Need to see attendees while screen sharing

Hello,

Here’s how to restore the ability to see your students’ videos while screen sharing in Zoom:

Recent Zoom updates changed how the video panel behaves during screen sharing.
If you no longer see “Show Video Panel” under the More (…) menu, it’s likely because:

• The video panel is currently hidden or docked.
• You’re using Dual Monitors or Side‑by‑Side Mode, which changes how participant videos appear.
• The Zoom window is not in full screen or the share toolbar is minimized.

Enable Side-by-Side Mode

1. Start your meeting and begin screen sharing.
2. Move your mouse to the top of the screen to reveal the Zoom toolbar.
3. Click View Options → Side‑by‑Side: Speaker or Side‑by‑Side: Gallery.
   • This displays your shared content on one side and participant videos on the other.
4. Drag the divider between the shared screen and video panel to resize.

Check Dual-Monitor Settings

If you use two displays:

1. Go to Zoom → Settings → General.
2. Make sure Use dual monitors is unchecked (unless you want videos on the second screen).
3. Restart Zoom and test screen sharing again.
