Desktop Share in Skype

Present your desktop or specific programs

Keep in mind that you need to be a presenter in a Skype for Business meeting to share your screen. If the option is grayed out, ask one of the presenters to give you presenter access.

•          Present Desktop when you need to switch between multiple programs, or work on files from different programs.
•          Present Programs when you need to present specific programs or files and don’t want people to see anything else on your computer.

Share your screen or program

Important: When sharing your desktop, everyone in the Skype meeting can see your programs, files, and notifications. If you have confidential information or files that you don’t want people to see, close them—or use Present Programs instead.

1.       At the bottom of the conversation window, click the Present (monitor) button.

2.       Choose one of the following:

•          To share the content on your desktop, click Present Desktop.
•          To share one or more programs or files, click Present Programs, and then select the specific program or file.
