Screen Sharing to other : 

๐Ÿ–ฅ️ If You’re Using Desktop (Windows/Mac):

1. Start or Join your Zoom meeting.


2. Click the “^” arrow next to the Share Screen button on the toolbar.


3. Select “Advanced Sharing Options…”.


4. Under “Who can share?”, choose:

✅ All Participants → allows everyone to share.

or

✅ Host Only → restricts sharing to you (default).



5. Close the window — settings apply immediately.

๐Ÿ“ฑ If You’re Using Mobile (Android/iOS):

1. Tap More (⋯) in the meeting controls.


2. Tap Security (or Meeting Settings).


3. Toggle “Share Screen” to ON for participants.

๐Ÿ’ก Tip:

If you don’t want everyone to share freely, you can make a participant a co-host:

Then, they’ll automatically be able to share their screen.

Host - Cost  - Cloud Recording queries:

You are asking about Zoom meeting recording:

If you are the original host:

  • Recording to cloud is linked to the host account (the account that started the meeting and has cloud storage enabled).

  • If you make someone else the host (Transfer Host), then:

    • Your cloud recording will stop.

    • The new host will need to start the recording.

    • The recording will get saved in the new host’s Zoom account, not yours.

If you make someone a Co-Host (not full host):

  • You remain the main host.

  • The cloud recording will continue under your account.

  • The co-host can control pause/stop but recording still saves in your cloud.

Summary

ScenarioRecording Saved Where?Notes
You transfer Host to someone elseSaved in their Zoom cloud accountYour cloud recording stops immediately.
You make them Co-HostSaved in your Zoom cloud accountRecording continues normally.

So, if you want the recording to stay in your cloud,
make them Co-Host, not Host.
