Steps for Updating Your Settings in Zoom for Screensharing

Attendees cannot see other attendees raising their hand; however, b y sharing the Participants window during motions/ Q&As, it allows for greater transparency.

 By default, Zoom hides it's own windows from being seen on screen. Follow the steps below to enable this setting so that you can broadcast who is raising their virtual hands:

1. Sign in to the Zoom web portal.
2. In the navigation menu, click Settings.
3. In the In Meeting (Basic) section, make sure Show Zoom windows during screen share is enabled. This setting will allow the setting to appear in the desktop client.
4. Sign out of the Zoom desktop client and sign back in using the free Zoom account you created. Alternatively, you can exit the client and re-open it.
5. Click your profile picture then click Settings.
6. Click the Share Screen tab and make sure Show Zoom windows during screen share is enabled
   
   1. Note for Mac Users: you may also need to enable Use Dual Monitors in the General options.

   Dual Monitors Setting

   If you'd like to have 2 Zoom windows shown at once, you can enable the setting below. This will separate your regular Zoom window and any content shared on screen on another window. This is optional.

GetQuorum's Recommendations

• If possible, having a second monitor is very helpful while moderating. We recommend:
  • One screen being dedicated to what you would like to screenshare during the meeting (i.e. the agenda, the participant window)
  • A second screen dedicated for browser windows (i.e. the GetQuorum dashboard)
• As mentioned above, GetQuorum recommends that the moderator screenshares the participant window for motions to provide full transparency during the meeting as attendees cannot see one another or the participant window
• For any elections with candidate speeches: we recommend confirming if a timer should be shown on the screen to ensure each candidate is provided the same amount of speaking time.
