using the app. I always look into their website to control everything. More free Zoom videos here www.teachertrainingvideos.com/Zoom
Hi, when you are in Zoom, can you not go to advance settings and allow students to screen share. That is how I do it these days. You just click on the drop down link next to screen share and allow students to screen share. I have added more free videos on Zoom here www.teachertrainingvideos.com/Zoom
How can you manage your screenshare mode if you want to use 3 sites that you have already opened in the chrome? I want to use my Kahoot, Longman online dictionary and CZcams. I cannot see all of them when I open sharescreen window.
Sezen, open them in different tabs in your browser. You can then screen share you browser and jump from tab to tab. I do this all the time. More free Zoom videos here www.teachertrainingvideos.com/Zoom
Thanks Russell. This is very easy to follow and helpful. I have a question that is still yet to be answered: I have about a 50% chance of a video actually showing when I am using zoom meetings. The sound always plays, but half the time the participants can't actually see anything. It seems completely random. When I click onto screen share I get the options up, but the video is not always in the options page. Sometimes it is and the title of the box in which it is contained is 'films/videos', but this doesn't always appear. Sometimes I set up the video on my desk top and again it is a 50/50 chance of it playing. Any suggestions? It does seem to be worse when I have a couple of clips to show
Mark, always open your video in the background ready to play and make sure that it is that tab that is active. So when you screen share, the video will always be there. The problem with the video access could simply be the speed of the internet connection. If they have slow connection, they will not receive the video. Make sure you all turn off the webcams. Sorry for delay. Too much work this week.
@@ttvRussell Thanks Russell. No worries re time to respond, busy is good (though I'm less certain about too busy!!!). I have the videos primed and ready to show and still it's 50/50 whether they'll work or not. The last time I rehearsed with a colleague and the videos worked. I wrote down the steps I had taken, tried to repeat showing them and my colleague got sound, but no picture! I've not been trying to show them from you tube, but downloaded onto my laptop, so internet connection has not been an issue at all. It's all very confusing!
Very help ful video.i just want to know what if iam doing multitasking at the same time like clicking on the tool bar (dont want to show tool bar too ,) checking email or checking for a video but i want to hide my activity from students .so that they could watch the screen only .not my activity
Turn off the screen share, then whatever you are doing on your computer can't be seen by others. You might find this video really useful www.teachertrainingvideos.com/maximise_impact_breakout_rooms
How can I make the floating video same as participants view when sharing my screen? The floating video is blocking my view to the slide show but it's necessary to see my participants reaction when presenting.
You can move the floating video around and place it in a different place. You can also minimize it while you are screen sharing. I often turn off my camera when I am going through a slide show and then turn it back on when I come out of screen sharing.
Great video Russell - thanks so much. Can you tell me, can I assign various teachers to run the different breakout rooms before I press a general assign of the rest of the class? Is this something I can organise before the class starts when I first open up the meeting and the teachers join me ahead of the class? Many thanks
Yes, you would have to put the people into break out rooms manually. It is not difficult. Just choose that option instead of automatic. More free Zoom videos here www.teachertrainingvideos.com/Zoom
hi Russell, I love the way you have the presentation behind you as you teach. Please can you let me know how I could do that. I'd love to give it a try thanks Carol
Hi, I do that with a tool called Camtasia You can learn about it here www.teachertrainingvideos.com/screen-recording-software/a-mini-course-in-camtasia-2018-recommended-camtasia-trainer
How does a teacher prevent the problem of a student in a breakout room possibly screen-sharing inappropriate content with classmates? (Besides teaching behavior expectations beforehand, etc). Thanks!
