You are restricted from screen sharing in this meeting

When I am holding a meeting as the host a get this message when I try the screen sharing function. Could please anybody tell me why this happens and how to sort it out?

Thank you in advance

Hello @Fluvia06 ,

Go check your meeting settings in the Zoom Portal.  It looks like you have screen sharing disabled.

Hello Dan,

I recently came across the same issue.

As per your screen share I have enabled that option however the user is still getting the same pop-up.

The user is an admin and using the same email id.

Scheduled the meeting and joined from mobile device and the desktop client.

Any suggestions?

 I am having exactly the same issue. I have screen sharing enabled, my setting looks exactly like the image you provided. I can share when I'm in a meeting alone but as soon as a participant joins I get that message.

Help...

Hello @Krista58 

Take a closer look at the setting just below the one in my red box...   that one prevents sharing when guests (unauthenticated users from your account) join a meeting.  Make sure that this setting is not enabled.  It may be the cause of your issue.

I have the same problem, did you ever figure it out?

[Krista58]

Hello @Dan_ZoomSE - thanks for replying, it isn't enabled.  

[Dan_ZoomSE]

Are you using Zoom on a personal computer or your work computer?  It is possible that your company has disabled this setting through Group Policy or installer settings.

If you sign in to the same Zoom account on a different computer or mobile device does it work?

[Krista58]

I still get restricted on a different device. Any other suggestions? 

[Dan_ZoomSE]

The screen capture you shared of settings..  is that at the Account Level (under admin in the portal on left navigation) or the User level (under Personal in left navigation)?

 

[Krista58]

It was in admin settings but I went to personal and it was disabled. I think it's now fixed! I didn't even know there were two settings as I'm the only user on this account.

Thank you so much for the help.

Happy you got it resolved!!

I'm on my personal computer and it's my personal account.

Let me see if it works on someone else's computer.

Is the menu with the 'Personal' and 'Admin' sections only visible to Admin users? I'm a member of a Zoom group and don't see a menu like that. Would the Admin for the group need to set screen sharing so that, as a host, my screen sharing isn't restricted?

None of this worked for me - I get an error message that I can't share when external people are present
