Playing a video - Sharing

[Geo]

When showing a video, participants see black boxes where host screen is controls and host's video snapshots of participants. How to show video so that participants do not have the black or blanked out boxes of hosts zoom controls and participants' snapshots??

Geo,

You'll want to make sure that the host is sharing the specific application, rather than their entire desktop. To check for this, go to your client settings > Share Screen > and ensure that "Show all sharing options" is enabled. This way, when the host shares their screen they can choose to only share their browser or a video that's stored on their machine. Sharing screen in Zoom 

If this helped you, please mark is as the solution so it may help others.

Thanks,
