Owl's Video Therapy now offers Screen Sharing. You can share your screen during the session with your client or the client can share their screen with you. To share your screen, select the More button, then select Share Screen found on the Actions Panel.
Note: this is only available on desktop or laptop computers - this feature is not available on phones or tablets.
Once you select the Share Screen button, you will be prompted to select what part of your screen, or which application, you would like to share. You can select:
- Your Entire Screen: this shows everything on your device's screen
- Application Window: this allows you to choose only one specific application to share (ex: a file you have opened on your device, your full browser window, another program you have open, etc.)
For Chromium (Edge/Chrome) Based Browsers
Chrome Tab: This option allows you to choose only one tab to share from any open tabs in your browser (Note: Similar options may be available in other browsers).
Audio Sharing: You can also share the audio of the content you are sharing so long as you are in a Chromium based browser.
Select your preference, and select Share to begin screen sharing to the session.
Once you have shared your screen, all attendees in the session will be able to see what you are sharing in place of your webcam feed. This does not affect your audio, as your audio feed will continue on as usual. This allows the other attendees to easily view this:
For a better view, attendees can select the Fullscreen option along the bottom of the display (to the right of the name). This hides the rest of the interface from view, and enlarges the video to fit the full size of the browser. Simply move your mouse to have the interface return to view.
At any time, you can select the screen share button again to stop sharing your screen.
