Here’s how it works when you want a participant to share their screen.
Step 1: Send the Screen Share Request
Hover over the participant’s video (or name tile if their camera’s off). You’ll see a row of icons pop up on the top right.
Click the fourth icon — the one with the little up arrow in a box. That’s your “please share your screen” request button.
Step 2: The Participant Sees the First Pop-Up
As soon as you click, Bello sends your request. The participant will see a pop-up that says:
“The host has requested that you share your screen.”
They get two choices:
Cancel (maybe they’re not ready yet)
Share Screen (let’s go!)
If they hit “Share Screen,” that’s when the next step kicks in.
Step 3: Choose How to Share
Once they’ve agreed, they’ll see another pop-up with three options for how they want to share:
Share a Browser Tab
Great if they only want to show one tab. This option also lets them share audio — there’s a little toggle to turn sound on or off.Share a Window
Perfect if they just want to show a single app or document without distractions.Share the Entire Screen
The full view — everything on their desktop. Best if they’ll be switching between different apps.
Step 4: Managing the Share
Once the share is live, the participant gets a small widget with a Stop Sharing button. They can click it anytime to instantly end the share.
Meanwhile, you’ll see their screen appear right in Bello.
