    Hi ​@Denise T.,

    Welcome to Zoom Community!
     

    On iPhone, when you start iOS Screen Broadcast screen sharing, Zoom can take over the full screen, so you may not be able to keep the participant gallery visible the way you can on desktop.


    Here are few things that you can try:

    1. Switch to a view that shows participants
    • While in the meeting, tap the screen to show controls.
    • Tap More (…) or View (if shown) and try Gallery View / Speaker View.
    • Also try swiping left/right to move between shared content and participant view (this varies by iOS/Zoom app version).
    1. Use Picture-in-Picture (PiP) if available
    • If you start screen sharing and then return to the Zoom app, see if the video becomes a small floating window (PiP). If it’s off, enable iOS Settings > General > Picture in Picture.

    On an iPhone, starting iOS Screen Broadcast in Zoom may make it difficult to keep the participant gallery visible while sharing your screen, unlike on a desktop.

    Here are a few things you can try:

    1. Switch to Participant View

    • During the meeting, tap the screen to display the controls.

    • Tap More (…) or View, if available, and look for options such as Gallery View or Speaker View.

    • Try swiping left or right to switch between the shared content and participant views. The available options may vary depending on your iOS and Zoom app versions.

    2. Try Picture-in-Picture (PiP)

    • Start screen sharing and check whether Zoom allows you to return to the app while keeping the video in a floating window.

    • If Picture-in-Picture is supported but disabled, check Settings > General > Picture in Picture on your iPhone.

    For more information, you can also refer to the official Zoom support guide.

    I hope this helps!
