Hello,

When I give classes on Zoom, I would like to see the attendees while sharing my PowerPoint with them. Is that possible?

Until now, when I start sharing my screen with the students, I cannot see them anymore.

Thank you for the info!

Hi @ClaraMcKoy and @Bethec4

This is really dependent on how many screens you are using.

If you have just the one screen, like a laptop or standard desktop, you should see a smaller version of your other participants' videos (as shown in the screenshot below)

Note: you can change the layout of these smaller video tiles, so they may be hidden like so:

In my quick test, I did notice that the video thumbnails are not shown at all, if everyone has their video off. So, if all your students have their video off, that could explain their missing videos during your presentation.

If you have more screens connected, then you can typically have the shared content on one screen, and the normal view of the participants in the meeting window in the other without any issues.

Hope that helps, but let me know if you have further questions. A screenshot from your end could be helpful if this doesn't match up to your experience (just be sure no personal info is included in the screen shot. You can also send me a direct message with the screenshot)

Be sure to mark the solution as accepted if this information is what you needed.
