Learn how to share your screen in Adobe Connect using the desktop app or browser, including how to control, annotate, and stop a screen share

Adobe Connect allows hosts and presenters to share their entire screen, specific applications, or browser tabs using the Share pod. Both the desktop app and supported browsers support screen sharing, though some features are available only in the desktop app.

Platform differences

The desktop app includes the following additional features:

Optimize for video clips: Smoother playback when sharing video content.
Force share in full screen for attendees: Maximizes the Share pod for all participants.
Mini control panel: A floating control panel that stays visible while you share.

Prepare for screen sharing in Adobe Connect

Verify the following requirements before you begin sharing your screen:

Add a Share pod

Screen sharing requires a Share pod in your current layout. Select Pods > Share > New share pod to add one.

If no Share pod is available, a prompt will appear asking them to request the Host to add one. Alternatively, you can select an empty share pod and the screen option.

Enable macOS screen recording permission (first-time use)

When you share your screen for the first time in Adobe Connect on macOS, the system prompts you to allow screen recording permission.

To enable screen recording permission:

Select Open System Settings in the prompt.
Select Apple Menu > System Settings > Privacy & Security.
Enable Screen & System Audio Recording.

If you dismiss the prompt without granting access, you cannot share your screen until you complete these steps manually.

Enable screen sharing

If you cannot find the screen share option, your administrator may have disabled it. Contact your administrator and ask them to enable screen sharing in Admin > Compliance and control > Share settings. View Set sharing options article for more information.

How to share your screen during Adobe Connect meeting

Share screen using desktop app

Hosts and presenters using the Adobe Connect desktop app can share their screen and application windows directly from the meeting room. To share your screen:

Select Share from the top bar menu.

Use this option to open the Sharing Screen dialog

Select one of the following in the Start Sharing window:

Option	Description
Desktop	Shares your entire screen. If multiple monitors are connected, select the required monitor from the available thumbnails. A Secure Desktop sharing feature appears if the account administrator has restricted the applications and processes that can be shared. This feature ensures that only authorized content can be shared.
Application	Shares a specific application that is currently open on your computer.
Windows	Shares one or more open windows of the same application.

(Optional) Select one or more of the following sharing options:
- Include system audio: Shares audio from your computer along with the screen.
- Optimize for video clips: Improves frame rates when sharing video content, such as YouTube videos. This option may increase CPU and network bandwidth usage.
- Force share in full screen for attendees: Displays the shared content in full-screen mode for all attendees.
Select Share. The shared content is visible to the participants.

Use the Start Sharing pop-up to view and select available sharing options

Controls when sharing screen in desktop app

A mini control panel is available to manage the screen sharing experience when using the desktop app. This panel is only visible to the Host or presenter.

Back to Session room	Returns to the main room without having to stop the screen share.
Preview shared screen	When sharing an application, window, or desktop, the host can preview participants' views in their Share pod.
Connect microphone	Allows you to connect to a microphone. If the meeting does not have a telephony built-in and isn't connected to a microphone, it would use the computer's internal microphone by default. However, the telephony icons are also displayed if connected to an audio bridge. You can quickly mute and unmute by selecting the icon.
Camera feeds	Access your cameras during the screen share.
Attendees	Displays the attendee list. The host can drag-and-drop the participants to change their roles.
Chat	AIlows you to chat with attendees. If the Chat panel is enabled in the room, it will open there, otherwise, the chat will open in the available Chat Pod.
Raise hands	Displays participants who have raised their hands, helping hosts identify attendees who wish to speak or ask a question.
Notifications	View and act on in-meeting notifications, such as recording prompts or new users waiting for access.
Pause and annotate on shared screen	This pauses your current screen share and allows you to use whiteboard tools to annotate the screen.
Stop sharing	Ends the current screen share session immediately.
Minimize	Minimizes the presentation control bar while keeping only the Stop sharing option visible on screen.
Minimize window	Minimizes the entire presentation control bar, removing it from view while continuing the screen share. (only Windows)

Share your screen using a browser

If you are attending the session from a supported web browser, you can share your screen directly from the browser without switching to the desktop app. To share your screen using a browser, follow the same steps as in the desktop app.

You can share system audio from a browser on these platforms:

Windows (Chrome or Edge): Share entire system audio or audio from a specific browser tab.
macOS (Chrome only): Share audio from a browser tab only.

Nota

On macOS, Chrome and the desktop app do not currently support Application sharing. You can share Full Screen, a Window, or a Chrome tab. Application sharing is available in the Windows desktop app.

Request control of a shared screen

Hosts and presenters can request control of a shared screen to assist, demonstrate, or collaborate directly on the presenter’s content. Screen control requests are available only when the presenter shares their screen using the desktop app.

To request control of a shared screen:

Select the Request control button on the Share pod’s title bar. The presenter can approve or deny your request.
If the request is accepted, a message informs you that you have been granted screen control. The Request Control button becomes a Release Control button. You can now take control of the shared screen.
You can make selections, edits, and other modifications to the shared screen while you have control.
Select Release control to stop sharing control.

Allow participants to share their screen

By default, only hosts and presenters can share their screens. Presenters and participants with enhanced sharing rights cannot add new pods. To allow a participant to share their screen, in the Attendees pod, select the participant's name and choose one of the following options:

Make Presenter: Promotes the participant to presenter, allowing them to share their screen and access presenter-level features.
Enable Screen sharing: Grants enhanced sharing rights, allowing the participant to share their screen without being promoted to presenter.

View Attendees pod for more information.

Frequently asked questions

The Share option may not be visible if screen sharing is disabled by your administrator or if you do not have host or presenter rights. Ask your host for access or contact your administrator to enable screen sharing in the admin settings.

Participants see a blank or partial screen when parts of your desktop are covered by other windows. Make sure the content you are sharing is fully visible and not obstructed by other applications. If the issue persists, stop and restart the screen share.

Screen sharing performance can degrade due to network issues, high-quality settings, or system resource usage. Lower the share quality, close unused apps, and use the desktop application for better performance.

Certain features such as Optimize for video clips, Force full screen for attendees, and the Mini control panel are available only in the desktop application.

System audio must be enabled manually before sharing. Select Share system audio in the share dialog. Availability depends on your platform and browser support.
