Action

For Zoom meetings/classes, only the meeting host can share their screen in a meeting/class by default. This setting gives the meeting host sole permission to share content in a meeting/class by default. The meeting host may temporarily allow all participants to share their screen for a specific meeting/class purpose, but should change the setting back to Host Only. Complete the following steps to change the setting for all of your Zoom meetings.

As of 3/26/2020, Zoom released an enhancement to allow instructors to have more control over their Zoom meetings and to ensure privacy and security.