It is an excellent question and very difficult problem. I am not sure you can stop students sharing when they are in breakout rooms. Sorry I can't be more help
@@ttvRussell you can prevent all screen sharing except host in the preferences, is all I found. Not a way to switch it on and off during the meeting though.
when you screen share a video in CZcams, look down at the CZcams video and look to the right, you have 3 sizes If you make it bigger for you, it will be bigger for your viewers too. More free Zoom videos here www.teachertrainingvideos.com/Zoom
Russell I am wondering why when screen sharing. Why the desktop doesnot come up? The other day it did not come up so i could play my mp3. When the meeting was over i closed zoom & opened up another Zoom & when i screen shared the desk top did come up. Why does it look difernet each time?
Sorry if it’s already been answered but during a zoom meeting..is it possible to do a share screen with just one individual without the rest seeing that?
Hmmm.. Only in a breakout room with that one person. Usually sharing screen will be seen by all in the room where that screen is being shared. You might want to show something and you could send something privately to them in the chat window.
I am using Camtasia. I put loads of videos on my website about Camtasia and they are very popular. You might find them useful. www.teachertrainingvideos.com/Camtasia_Training
@@ttvRussell Russell, I, too, use Camtasia and could do this for an asynchronous video. I was in a live training where the presenter had a green screen and sat on top of the screen share. Do you know how to do that in Zoom? It had the same effect of your video but all in Zoom.
Thank you so much for all your videos. They have been really helpful!!! I have just started trying to use Zoom and I'm having a couple of issues. When I have a meeting via Zoom after about 5-10 minutes the sound goes for both myself and the participant... my laptop is brand new and we have a high speed internet connection... what could it be? Also, when I do the screen share for various programmes like IWB, espresso etc... it works fine and so does the audio. However, when I try to share a clip from CZcams the audio doesn't work and then I loose the audio between myself and the participant. What could be causing that? I have also clicked the button to share the computer's audio... I tried the optimize button too. It worked properly a couple of times then reverted back to losing the sound... Thank you for your help! Natasha.
Hi Natasha. Thanks for you comments. I am not sure what is going wrong with your set up. It sounds like it should work. You are doing everything right. The audio shouldn't cut out in that way. I can only think it might be bandwidth issues, but you say that you have a high speed connection. Keep trying.
Of course. Just share your whole screen or choose the window which has the 'wheel of fortune' game. Remember to click on 'play computer sound' if you need the audio of the wheel, too.
Hello, can we prevent our student sharing a private meeting or events. OBS studio bypassed all the security of zoom. do you recommend something? all i mean is how to block all 3rd parties sharing my private event/meeting publicly.
This is quite hard to do. If students decide to share a link and a password there is not much you can do but of course you can control who enters from the waiting room. You can also insist that students log in with their correct names to hep you control who joins the room.
I am a connection where my supervisor has the zoom file, from time to time I need to share my screen and I see it on zoom but the other parties who are on my supervisors screen cannot see my shared document. (Actually, sometimes the file is one the screen but I cannot access it.) My supervisor keeps telling me to hit the upper left side of my screen but I have never understood what he means. I see there are a couple of symbols up there but I don't know what they are and what to do with them. It is a stressful point in the activity so It has to be done quickly or we will lose the audience so he then takes over. Do you have some suggestions for a solution?
That is probably to do with their internet speeds. There should be no problem as long as you have correctly shared the right screen. The problem is normally they don't have a connection quick enough to receive the share...screen sharing is quite internet heavy
Dear Mr. Stannard.I am currently studying your channell..I am hoping to set up live piano tutorials by screen sharing an active music application.I use an apple Imac.Is this possible without additional applications.Thank you,
Yes, it is really. You will need a good webcam that can film you at the piano and some good lighting to make sure that when you share the video, your students can clearly see you but yes it can be done for sure.
Hi Russell. Thanks for the info on really getting the most out of zoom. I host my meetings using my iPad. Is there a way to pass the control to my students after sharing my screen so they are able to annotate?
