Presenter Activity Suitable for Higher Bandwidth ONLY (Screensharing)
To share your desktop or display websites (or software applications that are located on your computer), you will need to share your screen.

Using Chrome
- Share your screen to view a website or demonstrate an application
- Using Chrome web browser
(Choose: “Your Entire Screen”)
Using Firefox
- Using Firefox web browser
(Choose “Entire Screen” [the last option] to share your screen OR you can share a specific web browser tab or a specific application application)
When you share your screen, the presentation area displays a "mirror" of your desktop.
This is normal, and both you and your students will see this effect until you display a web site or application on your desktop.
