Now that you have learned how to share screen with Zoom app on both the iPhone and iPad, you’re ready to use the feature anytime you need it.

As you may have noticed, the screen sharing feature is similar to what you’d use for screen recordings on iPhone and iPad, so if you’re already familiar with that it shouldn’t be too foreign to you.

For those who own multiple iOS devices, you can even use one of those devices to video chat and another device to screen share content with your participants. This feature could come in handy during an online lecture or presentation, or for many other purposes.

Zoom offers both free and paid subscription plans. The free plan has a 40-minute limit on group meetings and capable of hosting up to 100 participants. If you want a longer duration limit on your Zoom meetings, you’ll need to subscribe to the Pro plan that costs $14.99 a month and lets you host 24-hour meetings. Additionally, the $19.99/month business plan will let you host up to 300 participants in a single meeting.

That being said, Zoom certainly isn’t the only video conferencing software that lets you share the content on your iPhone or iPad’s screen. There are also great solutions from Google Hangouts Meet, Skype for Business, and there’s even MacOS native screen sharing if you’re on a Mac, so you can use whichever works for you for your particular needs.

Whether you’re using Zoom for online classes, work related meetings, medical, or even personal use, you may find that Screen Sharing is a great feature to add to your video conferences.

Did you successfully share your iPhone or iPad screen using Zoom? Do you use multiple iOS devices for doing your presentations, slides, and online lectures? Do you use another screen sharing solution instead? Let us know your thoughts and opinions on Zoom in the comments section down below.

    I would love to have instructions for this part of the above article:

    “For those who own multiple iOS devices, you can even use one of those devices to video chat and another device to screen share content with your participants. This feature could come in handy during an online lecture or presentation, or for many other purposes.”

    Let’s say I started a Zoom meeting on my iPhone and wanted to use my iPad as a whiteboard. Is there a way to use the iPhone for the video chat and the iPad as whiteboard, sharing the iPad screen with the other meeting members? How would I do that?

    Many thanks in advance!

    I am curious as to whether Zoom sharing from a cloud service such as iCloud, etc listed, reduces the bandwidth I need for the share. That is, does it avoid me downloading and sharing a multi-gig video for example, over a slow cellular connection.
    I haven’t been able to determine this.

    Why Zoom?

    This app is criticized for its privacy leaks, and a lot of people already have removed this app.

    So why?

    Are U asleep?

  5. Tom Nisbet says:

    Loved the tutorial on the cropping/zoom feature on IPhone which is so useful yet not readily obvious. Thanks

    Using my iPhone Xs, I carefully followed your first set of instructions but after tapping on the subsequent screen did not have at the top. It showed every other choice in your screenshot, just not the first one .
