Overview
By default, when you screenshare to a Zoom Room, your computer's entire desktop is shared. If you want Zoom to show the sharing options so you can select specific windows or applications, you must change the Zoom app settings on your computer.
Note that this option is only available when you screenshare using the Zoom app. If you are plugging your computer directly into the Zoom Room using an HDMI cable or multiport adapter, your entire desktop is shared.
