Sharing your screen in class

Screen sharing lets the class see what is on your screen: a document, a web page or your slides.

Your teacher's screen

Your teacher can share their screen at any time. It appears in place of their video, and you see it as long as they share.

Sharing your own screen

In adult courses, you can share your screen too, where your class offers it. Children's courses (Kids and Young Learners) have no screen sharing for the learner.

• Press Share screen at the bottom of the classroom.
• A notice reminds you that the class is recorded, so what you show is recorded too. Close anything private, then press Share my screen.
• Your browser asks what to share: the whole screen, one window or one tab. Choose, then confirm.

Your browser decides whether screen sharing is possible: most computer browsers allow it, but most phones do not, so the button does not appear there.

Seeing what you share

While you share, a small preview above the buttons shows exactly what the class sees, with You are sharing your screen beside it. To stop, press Stop sharing there or at the bottom, or use your browser's own stop button.

Privacy

• What you share is part of the class recording, kept for 60 days like the rest of the recording. Group classes are not recorded; everyone in the session sees what you share.
• Share only what you are allowed to show: never payment details or other people's personal information.
