📖 Step-by-Step Guide to Share PowerPoint on Zoom
1️⃣ Open Your PowerPoint First
Before you do anything on Zoom, open the PowerPoint file you want to share. Keep it ready.
2️⃣ Join Your Zoom Meeting
Now, open Zoom and join the meeting where you have to present.
3️⃣ Click on ‘Share Screen’
At the bottom of the Zoom window, you’ll see a green button called “Share Screen”. Click on it.
4️⃣ Pick the Right Window
- After clicking Share Screen, you’ll see small boxes.
- If your PowerPoint is open, you’ll see its name.
- If you want to show everything, pick “Screen” (best if you switch between slides and other stuff).
- Then click “Share”.
5️⃣ Start the Slideshow
Now, go back to your PowerPoint and click “Slide Show” and then “From Beginning”. Your slides will go full screen, and everyone on Zoom can see them.
