You can share your screen if you use the desktop client or web app to join a meeting, or you have a supported in-room video system. If you use the desktop client, you can also stop notifications from appearing while you're sharing your screen. Remember the following:
If your network connection slows down, Amazon Chime prioritizes audio over video. The system pauses all video except your video tile and the screen share, and the following error message appears: Video paused to prioritize your audio connection. The system restores video after it resolves the network problem.
The Amazon Chime web app supports screen sharing on Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox for Windows, macOS, and Linux desktops. You don't need a plugin or extension. If you installed the Amazon Chime screen share extension for Google Chrome versions 34 -71, and you now run a more recent version of Google Chrome, Amazon Chime bypasses the extension and uses the browser's native capabilities.
Note
If you want others to see your mouse pointer while you present, you must share your entire screen instead of an individual window.
The steps in the following sections explain how to share your screen and use the various screen sharing tools.