Hi @Musictips. That's a good question. I haven't tried Zoom on an iPad yet. I know that my colleague, Phil Longwell, has, and he said that you need to have iOS11 for it to work properly. However, it seems that you cannot annotate when sharing your entire screen via iOS. More information here: support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/115005890803-iOS-Screen-Sharing
@@ttvRussell Thanks so much for responding. I have been having the children download some of the same apps and having them screen share their progress in real time for now. I will use a pc instead to access the remote sharing in the future. Again, thanks for the great video resources. I’ve subscribed to your newsletter.
Hi Russell, thanks a lot for the video. I have been using zoom -I have a paid version- for over a year now and was very happy with it. However, I've just received communication from the Spanish police advising Zoom users to uninstall the app as there are lots of security issues coming up right now. What do you think as all my classes are now via Zoom? Thanks a lot!
Very helpful. You shared some things that definitely are "hidden" (I'm getting ready to to a webinar in three weeks and have to build the powerpoint). Question: So this is much like Go To Meeting in regards to the people being invited, correct? So if there are 30 people then there are no images of these people?
Hi there, jamesgang. Thanks for your comment. I'm not entirely sure what you mean. Yes, when screen sharing certain video screens might be minimized, but as host you should be able to see a pop out video toolbar, with options at the top on which videos you can see - i.e. speaker only or all those with cameras turned on. Maybe don't have Zoom full screen and play with the size of the main screen and side screens (videos, participants, chat windows). View videos 'side by side' - which you can select from one toolbar - might also help.
Hi there, Troy. As a host, you should be able to do this. There are different options such as share whole screen or one window that is open. Toggle through the video panel controls for different viewpoints. There is also the gallery view, of course. But I've done it both ways and can still see anyone who has the webcam enabled. Have a play around. Let me know how it goes.
If you share your whole screen, Kathleen. The whiteboard doesn't cover the whole screen, I understand, so there should be space to show the other document.
Great video. I was wondering if you or someone else here can help me. When I screen share a video after a few seconds, around like 30secs, I lose audio. The video continues to work though. I’m using a 2015 MacBook Pro retina. Sharing A video using VLC Media Player. Any ideas?
Difficult to know the answer, Abel. It appears to playing sound / audio to begin with. Make sure 'play computer sound' is selected before sharing the video window. It shouldn't matter when the sound is coming from - if it's a VLC media video, it is still using the computer sound.
You need to search online and find a tool that downloads CZcams videos. There are many around but I rarely use them. Look for 'Download youTube videos'
Dear Russell, kindly indicate yes or no to this urgent situation: Can a teacher see the screens of at least 30 students on a laptop while on the other hand avoid students seeing their screens amongst each other while doing tests or quiz: (yes or no)
Hi Russel! Thanks for this video. I was just wondering if you could tell me, why my desktop is not being shared whenever I turn on the screenshot? It’s only the whiteboard that is showing..
You must be always clicking on the IWB. Anything that is open on your computer can be screen shared. Just pre-open anything you are planning on sharing.. More free Zoom videos here www.teachertrainingvideos.com/Camtasia_Training
Always turn off the Cam when you screen share and tell your students to do same. That should reduce amount of data passing and should help the audio to come through. More Zoom videos here www.teachertrainingvideos.com/zoom
My PowerPoint style is to use it in a supportive way, not the main thing. I don't want the students to just read the words of a PowerPoint slide while hearing a disembodied voice. The students should be looking at and listening to me, and the PowerPoint text is just there to underscore what I'm saying. What I would like the students to see on their end is a divided screen: one window being the PowerPoint slide and the other window being me. What I would like to see on my side is also a split screen, but with the PowerPoint slide in one window (so I know where I am) and all the students in the other screen so I can "read the room." Is there a way to do this? Thanks very much.
