Zoom - Mac Issue maybe......

[Lilli888]

Here is where I used to be able to share screen from but not since I started this job with my new mac. I assumed it was because of their admin locking certain features but it did work on the 'more' tab(I'll upload that with my very bad handwriting/note in a minute).

Can you post a screenshot of what you are seeing, that might help narrow things down. I use Zoom all the time and set it up on my new Mac Studio a couple of months ago.

You can see where the 3 dots are on the bottom right and 'more' well that is the only place it has appeared so far.It worked last week and this week it has disappeared.

Don't click on the up arrow next to share. Click on the whole green button instead. That will popup a new thing which will list all of windows you can share or the desktop(s).

If you have the right permission, you'll sceenshots of all your windows, otherwise you'll see empty screens for all of them.

Choose either a screen or desktop and then click on Share on the pop-up.

Zoom has been updating quickly and it sounds like you might have used it prior to a UI redesign.

My apologies. I missed that as I was reading through the thread.

I did post the screenshots but they haven't appeared here yet. My friend did remote access as he wanted to find the zoom file path as he thinks the old zoom files are corrupting the latest zoom download and wanted to delete them and also rename any other zoom related files so my mac didn't get them confused or pick up anything from them. So that's my last resort tomorrow or ask my company to delete my account and start afresh or wait until their IT guy to come back from holiday in a few days time.

First, I can't believe I missed that. I don't use Zoom daily but I should have caught that.

Second, in lieu of M & Ms might I suggest any of the following as comfort foods (in no particular order):
1, Apple Pie Jam
2, Pineapple jam
3. Hawaiian pizza (extra pineapple w/wo jalepanos)

I know. I feel like doing the walk of shame like in GOT but less abusive! lol I do have some custard and there is a shop near me that has apple pies so I may be drowning in that at the weekend! or actually all of those things on your list. That is the weight of my embarrassment!

Sadly, I've been there and done that and that's why I know.
