Can I share only part of my screen? Or only one browser tab?

Hi Blizz,

When sharing the screen, are there any other options other than sharing the whole screen?

Thanks!

  • Hello,

    It is possible to share a particular application. Start a meeting, click on "monitor" icon (near a chat icon at bottom of a screen), there you can select an application you want to share.

  • OK thanks @artur_shellunts.

    So just to clarify - those are the only two options right - whole screen, or application.

    I can't choose say a piece of my screen, or a tab within my browser. 

  • Right, only these 2 options.

  • Got it.

    Is it in the plans to add more options to sharing the screen, or no?

    If I remember correctly TeamViewer does allow for that level of granular sharing, right?  (if you know off the top of your head I realize it's a different application alltogether).

  • Currently, there are no plans to add more options for screen sharing.

    You can go to Blizz options and unclick "use new interface" checkbox. Then a meeting UI will be similar to a TeamViewer meeting UI and there will be a couple of additional options for screen sharing. But still, it is not possible to choose some random part of a screen. Please be informed that this is older UI and it is not supported, so there may be issues with it.
