screen sharing when I host a meeting

Since upgrading my Mac laptop to Big Sur, I'm no longer able to share my screen when I host meetings. I've tried to adjust this in the security settings, but the option to click Zoom to allow sharing is grayed out. Please help!

Hey @klpuckett, have you updated to the latest version of Zoom? Furthermore, you can try within your Zoom desktop client settings under 'Share screen' click on 'Advanced', and check or uncheck, "Use Hardware acceleration to optimize video sharing", and see if that changes or makes a difference for your Screen sharing experience. Along with Checking or Unchecking, 'Use TCP Connection for screen sharing'. 

 

I would also double-check your Zoom Web Portal Settings to see if Screen Share was disabled! Hope this helps!