Hello Mitchell Rose Films. Good query. Because you want a different set up of what you can see to what your students can see, this might be tricky. The video bar and view options allow you (the host) to see participants how you want to see them. You can share your PowerPoint window rather than share whole screen, but you would probably need to get them to set their video bar (viewing panel) so that that they have you on Speaker view, not gallery view. Normally, when having a window(e.g. PowerPoint) full screen, the speaker video is quite small but you can make it floating and larger than the default. So it is possible, but you wouldn't have full control over it, you would need to get them to follow your instructions and make your video appear larger to them and the PowerPoint size smaller, if possible. Only you can control the PowerPoint slides. There is another tutorial where I talk more about the controls using screen sharing here: czcams.com/video/YZv70dsoThc/video.html Hope that helps a little.
@@ttvRussell Thanks Russell. I actually did some more experimenting with this and I found that the best way for me to do this is to start your Keynote presentation so that the share goes fullscreen, then I have the students go up to the top and under View Options select side-by-side. Then they go over to the grabber on the dividing line and pull the dividing line over until the two windows are equal size. And lastly go up to the top and choose Speaker View.
Thank you. That is very helpful. How can I break my students in two groups and both groups still able to see my sharing screen (like two groups work independently on a quiz that be shared on my screen)

Thank you Russell for this link to your zoom Training on Sharing. If I open the PowerPoint or another document on my Desktop and then open Zoom and start my Lecture, will my PP or doc automatically be loaded into or show up in Share? Also, which Zoom product do you use that helps you teach students? It's not the basic Zoom. I teach University students and hope to be able to use Zoom effectively to hold their interest with Online teaching. I'm a Political Scientist and integrate Political Economics into all my courses. Thank you again, Angela
Hi Angela. Unlike Adobe Connect, when you share your screen in Zoom you not uploading the PowerPoint presentation or document into Zoom, but simply sharing the PowerPoint window. Note that if you are going to play audio, such as a video, even within the PowerPoint, you need to enable play computer sound before you start to share. I use Padlet a lot and here is an example of using Padlet with Zoom here: www.teachertrainingvideos.com/student_centered_zoom_lessons
Maybe you explained this...but here goes. What if you just want to keep a particular powerpoint screen on the main page, but send your participants to the break out rooms. Will they still see the main page with the powerpoint screen from their breakout rooms? If not...how can I make that work?
Hi Joe161964 . You can't allow your screen to be shared in all break out rooms simultaneously. However, if you are talking about one slide on a PowerPoint, I would get round this issue by taking a screenshot and sharing this with all the participants either before you go in or by sending the slides to them in the chat box. For a brief while, Zoom disabled the option to share a file. You can share an image (such as a screenshot). You can join a breakout room, one at a time, and share your screen then, but that is time consuming and will mean some won't have the slides to do the task you want. Hope that helps a little.
I didn't even consider that!! Thanks! Very good idea!
How do you create the yellow circle pointer that you used in your Zoom screen sharing webinar? I really enjoy the pace of your presentations.
Hi Karen. That would be the paid-for Camtasia. I used it for all my tutorials here on CZcams. Even when I show other tools, such as screencast-o-matic or Zoom, I am using Camtasia to edit and produce the final video. www.teachertrainingvideos.com/screen-recording-software/a-mini-course-in-camtasia-2018-recommended-camtasia-trainer
Great video! While sharing your screen in Zoom how can you see the participants also?
You can't, you can see only a limited number. More free Zoom videos here www.teachertrainingvideos.com/Zoom
Very clear and concise. One question: Am I able to keep open the participants screens while I am screen sharing? In essence, the screen would include the shared material as well as each of the participants. Thanks
No, you can't do that. They can open their screens and you can take control back if you want but you can't open their screens. More free Zoom videos here www.teachertrainingvideos.com/Zoom
Which version of ZOOM are you using? My settings window doesn't look like yours
That is probably because you are using the app. I always look into their website to control everything. More free Zoom videos here www.teachertrainingvideos.com/Zoom
Problem: No Share Screen button. Host cannot Share Screen.
