I can't share any PDFs on Zoom / Je ne peux plus partager de PDF lors de réunions

For the past few days, I haven’t been able to share PDFs during my meetings on Zoom. I should mention that I’m working on iPad, and until now everything was working perfectly. Where could the problem be coming from, and what should I do please?

 

Depuis quelques jours, je n’arrive plus à partager de PDF lors de mes réunions sur Zoom. Je précise que je travaille sur Ipad, et que jusqu’à là, tout fonctionnait très bien. D’où vient le problème et que faire SVP ???

    Hi ​@Sarah Oum Qoudamah,

     

    We’re glad to have you here. Welcome to Zoom Community!
     

    On the Zoom iPad app, you can't share a PDF file directly as a document within the meeting. Instead, you need to use the "Share Screen" feature to display your PDF. Here’s how you can do it:

    1. Open the PDF you want to share in any app (like Files or Adobe Reader) on your iPad.
    2. Join your Zoom meeting.
    3. Tap "Share Content" in the meeting controls.
    4. Select "Screen" to start broadcasting your entire iPad screen.
    5. Switch to the app displaying your PDF—the participants will now see your PDF as you view it.

    If this feature was working before and suddenly stopped, try these steps:

    • Make sure your Zoom app is updated to the latest version.
    • Restart your iPad.
    • Check that screen recording permissions are enabled for Zoom in your iPad’s settings (Settings > Control Center > Screen Recording).
    • Ensure you have a stable internet connection.
