Screen sharing allows people to share what’s on their screen in real time. You must be in a video call to share your screen.
Share your screen during a video call
- Click the share icon.
- Choose whether you'd like to share a specific application or the entire screen.
- When you're sharing your screen, you'll see your profile picture.
To stop screen share during a video call, click the Stop screen sharing icon.
When sharing a specific window while screen sharing, make sure it isn't minimized as others won't be able to see it.
Note:
- During a screen sharing session, the video feeds of call members appear below shared content.
- The information displayed on your shared screen, including usernames and passwords, are visible to the person you're sharing with.
- Screen sharing isn't available during audio calls.
- Screen sharing is protected with end-to-end encryption and is never recorded by WhatsApp. No one outside of the call, not even WhatsApp, can see or hear what you share on your screen.
- For the best experience, update to the latest operating system and the latest version of WhatsApp. If members aren't using the latest version, a prompt will appear to update WhatsApp before screen sharing.
