Zoom and switching between tabs in Chrome?

Scenario:  I have started the meeting in Zoom (as host), and I have Chrome open with 2 different tabs (different content).  I use “share” to project the content on my Agenda tab (A PP presentation) to attendees.  At a certain point in the Agenda, I would like to switch to the other tab that contains a PP presentation called Summer Images.  When that is finished, I would like to switch back to the Agenda tab and proceed with the meeting from there.  I want to have the tab content full-screen, with my picture up in the top RH corner of the screen.

Equipment:  Right now I only have 1 screen on a laptop available to me and I am using Zoom Workplace because of the enhanced sound.

 

Is there an easy way to switch between tabs without having to “Stop Share” in Zoom, select the alternate tab in Chrome, switch back to Zoom and “Share” the alternate tab…..?

Does a possible solution require 2 screens?

 

Thank-you in advance.

    I think you can do this without a second screen. When you start sharing, you can share the Chrome window rather than stopping the share each time. Then you can switch between the two tabs in Chrome while the share stays active.

    The main thing I'd check is whether you want attendees to see only the presentation or everything in the Chrome window. If it's only the two presentations, keeping them in the same Chrome window should make the switching much easier.