Fix: 01:40 go to website zoom.us > Settings > Meetings > In Meeting (Basic) > Disable desktop/screen share for users (toggle off)
No Fix available in:
Desktop app > Settings > General > (nothing)
Desktop app> Settings > Share Screen > (nothing)
Android app > Settings > (nothing)
Be careful modifying settings, some settings cause secondary changes (Zoom gives a warning)
Hi, when you are in Zoom, can you not go to advance settings and allow students to screen share. That is how I do it these days. You just click on the drop down link next to screen share and allow students to screen share. I have added more free videos on Zoom here www.teachertrainingvideos.com/Zoom
How can you manage your screenshare mode if you want to use 3 sites that you have already opened in the chrome? I want to use my Kahoot, Longman online dictionary and CZcams. I cannot see all of them when I open sharescreen window.
Sezen, open them in different tabs in your browser. You can then screen share you browser and jump from tab to tab. I do this all the time. More free Zoom videos here www.teachertrainingvideos.com/Zoom
Thanks Russell. This is very easy to follow and helpful. I have a question that is still yet to be answered:
I have about a 50% chance of a video actually showing when I am using zoom meetings. The sound always plays, but half the time the participants can't actually see anything. It seems completely random. When I click onto screen share I get the options up, but the video is not always in the options page. Sometimes it is and the title of the box in which it is contained is 'films/videos', but this doesn't always appear.
Sometimes I set up the video on my desk top and again it is a 50/50 chance of it playing.
Any suggestions? It does seem to be worse when I have a couple of clips to show
Mark, always open your video in the background ready to play and make sure that it is that tab that is active. So when you screen share, the video will always be there. The problem with the video access could simply be the speed of the internet connection. If they have slow connection, they will not receive the video. Make sure you all turn off the webcams. Sorry for delay. Too much work this week.
@@ttvRussell Thanks Russell. No worries re time to respond, busy is good (though I'm less certain about too busy!!!).
I have the videos primed and ready to show and still it's 50/50 whether they'll work or not. The last time I rehearsed with a colleague and the videos worked. I wrote down the steps I had taken, tried to repeat showing them and my colleague got sound, but no picture! I've not been trying to show them from you tube, but downloaded onto my laptop, so internet connection has not been an issue at all. It's all very confusing!
Hi Russell, your videos are very helpful - what's the best way to add a test to zoom so several students can take it individually ?
Robbie that is tough. Best to make the test in say Google Forms and then share the link. That is what I do.
@@ttvRussell ok Russell, thanks, I will do it that way ..
Very help ful video.i just want to know what if iam doing multitasking at the same time like clicking on the tool bar (dont want to show tool bar too ,) checking email or checking for a video but i want to hide my activity from students .so that they could watch the screen only .not my activity
Turn off the screen share, then whatever you are doing on your computer can't be seen by others. You might find this video really useful www.teachertrainingvideos.com/maximise_impact_breakout_rooms
@@ttvRussell thank you for the reply.👍
How can I make the floating video same as participants view when sharing my screen? The floating video is blocking my view to the slide show but it's necessary to see my participants reaction when presenting.
You can move the floating video around and place it in a different place. You can also minimize it while you are screen sharing. I often turn off my camera when I am going through a slide show and then turn it back on when I come out of screen sharing.
Great video Russell - thanks so much. Can you tell me, can I assign various teachers to run the different breakout rooms before I press a general assign of the rest of the class? Is this something I can organise before the class starts when I first open up the meeting and the teachers join me ahead of the class? Many thanks
Yes, you would have to put the people into break out rooms manually. It is not difficult. Just choose that option instead of automatic. More free Zoom videos here www.teachertrainingvideos.com/Zoom
hi Russell, I love the way you have the presentation behind you as you teach. Please can you let me know how I could do that. I'd love to give it a try thanks Carol
Hi, I do that with a tool called Camtasia You can learn about it here www.teachertrainingvideos.com/screen-recording-software/a-mini-course-in-camtasia-2018-recommended-camtasia-trainer
@@ttvRussell thank you that's great.
