Viewing a Presentation
As a participant in a Sametime meeting, you can watch others present information on the whiteboard or via screen sharing, or you can become a presenter. When you view a shared screen, you see the initials of the participant who is controlling the screen displayed beside the cursor in the shared screen. If another participant is sharing a file, you might edit the file.
Note You must have permission to edit/share before you can edit a file.
Switching between the Whiteboard and Screen Sharing
In a meeting with both the whiteboard and screen sharing, any participant with permission to edit/share can see the buttons for both screen sharing and the whiteboard and can switch between the tools. If one participant switches the tools, all participants see the change. Do not switch the tools unless you want all meeting participants to switch with you.
Follow these steps to switch between the tools:
- Choose Tools - "Switch to Whiteboard" or Tools - "Switch to Screen Sharing." (Or you can click the Whiteboard or Screen Sharing buttons.)
- A message informs you that all participants in the meeting will switch with you so that they can see what you share. If you are ready to switch to the other tool, click Yes.
