Shared browsing on zoom

Hi, 

Is there a way to view a browser / web page with another person during a Zoom meeting.

It is known as shared browsing - see this article:

https://alvarotrigo.com/blog/shared-browsing/ 

 

I'm an online tutor and would like the ability to be able to interact with a web page with students in real time, eg, a page like this:

https://ictgames.com/mobilePage/placeValuePieces/index.html

 

..so that we can both engage with the learning tool.

There are a few solutions out there but not sure if there are any for Zoom?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

kind regards

Matt

If it's just for one student at a time, you can grant remote control to your shared desktop/content and both interact (with the limitation that the shared computer only has one mouse, so it will not be truly simultaneous interaction).

 

The simpler and less efficient solution is to have the students work on the actual webpage that supports these types of simultaneous interactions, with the option to share over Zoom. Not sure how much this would actually buy your students vs having one window on the browser and a Zoom call open alongside it.