How does a teacher prevent the problem of a student in a breakout room possibly screen-sharing inappropriate content with classmates? (Besides teaching behavior expectations beforehand, etc). Thanks!
It is an excellent question and very difficult problem. I am not sure you can stop students sharing when they are in breakout rooms. Sorry I can't be more help
@@ttvRussell you can prevent all screen sharing except host in the preferences, is all I found. Not a way to switch it on and off during the meeting though.
how to amplifier the size of the videos from you tube for my viewers when i am sharing it ????? it looks small
when you screen share a video in CZcams, look down at the CZcams video and look to the right, you have 3 sizes If you make it bigger for you, it will be bigger for your viewers too. More free Zoom videos here www.teachertrainingvideos.com/Zoom
Russell I am wondering why when screen sharing. Why the desktop doesnot come up? The other day it did not come up so i could play my mp3. When the meeting was over i closed zoom & opened up another Zoom & when i screen shared the desk top did come up. Why does it look difernet each time?
Earl, this video might help you czcams.com/video/hEQ5VVYGh34/video.html Good luck.
Great tutorial Russell! At 6:06, Zoom displays the box "Optimize Screen Sharing for Video Clip". What is that for please?
I don't know. I hope someone else might answer the question. Someone says it helps the quality but I don't quite understand why.
Sorry if it’s already been answered but during a zoom meeting..is it possible to do a share screen with just one individual without the rest seeing that?
Hmmm.. Only in a breakout room with that one person. Usually sharing screen will be seen by all in the room where that screen is being shared. You might want to show something and you could send something privately to them in the chat window.
Russell, can you show us how to present like your videos: You are smaller in the corner with your desktop screen appearing as the backdrop.
I am using Camtasia. I put loads of videos on my website about Camtasia and they are very popular. You might find them useful. www.teachertrainingvideos.com/Camtasia_Training
@@ttvRussell Russell, I, too, use Camtasia and could do this for an asynchronous video. I was in a live training where the presenter had a green screen and sat on top of the screen share. Do you know how to do that in Zoom? It had the same effect of your video but all in Zoom.
Thank you so much for all your videos. They have been really helpful!!!
I have just started trying to use Zoom and I'm having a couple of issues.
When I have a meeting via Zoom after about 5-10 minutes the sound goes for both myself and the participant... my laptop is brand new and we have a high speed internet connection... what could it be?
Also, when I do the screen share for various programmes like IWB, espresso etc... it works fine and so does the audio. However, when I try to share a clip from CZcams the audio doesn't work and then I loose the audio between myself and the participant. What could be causing that? I have also clicked the button to share the computer's audio... I tried the optimize button too. It worked properly a couple of times then reverted back to losing the sound...
Thank you for your help!
Natasha.
Hi Natasha. Thanks for you comments. I am not sure what is going wrong with your set up. It sounds like it should work. You are doing everything right. The audio shouldn't cut out in that way. I can only think it might be bandwidth issues, but you say that you have a high speed connection. Keep trying.
Thanks for getting back to me!
The audio just cut out once today and then worked fine. So hopefully it will continue to work.
can share screen be used to show the laptop screen with motion, ie a wheel of fortune type game. thank you
Of course. Just share your whole screen or choose the window which has the 'wheel of fortune' game. Remember to click on 'play computer sound' if you need the audio of the wheel, too.
Hello, can we prevent our student sharing a private meeting or events. OBS studio bypassed all the security of zoom. do you recommend something? all i mean is how to block all 3rd parties sharing my private event/meeting publicly.
This is quite hard to do. If students decide to share a link and a password there is not much you can do but of course you can control who enters from the waiting room. You can also insist that students log in with their correct names to hep you control who joins the room.
I am a connection where my supervisor has the zoom file, from time to time I need to share my screen and I see it on zoom but the other parties who are on my supervisors screen cannot see my shared document. (Actually, sometimes the file is one the screen but I cannot access it.) My supervisor keeps telling me to hit the upper left side of my screen but I have never understood what he means. I see there are a couple of symbols up there but I don't know what they are and what to do with them. It is a stressful point in the activity so It has to be done quickly or we will lose the audience so he then takes over. Do you have some suggestions for a solution?
