How do I enable remote control of all applications in Zoom?

Enabling remote control in Zoom allows you to control another participant's screen, including the applications visible on their screen, during a screen sharing session. This feature must be enabled in your Zoom account settings via the web portal before it can be used in meetings.

To enable the Remote Control feature in Zoom:

1. Sign in to the Zoom web portal. You can access the portal by visiting the official Zoom website and logging in with your account credentials.
2. Navigate to Settings. Once signed in, find and click on Settings in the navigation menu, typically located on the left side of the page.
3. Select the Meeting tab. Within the Settings page, there are different tabs. Click on the Meeting tab to access meeting-related configurations.
4. Find the Remote control toggle. Scroll down to the In Meeting (Basic) section. Look for the setting labeled Remote control.
5. Enable the feature. Click the toggle switch next to Remote control to turn it on. The toggle should turn blue, indicating it is enabled.
6. Verify the change (if prompted). If a verification dialog box appears asking you to confirm the change, click Enable to proceed.

Once this setting is enabled in your web portal, the Remote Control option will be available during your Zoom meetings, allowing a participant to request or grant remote control of a shared screen. This capability extends to interacting with applications running on the shared screen.

Here's a summary table of the steps:

Enabling this feature is essential for scenarios requiring collaborative work, technical support, or presentations where one person needs to interact directly with content displayed by another participant. Keep in mind that the ability to control applications is limited to what is visible and accessible on the participant's shared screen.
