Recently, when I'm hosting a meeting I get a message that I'm restricted from sharing my screen. I've reviewed Zoom permissions and my Mac settings and I can't figure out why this is happening suddenly. Any suggestions?

Hi @StateForests, thank you for your contribution and welcome to the Zoom Community!

 

Can you double-check that in your Zoom account settings the setting for "Disable desktop screen sharing for meetings you host" is disabled? You can disable this setting on this page: https://us06web.zoom.us/profile/setting. For your reference, see attached image.

 

 



Please also confirm that "Disable screen sharing when guests are in the meeting" is disabled. From that same page: https://us06web.zoom.us/profile/setting.

Let me know how it goes!
