Efficient Workflow for Teachers: A Guide to Sharing 2 Screens on Zoom PC without Disrupting Students
Note: If you can't find your shared file, troubleshoot the issue of not seeing the shared screen on the host's computer - the host: On Zoom -> Click settings icon -> Click Share Screen on your left -> Check the box 'Enable the remote control of all applications'.
Using Dual Screens on Zoom for Teaching
Step 1: Firstly, create an online class and open Powerpoint presentation on Zoom (or any teaching material for students). Then, minimize it to half of your computer screen and set it aside. Open the content you want to work on the other half.
Step 2: On the Zoom app, click on 'Share Screen'.
Step 3: On the interface's top, click 'Advanced'.
Step 4: Click 'Portion of Screen' and then click 'Share' as shown below.
Step 5: Now, a green frame will appear. This frame helps you adjust the content to the appropriate size.
Step 6: Now, you just need to adjust the green frame to the projected content area, resizing it as desired.
Instead of using the split-screen feature on Windows, which causes the screen to shrink and makes it difficult for students to see and take notes when you pause, consider using the split-screen feature on Zoom. Using dual screens on Zoom while teaching allows you to multitask without disrupting the teaching process, saving a significant amount of time for your work. If you're not familiar with how to enable screen sharing for your students, teachers can refer to How to Allow Everyone to Share Screen in Zoom, available here.
