How to Share Your Device Screen

With Thread, you can share your mobile device screen with the other participants in the meet to show them what you're seeing both in and out of Thread. To start sharing your screen follow these steps: 

1. In the Thread Meet tap on the "share" icon

2. Tap on "Share Screen" 

3. Tap on "Share Broadcast"

4. A three-second countdown will start prior to the screen share starting

5. When the screen share has begun you'll see a message in the meet that "You are sharing your screen."

6. If you leave Thread you'll notice a red bar at the top of your device's screen indicating that you're sharing your screen. 

A. You can navigate between applications on your device to share whatever it is that you're seeing; such as a contact in Tact. You'll notice that the red bar is still at the top of the device screen. 

B. Anything on your screen is shared in realtime and participants can see exactly what you're doing on your device; such as taking live meeting notes. You'll notice that the red bar is still at the top of the device screen. 

7. To go back to the Meet tap on the Thread app icon on your device.
