Learn how to share your screen in Adobe Connect session when joined from the browser.

Hosts and presenters joining from browsers in immersive A/V Experience-enabled rooms can share their screens without requiring the Adobe Connect desktop application. Screen sharing on a browser allows hosts to present web content directly to participants, enhancing the virtual meeting or webinar experience. This capability is beneficial for demonstrating web-based applications, navigating websites, or presenting online content in real time.

Effective screen sharing involves preparing the browser in advance, closing unnecessary tabs, and ensuring sensitive information is hidden. Hosts can use this feature to provide a smooth and interactive viewing experience, making their presentations more dynamic and engaging.

Share the entire screen

On the Share pod, select Screen. You can view the following options:

Share screens
Share screens

The number of screens depends on the number of monitors or display devices connected to your device. Select any screen and select Share

Share an application

When you select Window, you can view the list of all active applications you can share over the browser.

If you are on macOS, you must grant the browser permission to access all the applications. To do so, navigate to System Preferences and grant access to all the applications. For more information, view Grant permission to browsers on macOS.

Share a browser tab

When you select the browser tab option, you view a list of all browser tabs open for a particular screen. Choose the tab that you want to share.

Grant permission to browsers on macOS

  1. If you select Share for the first time, a dialog prompts you to open the system preferences.

    Microsoft Edge

    Firefox

    Google Chrome

  2. Select Open System Preferences and grant the necessary permissions to share the screen. 

  3. If you select Deny and then try to share the screen via the browser, you cannot share your screen. In addition, you would not see any confirmation or message for the same.

Screen sharing settings

An Administrator can disable screen sharing from the browser. 

In Administrator > Compliance and Control > Share Settings, the screen sharing feature can be disabled.

When the option is enabled, and a participant tries to share the screen on the browser, a prompt asks the participant to launch Adobe Connect and then share the screen via the application.
