Requirements
Hosts can add up to three screen shares, and guests can add one. Keep in mind that sharing multiple screens may impact performance and stream quality.
To share audio, toggle on the relevant option when setting up your screen share. Audio sharing is supported for browser tabs, windows, and the entire screen on both Windows and Mac.
To share windows like PowerPoint presentations or Games, you'll need to set them in "Full Window" or “Windowed mode”. Avoid full-screen mode, as it may prevent the window from showing up as a shareable option on your browser.
The resolution and ratio of your shared screen should match the values of your stream settings. For example, in a 1080p stream, you should share a 1080p screen.
