How to share your screen on Skype

While there are certainly perks to joining conference calls from the comfort of your home (nobody needs to know if you’re wearing pyjamas from the waist down), there are also drawbacks that come with being locked out of the office.

What if you need to share your slides with your co-workers – or show your friends a TikTok of a cat destroying a city. Screen sharing is a handy feature worth making use of during your next video conference or group presentation.

You can share your screen during a Skype call in Skype for Android (6.0 and above), iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch (iOS 12 and above), Linux, Mac, Windows, Windows 10 (version 14) and the in web app using the Chrome browser.

It’s worth noting that Chrome can only support one video output at a time. This means that your webcam feed will be temporarily unavailable while you share your screen, though your caller will still be able to hear your voice so there’s no need to pause presentations while you show off your slides.
