All Screens Share No Longer Available after last weeks update.

We use the all screens share extensively to assist participants through installs, activities and to do some semblance of proctoring when doing quizzes.  I have checked all my settings and all the appropriate settings are still enabled to be able to use the all screens share.  However, it does not show up as an option under the share button in the zoom in-meeting menu.

    Hi Valerie,

    This is a frustrating one because the setting exists but the option just vanishes from the UI — here's a thorough checklist to track down exactly why:

     

    Verify Zoom Client Version

    All Screen Mode requires Zoom 6.0 or higher.

    • Click your profile picture in Zoom → Check for Updates
    • If you're behind on updates, this alone could be the cause — update and retest

    Check the Zoom Web Portal Settings (Not Just the App)

    Many of these settings are controlled at the account/admin level in the web portal, not the desktop app:

    Go to zoom.us/profile/setting → Meeting → In Meeting (Basic):

    • Screen sharing — must be ON
    • Who can share? — set to "Host and Participants" (or at minimum "Host")
    • Participants Sharing Simultaneously — set to "Multiple participants can share simultaneously"
    • All Screens Mode — if this toggle exists in your plan, make sure it's enabled

     If your account is managed by an organization/admin, these settings may be locked and greyed out. Your IT admin would need to enable them at the account level.

    Make Sure "Disable Desktop Screen Sharing" is OFF

    This is a sneaky one — it's easy to miss:

    • In the same web portal settings page, search for "Disable desktop/screen share for meetings you host"
    • Make sure this is turned OFF — if it's ON, advanced share options including All Screens will disappear from the in-meeting menu

    Check In-Meeting Advanced Sharing Options

    Even with everything enabled, you need to activate it during the meeting:

    • In a live meeting, click the ^ arrow next to the Share Screen button
    • Select "Advanced Sharing Options"
    • Set "How many participants can share at the same time?" to Multiple
    • Then click Share Screen again — All Screens should now appear as an option

    Check Your Zoom Plan

    All Screen Mode / multi-share features may be restricted by plan type. If you're on a Basic (free) plan or a lower-tier license, some advanced sharing features aren't available. Worth checking at zoom.us/account to confirm your plan includes it.
