Hello Rupert, Thanks for taking time to reply – much appreciated. Since I posted my discussion topic I have been exploring view menu options. It may be of interest to some others to hear what I 've discovered so far, about what participants can do to change their view of the Host's screen-share while his/her video file is playing.
While his/ her video is playing: 1. In the view menu, top right, choose standard and full screen. 2. To the right of the green banner at the top of the screen there is a black and white banner called View Options. From the drop-down in View Options choose so that : Zoom Ratio will Fit to Window. From the same drop down menu choose on Hide Video Panel
In a test meeting with my brother as Host and me as Participant, this sequence enabled me to view the video he was playing, without seeing our faces on-screen at the same time .
I was using a desk-top computer. I don't know how the sequence would work on an iPad or Phone. I hope this helps somebody. Best wishes PeadarMangan21
As Host, whilst screen sharing a video movie which has important detail in the top right corner, I wish to switch off my video thumbnail on all participants’ screens for the duration of the screenshare without them having to take any action themselves.
