            Step 2: Share the Screen with the Audience

              2. Select the Screen Sharing item
              3. Click Next
              4. Select the host/presenter to assign to the block and click Next
              5. Select the Countdown timer checkbox on the next screen (optional)
              6. Click the "Add to Storyboard" button to finish.
            2. Once you have added the storyboard block, click (play) it to share the screen with the audience. Note that you can start Step 1 (above) before or start it later (after this step).

            Step 3: Preview

            You can view a preview of what you are sharing or hide it ...

            Step 4: Multiple Presenters

            If there are multiple presenters, you can,
            1. Add multiple storyboard items for each
            2. Have them started the screen at once
            3. Click (play) each storyboard item (block) to show each person's screen.

            Step 5: Ending

            1. To stop what you share, click the Stop Sharing button at the upper left of your web browser (Chrome) or Stop Sharing button at the top-center (Firefox). 
            2. To stop streaming it to the audience, you can change the screen share storyboard block by playing the next block. 

            Can I Share PowerPoint or YouTube

            1. You can share a PowerPoint with the slides module, but if it includes animations and audio, use the screen sharing module
            2. DO NOT USE SCREEN SHARE TO SHARE YOUTUBE. Use the "Web Content Block" instead.

            Troubleshooting MacOS

            On Macs, your screen may not be visible even if you share it. This is a problem with the system permissions.
