Screen sharing is most effective when the presenter chooses the right source and the team knows how to trade off readability, motion, and bandwidth. Hyper treats screen share as a first-class collaboration control because many meetings are only useful if the shared content stays readable.

Sharing your screen

  • Share sits in the center of the control bar and changes to Stop Share while you present.
  • Hosts can stop someone else's share from the participant actions.
  • Hosts decide whether participants may share at all from the meeting's access settings.
  • Share a single window when you need focus and less risk of exposing unrelated content.
  • Share the full display when the demo or workflow spans more than one app.
  • Re-check what is visible before you confirm the share, especially on multi-monitor setups.
  • Narrate what the audience should focus on instead of assuming everyone sees the same detail.
  • Watch the network panel if participants report blurry text or lag.
  • Pause or stop optional camera video if the network is struggling to keep share quality high.

  • Reduce competing video load if the network is constrained.
  • Switch to a single-window share if you were sharing a full display.
  • Review Screen Sharing Quality for network and encoding considerations.