This video might really help you www.teachertrainingvideos.com/10_tips_using_zoom
Hello, thank you for the video! Sometimes I try to screenshare with my students and they just see a black screen. How can I fix this?
That is probably to do with their internet speeds. There should be no problem as long as you have correctly shared the right screen. The problem is normally they don't have a connection quick enough to receive the share...screen sharing is quite internet heavy
You could have your video right within your powerpoint as well thus saving your self having to choose the youtube
Ruth, yes you can, it is just a habit, I always do it that way. There are more free Zoom videos here www.teachertrainingvideos.com/Zoom
How to share screen with Galaxy Tab S6 during ZOOM meeting
I am sorry I don't know about SMART phones or tablets. I tend to keep away from them.
hello Sir, is the co host feature not available on basic zoom account??
thanks in advance!
I thought it was but I would not be 100% sure. I don't have a free account now so I can't check. Sorry I can't help
how can I share the video I downloaded from youtube and saved it in a folder?
Just play it as a video using the windows player and then screen share that.
How can I share screen that includes zoom program itself?
You can't screen share the interface. You can screens share where you log in etc.
Dear Mr. Stannard.I am currently studying your channell..I am hoping to set up live piano tutorials by screen sharing an active music application.I use an apple Imac.Is this possible without additional applications.Thank you,
Yes, it is really. You will need a good webcam that can film you at the piano and some good lighting to make sure that when you share the video, your students can clearly see you but yes it can be done for sure.

Thats very helpful.thank you for your time and considertion.
Hi Russell. Thanks for the info on really getting the most out of zoom. I host my meetings using my iPad. Is there a way to pass the control to my students after sharing my screen so they are able to annotate?
Hi @Musictips. That's a good question. I haven't tried Zoom on an iPad yet. I know that my colleague, Phil Longwell, has, and he said that you need to have iOS11 for it to work properly. However, it seems that you cannot annotate when sharing your entire screen via iOS. More information here: support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/115005890803-iOS-Screen-Sharing
@@ttvRussell Thanks so much for responding. I have been having the children download some of the same apps and having them screen share their progress in real time for now. I will use a pc instead to access the remote sharing in the future. Again, thanks for the great video resources. I’ve subscribed to your newsletter.
Hi Russell, thanks a lot for the video. I have been using zoom -I have a paid version- for over a year now and was very happy with it. However, I've just received communication from the Spanish police advising Zoom users to uninstall the app as there are lots of security issues coming up right now. What do you think as all my classes are now via Zoom? Thanks a lot!
Paloma that was fake news. Zoom is not more or less secure than other systems. They are all much the same.
How do you record the audio of the shared screen?
Make sure you click on share video sound when you click on the screen share button. It is on bottom left of the window
Very helpful. You shared some things that definitely are "hidden" (I'm getting ready to to a webinar in three weeks and have to build the powerpoint). Question: So this is much like Go To Meeting in regards to the people being invited, correct? So if there are 30 people then there are no images of these people?
Hi there, jamesgang. Thanks for your comment. I'm not entirely sure what you mean. Yes, when screen sharing certain video screens might be minimized, but as host you should be able to see a pop out video toolbar, with options at the top on which videos you can see - i.e. speaker only or all those with cameras turned on. Maybe don't have Zoom full screen and play with the size of the main screen and side screens (videos, participants, chat windows). View videos 'side by side' - which you can select from one toolbar - might also help.
Hi Russell. Thanks for the tips! Is there any way to see more than 4 people while you are screen sharing?
Hi there, Troy. As a host, you should be able to do this. There are different options such as share whole screen or one window that is open. Toggle through the video panel controls for different viewpoints. There is also the gallery view, of course. But I've done it both ways and can still see anyone who has the webcam enabled. Have a play around. Let me know how it goes.
