Sharing your screen lets the other person see exactly what is on your computer during a live Nearo session.
🔔 In Nearo Rooms, only the host can share their screen. Guests in a Room can see and control the host's screen, but cannot share their own.
Starting screen sharing
To begin sharing your screen during a session:
Click the Screen share icon, shown as a computer.
A modal opens showing the screens you can share.
If no external displays are connected, only one screen option appears.
Click the screen you want to share.
Screen sharing begins immediately.
You will know screen sharing is active when you see purple lines in all four corners of the screen being shared.
Switching the screen you are sharing
If you want to change which screen is being shared while screen sharing is active:
Click the up arrow next to the Screen share icon.
Select a different screen from the list.
The new screen starts sharing right away.
Stopping screen sharing
When you are finished sharing your screen:
Click the Screen share icon again.
The icon appears green while screen sharing is active.
Screen sharing stops as soon as you click the icon.
