All Screens Share No Longer Available after last weeks update.

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.
