How to Share PowerPoint on Zoom

This guide will walk you through the steps to successfully share a PowerPoint presentation in a Zoom meeting. Follow these simple instructions to ensure your presentation is displayed correctly to all participants.

  3. Click "Share Screen" - Find and select the green "Share Screen" button in the meeting controls at the bottom of your Zoom window.
