Question

Once I enter a breakout room, the shared screen dissapeared in the room

I am working on a Windows 10 laptop and although I do not know the app version, it should be the last one as I have very recently downloaded it from the Zoom website.
I am able to share my screen with the breakout rooms, but once I enter to a room, it’s not visible any more.

    Hi, ​@Teacher Maria. Welcome to the community!

    If sounds to me like you’re starting a Screen Share while in the main meeting space, and wondering why that Screen Share is not still sharing when you enter a Breakout Room. Unfortunately, the technology behind moving to a Breakout Room is similar to what happens when you leave one meeting and go to another (similar, but obviously you’re still associated with the same main meeting).  Zoom is unable to keep the Screen Share and “carry it forward” Into the Breakout Room. I know it’s an extra step, but you do need to restart the Screen Share one you’re in the Breakout Room.

    If I’ve misunderstood the issue, please elaborate and I’ll respond again.
