InformationBy using the Share pod in Adobe Connect, you can display the contents of your screen or individual application windows for your participants to view. You can also annotate your shared screen.

  1. To get started, click the Share My Screen button in the middle of the Share pod.
  2. A dialogue box will pop up. You will have three choices: Desktop, Applications, and Windows.
