Sharing your iPhone screen on Zoom allows you to display content directly from your device to all participants in a meeting. This feature is particularly useful for presentations, demonstrating apps, or reviewing documents collaboratively.
Step-by-Step Guide to Sharing Your iPhone Screen on Zoom
Sharing your screen from an iPhone or iPad during a Zoom meeting is a straightforward process built directly into the Zoom mobile application.
Prerequisites
Before you begin, ensure you have:
- The Zoom app installed on your iPhone or iPad.
- An active Zoom meeting that you have either started or joined.
The Sharing Process
Follow these steps to share your screen from your iOS device:
- Start or Join a Zoom Meeting: Begin by launching the Zoom app and joining an existing meeting or starting a new one from your iPhone or iPad.
- Access Sharing Controls: In the meeting controls toolbar, which is usually found at the bottom or top of your screen, tap the Share Content (or simply Share) button.
- Select Screen Sharing: From the options that appear, tap Screen. This option prepares your device to broadcast its entire display.
- Manage Device Audio (Optional): A prompt will appear allowing you to control whether your device's audio is shared along with your screen. Tap Microphone Off/Microphone On to enable or disable device audio, depending on whether you want sounds from your iPhone (like app sounds or video audio) to be heard by others.
- Initiate Broadcast: Finally, tap Start Broadcast. A three-second countdown will begin, after which your iPhone's screen will be visible to all participants in the Zoom meeting.
Quick Reference: Sharing Steps
For a quick overview, here's a summary of the steps:
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Join or Start Zoom Meeting |
| 2 | Tap Share Content |
| 3 | Tap Screen |
| 4 | Adjust Microphone On/Off |

Managing Your Screen Share
Once your screen is shared, a red indicator will typically appear at the top of your iPhone's screen, signifying that you are broadcasting.
- Stopping the Share: To stop sharing your screen, simply tap the red indicator at the top of your screen, then select Stop Broadcast. This will return you to the standard Zoom meeting view.
Key Considerations
- Privacy: Be mindful of notifications or sensitive information that might appear on your screen, as everything visible on your device will be shared with meeting participants. Consider turning on "Do Not Disturb" mode before sharing.
- Audio: The option to include device audio is crucial if you plan to play videos or audio clips from your iPhone that you want others to hear.
- Performance: A stable internet connection is vital for a smooth screen-sharing experience.
