Sharing a screen

Hi, 

Could anyone help me with options of screen sharing?

First option is "multiple participants can share simultaneously" and the other one is "who can start sharing when someone is sharing - all participants". Is this the same?

    Zoom has a document that breaks this down pretty well.

    Could you please show me the exact part of this article? I don't see anything about difference of these options.

    I should have also included this link which explains each option.

    These two options are not the same.

     

    • Who can share? Only Host | All Participants
      • I start all of meetings with Only Host selected. Which means by default nobody else can share during the meeting, unless I change this setting, or if they are a co-host.
    • Who can start sharing when someone else is sharing? Only Host | All Participants
      • I start all of my meetings with Only Host selected. Which means when I am sharing nobody else can start sharing, even if they are a co-host.
        Note: Actually, when you select Only Host on the first option, this 2nd option defaults to Only Host.
