4. You have three options to maximize your screen share:

  • Default mode: This mode is the optimal setting for most content types.
  • Video mode: This mode will improve the quality of the video and smoother streaming. Best for video-based presentations and screen sharing a window or tab with an embedded video.
  • Text mode: This mode ensures that text is sharp and clear. Best for text-based presentations, documents, and spreadsheets.

5. Choose either Browser Tab, Window, or Entire Screen.
