According to the 6/21/21 release notes, it should be possible to share screen to all breakout rooms. We would like to use this feature, but have not figured out how to. We have found no documentation on how to use this feature. Can anyone help? Thanks!

Hey @MECrawford! Welcome to the community! 😄 Check out the prerequisites for Share screen to all breakout rooms, "hosts, co-hosts, and breakout room participants all need to be running 5.7.0 or higher". You can find more info on Managing Breakout Rooms.

This feature is not available to participants on mobile devices, right? Will that be added?

Correct, this is currently only available for the desktop clients. It may be added to the mobile experience, but I cannot say for sure at this point.

Hi @MECrawford ,

Once you are in your meeting, you need to start your breakout rooms. Click on Share Screen from the main room, then select "Share to breakout rooms" then Share and you will be able to share your screen to all of your breakout room from the main room.

I do exactly that, but the breakout rooms do NOT see the shared screen. Can't figure out what's wrong.

Hi @tammo

It could be that the participants are not on the minimum required version for that feature, which is the desktop client for Windows, macOS, or Linux, version 5.7.0 or higher.

Hi everyone, thanks for this helpful discussion. I had another question on the subject. Given the following:

-host records meeting

-host creates breakout rooms

-host shares screen in breakout rooms

-host joins from a second device to be able to join the breakout rooms while screen sharing

What happens in this case with recording? Given that recording takes place where the person recording the session is every time, how is that affected when that person is signed in from two different devices and appears to be in two different places at the same time (main room and breakout room)? Also, does the type of device have anything to do with this?

Hope this makes sense.
