This article explains how to use the zoom and maximize/minimize features during a screen-sharing session in Scoot. These controls allow you to adjust your view of the shared content for better clarity.
Screen Share Zoom
Description: During an active screen-sharing session where the host is presenting content, you have the ability to zoom in and out on the shared screen. This can be particularly useful for viewing detailed portions of the presentation.
Location of Controls: The zoom controls are located in the lower right-hand corner of the screen share area.
Available Controls:
- Plus Sign (+) Clicking the plus sign will zoom in on the shared screen, making the content appear larger.
- Minus Sign (-): Clicking the minus sign will zoom out on the shared screen, making the content appear smaller.
- Return to Default View: This button, also located in the lower right-hand corner, will reset the zoom level and return the screen share to its original size and view. ###
Usage Instructions:
- While viewing a screen share, locate the zoom controls in the lower right-hand corner.
- Click the plus sign (+) to zoom in for a closer look.
- Click the minus sign (-) to zoom out and see more of the screen.
- Click the Return to Default View button to go back to the standard screen share view. ---
Feature: Maximize / Minimize Screen Share
Description: Scoot also allows you to adjust the size of the screen share window by maximizing or minimizing it. This feature is helpful when you want to focus solely on the shared content and temporarily hide other elements of the meeting interface, such as the participant gallery.
Location of Controls: The maximize and minimize buttons are located in the lower left-hand portion of the screen share area.
Available Controls:
- Maximize Button: Clicking the maximize button will increase the size of the screen share window, often to fill the entire meeting window or even your full screen. This may hide the participant gallery to provide more space for the shared content.
- Minimize Button: Clicking the minimize button will decrease the size of the screen share window, potentially making the participant gallery visible again.
Usage Instructions:
- During a screen share, find the maximize and minimize buttons in the lower left-hand corner.
- Click the maximize button to make the screen share larger and potentially hide the gallery.
- Click the minimize button to reduce the size of the screen share and possibly view the gallery again.
