Working with Content
Showing the Desktop
When you show your Windows desktop, all participants see the same content at the same time. You can show
slides, spreadsheets, or any other type of file. Everyone sees everything on your Windows desktop, including the
cursor. The far end cannot control the cursor or edit the file. Only one participant at a time can show content.
If your computer is running in a dual monitor configuration, you can choose whether to show the content displayed
on the right or left (top or bottom) monitor. You can also choose to show just a portion of the content.
Tip: Before you show your Windows desktop, make sure that your content is ready.
