Showing Zoom windows during screen share

Hello,

since an update there is no more possibility for me to show Zoom windows during a screen share. I enabled this feature in the account settings, but in "setting / share screen" there is no box "Showing Zoom windows during screen share" to select (look at my screenshot).

Any ideas?

Thanks, Goerd

Hey @goerd, If you go to https://zoom.us/profile/setting and search (ctrl+F) or (command+F) for Screen Share and you should see 'Show Zoom windows during screen share' ensure that's enabled as well and then close the client and re-open to see if it reappears. May need to sign out and sign back in as well. Try enabling that and let me know if that helped!

Show Zoom windows during screen share

It works until I enable "share sound" when I am sharing a screen, then the Zoom Window with participants disappears.  I know it did not used to be that way.  Help?

Same issue, still. Any solution? I'm trying to teach students how to use the Zoom Team Chat feature. I'm required to take snips of the screen, then show the snips to my students. Very tedious and confusing. 

I found a setting within the Zoom application (gear) which allows the Zoom window to share.

I am also having the same problem, The Show Zoom windows during screen share option is enabled in my settings but there is no option to show just the Zoom client and when I share my whole screen the other meeting participants cannot see my Zoom client. This means I cannot train and guide my users how to make the best use of Zoom

is there an updated (2024) answer to this. Many of my colleagues have black boxes showing when they share their screen, which are the zoom controls and participants boxes on their own screen. The option to not show Zoom windows is no longer an option. Can anyone help?
