I can not share my desktop, and there is no selection of sharing desktop. What should I do? Thank you!

Hey @2tom, if you log in to your Zoom account and go to zoom.us/profile/setting under in-meeting (basic) you should see 'Disable desktop screen sharing for meetings you host' if enabled this may be preventing you from sharing your desktop. I'd disable the setting, start a new test meeting, and re-attempt sharing your screen. 

 

Let me know if that helps!
