Share your screen with a caller

While on a call in the browser phone, show the caller your screen through a link.

Where to find it

Browser phone bar (during a call)

Steps

  1. During a live call on the browser phone, press the screen share button (“Share your screen”) in the call bar.
  2. Your browser asks which window or screen to share; choose one.
  3. The bar shows the viewing link and “Waiting for them to open the link…”. Press “Copy link” and send it to the caller.
  4. When they are watching, the bar says “They can see your screen”.
  5. Press “Stop sharing” when you are done.

Troubleshooting

It says “The connection could not be made. Where both ends are behind a strict firewall a relay is needed — set one under Telephony & AI.”

A strict firewall blocked the connection. A relay server is needed; ask your platform operator.

Nothing happens when I press the button.

If you close the browser’s picker without choosing, nothing is shared. Press it again and choose a window.

Tips

  • Close private windows before sharing your whole screen.

Good to know

  • Available during a live call on the browser phone, when your line is connected.
  • Your browser must support screen sharing.
