You can display the screen of your iPhone or iPad during your virtual meeting. Here are the steps.
Sometimes, you want to show or demonstrate something directly on your iPhone or iPad during a Zoom meeting. Sure, you can join a Zoom call from your mobile device. But what if you’re already running the meeting on your computer? That will work as well.
Zoom’s Share feature includes an option to share the screen of your iPhone or iPad. You just need to install a plugin to get started. Then you can use your device’s Screen Mirroring option to share its screen. Let’s see how this works.
