We are excited to announce that our new and advanced live room was launched recently, bringing enhanced stability and functionality. As part of these improvements, there have been updates to the screen-sharing feature to streamline your experience.
This article will guide you through the new features, helping you make the most of the upgraded live room.
Navigating the Screen Sharing Option
To begin sharing your screen, follow these steps:
Enter the live room
Once you go LIVE, locate and click on the 'Screen' button.
You will now see three options for sharing:
Chrome Tab
Window
Entire Screen
Key Changes to Screen Sharing Feature
Sharing a PowerPoint/Canva/PDF File
Ensure the file you wish to share (e.g., a PowerPoint presentation, Canva file, or PDF) is open and not minimized on your system.
If the window is minimized, it will not appear in the list of options under the 'Screen' or 'Window' tabs.
For optimal sharing:
Open the file and keep it in an optimized window.
Click on the 'Window' tab in the live room.
Select the relevant window (e.g., the PowerPoint window).
Once sharing begins, you can maximize the file for full-screen presentation.
Sharing a File Via URL
If you need to share a URL, you can do so through the Chrome Tab option. Once you click Chrome Tab, all open browser tabs will be displayed.
Select the tab containing the URL, and you can start sharing the file immediately.
Sharing a Video via MX Player or Device Software
If you're sharing a video using MX Player or any other device media player, use either the Entire Screen or Window option.
Remember: The audio input will automatically come from your system’s speakers, ensuring seamless playback for your audience.
Sharing YouTube or Vimeo Videos
When sharing a YouTube or Vimeo video, always use the Chrome Tab option.
Once you click on the Chrome Tab, the YouTube or Vimeo URL will be visible.
Select the appropriate tab and the video will be displayed for sharing.
By default, your browser’s audio settings will be applied, ensuring the audio output is clear for your audience.
