Zooming in on a screen can be helpful when you need to see more detail or when you are meeting in a large room. Here are four ways to zoom in on a screen:

  1. Use the mouse wheel. When you click and hold down the left mouse button, drag the wheel around the screen. This will zoom in and out of different parts of the image.
  2. Use the keyboard shortcuts. To zoom in on a specific part of an image, press Ctrl+0 (zero) or use the arrow keys to move around within the image. To zoom out, press Ctrl+9 (nine).
  3. Use your cursor to select an area of interest and then use Ctrl+0 (zero) or use the arrow keys to move your cursor over that area and then press Enter/Return to zoom in on it.
  4. Use Zoom mode from Microsoft Office applications such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook 2010 or 2013 by clicking File > Options > General > Zoom . ..

Sharing your screen is great for literally showing what’s on your screen, but it also needs to be enabled for Zoom’s Whiteboard feature. We’ll show you how to do that and how to allow multiple people to share screens at once.

Allow People to Share Their Screens in Zoom

To allow participants to share their screens, you’ll need to create and start the meeting first. This is not something you can choose beforehand.

Next, if you’re using the Windows, Mac, or Linux client, click the “Security” button, then check the “Share Screen” option.

On iPhone, iPad, and Android, you’ll need to select the three-dot menu button.

Then tap “Security.”

And now, you can toggle on “Share Screen.”

That’s all there is to it! Everyone in the Zoom video meeting can now share their screens.

Allow Multiple People to Share Their Screens in Zoom at Once

Allowing multiple people in a Zoom meeting to share their screens is a simple thing to do as well. Again, you’ll need to be in charge of a video meeting in progress, and you must be using the Windows, Mac, or Linux client.

Select the little arrow beside the green “Share Screen” button.

From the pop-up menu, select “Multiple Participants Can Share Simultaneously.”

It’s as easy as that. Now more than one person can share their screen or use the Whiteboard at a time. Zoom can feel a little overwhelming with all of its features, but things like this can really improve your meetings.