Can I share both the white board and another doc at the same time?
If you share your whole screen, Kathleen. The whiteboard doesn't cover the whole screen, I understand, so there should be space to show the other document.
Great video. I was wondering if you or someone else here can help me. When I screen share a video after a few seconds, around like 30secs, I lose audio. The video continues to work though. I’m using a 2015 MacBook Pro retina. Sharing A video using VLC Media Player. Any ideas?
Difficult to know the answer, Abel. It appears to playing sound / audio to begin with. Make sure 'play computer sound' is selected before sharing the video window. It shouldn't matter when the sound is coming from - if it's a VLC media video, it is still using the computer sound.
how to import you tube videos to one drive/screen sharing/ can you answer by 9/27/2020, 12noon?
You need to search online and find a tool that downloads CZcams videos. There are many around but I rarely use them. Look for 'Download youTube videos'
Dear Russell, kindly indicate yes or no to this urgent situation: Can a teacher see the screens of at least 30 students on a laptop while on the other hand avoid students seeing their screens amongst each other while doing tests or quiz: (yes or no)
NO, not in Zoom that would not be possible.
Hi Russel! Thanks for this video. I was just wondering if you could tell me, why my desktop is not being shared whenever I turn on the screenshot? It’s only the whiteboard that is showing..
You must be always clicking on the IWB. Anything that is open on your computer can be screen shared. Just pre-open anything you are planning on sharing.. More free Zoom videos here www.teachertrainingvideos.com/Camtasia_Training
Russell Stannard (Teacher Training Videos) I do appreciate your very informative response Russel.. Keep safe and stay blessed!
what to do when you are sharing screen and your voice is breaking please help
Always turn off the Cam when you screen share and tell your students to do same. That should reduce amount of data passing and should help the audio to come through. More Zoom videos here www.teachertrainingvideos.com/zoom
My PowerPoint style is to use it in a supportive way, not the main thing. I don't want the students to just read the words of a PowerPoint slide while hearing a disembodied voice. The students should be looking at and listening to me, and the PowerPoint text is just there to underscore what I'm saying. What I would like the students to see on their end is a divided screen: one window being the PowerPoint slide and the other window being me. What I would like to see on my side is also a split screen, but with the PowerPoint slide in one window (so I know where I am) and all the students in the other screen so I can "read the room." Is there a way to do this? Thanks very much.
Hello Mitchell Rose Films. Good query. Because you want a different set up of what you can see to what your students can see, this might be tricky. The video bar and view options allow you (the host) to see participants how you want to see them. You can share your PowerPoint window rather than share whole screen, but you would probably need to get them to set their video bar (viewing panel) so that that they have you on Speaker view, not gallery view. Normally, when having a window(e.g. PowerPoint) full screen, the speaker video is quite small but you can make it floating and larger than the default. So it is possible, but you wouldn't have full control over it, you would need to get them to follow your instructions and make your video appear larger to them and the PowerPoint size smaller, if possible. Only you can control the PowerPoint slides. There is another tutorial where I talk more about the controls using screen sharing here: czcams.com/video/YZv70dsoThc/video.html Hope that helps a little.
@@ttvRussell Thanks Russell. I actually did some more experimenting with this and I found that the best way for me to do this is to start your Keynote presentation so that the share goes fullscreen, then I have the students go up to the top and under View Options select side-by-side. Then they go over to the grabber on the dividing line and pull the dividing line over until the two windows are equal size. And lastly go up to the top and choose Speaker View.
@@MitchellRoseFilms Glad you worked it out. Experimenting is a good way to find out what works best.
Can you share two desktops at the same time with zoom?
Hi there. Participants can share their screen and so can the host. But I don't believe you can share them simultaneously.
How do you put the red rectangle whenever you want to emphasize that part? Also how to activate this yellow cursor that you use?
