Set meeting to screen share PRIOR to start of meeting

[KellyH]

I set Zoom meetings for my boss.  I assign him as alternate host.  How do I set the meeting to allow all participants to screen share when I set the meeting up OR prior to the meeting starting?

Hi @KellyH, thank you for posting for the first time, and welcome to the Zoom Community!

To set up a Zoom meeting to allow all participants, including the alternate host, to screen share you will need to adjust the screen sharing settings to 'Enable screen sharing for participants' on the Settings page on the web portal. This will allow all participants, including the alternate host, to share their screens during the meeting.

You can also click Security from the controls toolbar while in the meeting and make sure that the Screen Share option is checked. If the options are greyed out, ensure that Multiple participants can share simultaneously is not selected in the Advanced Sharing Options window, as other options cannot be adjusted while it is enabled. 

Give it a test with your boss beforehand to make sure everything is working as intended 🙂

I hope this helps! Let me know how it goes,

Carla,
