During Meeting, screen share option won't let me choose between three different PowerPoint Windows

During a meeting, screen share option won't let me choose between three different PowerPoint Windows--It only shows one PowerPoint screen (displayed as "Microsoft Office") with a number 3 under it. I need to see Presenter View while the audience sees Slide Show view. I can't differentiate between the three, and when I click on the "Microsoft Office" box, it is random which of the three PowerPoint windows shows up. How do I expand the option to select the correct PowerPoint screen? I am on a desktop, and only have one screen.

Ah! Okay. The installed application will help immensely. You can still use your Basic (free) account. Log into the desktop application with your username and password, then launch a meeting (like your Personal Meeting) from the App. It should open the Meeting within the App, not the Web browser. Then try my Share Screen guide. 

Good luck!! Let me know …


Ok, I figured it out! In the downloaded Zoom desktop app, on the main page, I clicked on the tiny Settings gear icon near the upper right (but not in the upper right), which took me to a pop up screen. On the menu list on the left, I selected "Share Screen". Then, I selected "Share individual window", and it allowed it. See screenshot of the settings I used. Now it is allowing me to see the individual PowerPoint windows when I click on Share Screen!

I had tried this before I asked this question in this forum. That solution, using "Browsed by an Individual" does not work, as it does not allow me to access Presenter View or my notes. Everything I click on is seen by the audience. Please re-read my question: I have ONE monitor. I need my audience to see Slideshow View and I need to see Presenter View.

Welcome to the Zoom Community, @TreePerson

 

See if this helps:

I send this link to all my client’s presenters. Followed rigorously, it works every time. You should be able to Alt-Tab to the Presenter View, and Zoom should (usually does) still share the Presentation View. Test it multiple times with 3 or more attendees. (Zoom handles some things differently at the 3-attendee level.)


HI, I appreciate the article, but PLEASE view the screenshot I attached to my original post. As I explained, Zoom does NOT show me all three PowerPoint windows--It only shows me "Microsoft Office" with a 3 under it. It will NOT allow me to select or see the open PowerPoint windows (such as Slide show view, Presenter View, and Editing view). I only have one monitor. I played with the settings for an entire work day and could not get Zoom to cooperate with it. I also don't have three people to practice with me--I have to present this tomorrow.
