Does Zoom integrate online game sharing via screen like livestream but for internal use?

While zooming I tried to access an online gaming website, it was legal to share in class but when I shared it the connection was not good. Is it because of my zoom settings?

Should I tweak some settings? Please give me some suggestions.

May I give you the link to the website where I have the image tearing problem?

I don’t think Zoom has a built-in feature specifically for game streaming, but you can still share your screen while playing. It works fine for internal use, though the quality might depend on your internet speed and system performance — you can also visit website guides to see tips on improving the stream quality.

Yeah, Zoom can share game screens, but lag or tearing usually comes from internet speed or screen-share quality settings. Try lowering resolution/frame rate in Zoom and make sure you have a stable connection. And sure, share the link so people can check it!

Hi [Username],

It sounds like the issue you’re experiencing — image tearing or poor connection when sharing an online gaming website — is most likely related to how Zoom handles screen sharing for high-motion content rather than a legal or permission issue. Zoom is optimized for presentations and static content, so fast-moving visuals like online games can appear laggy or have tearing.

Here are a few suggestions you can try:

  1. Enable “Optimize for video clip” when sharing your screen. This is designed for smoother playback of video or high-motion content.

    • In Zoom: Click Share Screen → select the window/tab → check Optimize for video clip → then click Share.

  2. Reduce resolution or browser graphics settings: Sometimes lowering the resolution or using a lighter browser version can improve performance.

  3. Check your network connection: High-motion content requires more bandwidth. A stable wired connection or high-speed Wi-Fi can help reduce tearing.

  4. Use a dedicated window share instead of your whole screen: Sharing just the browser window can improve performance.

If you want, you can share the website link here, and the community might give more specific suggestions based on how the content behaves in Zoom
