Hello to all. I'm new to zoom and am in need of assistance. I'm a mac user and I'm having difficult with basic function operating with the mac. For example, while working with someone to become familiar with zoom, using the share screen function, attempting to pull up the white board, it goes directly to the privacy setting on the mac. I am at a total loss as to what to do to enable all functions of zoom using the mac. I hope this makes sense as I am unable to talk directly with zoom tech support. Is there some extension that needs to be enable to be able to use zoom fully? Thanks so much.

Hi @tamrasawyer, welcome to the Zoom Community.
You don't need to install any extensions. However, you will need to give Zoom certain permissions in the Privacy and Security preferences of your Mac.
To access these settings
The following privileges are required for Zoom to work correctly.
For each of the above privileges, you will need to tick the box next to the Zoom icon. For example:

Hi @jaredallen
I did this today. Thanks. When I follow steps as you note above, I see it says: “allow the apps below to record the contents of your screen, even while using other apps”.
does this mean that zoom is recording what we are sharing via screen share?
thank you.

Hi @Kkb121976,
Zoom will not record your screen unless you specifically turn on Cloud Recording during the meeting.
