Facebook Messenger’s new feature allows you to share your screen with friends and family in video calls with up to eight people. This feature can be very helpful in various situations, such as when you want to share a presentation, show someone how to use an app, or simply share an interesting video.
To begin, open Facebook Messenger from your apps drawer and select one or more contacts to continue. Next, tap the camera icon to start the video call. Once the video call starts, tap on the screen for more options and swipe up on the toolbar at the bottom. From the expanded menu, tap on “share your screen.” A confirmation window will pop up, and you need to tap on “start now” to begin sharing your screen.
Screen sharing will start as soon as you leave this screen. Simply open the app with the content that you want to share. You can also add more people to the call if you like. You’ll be able to see a confirmation that screen sharing is on, and you can stop sharing your screen anytime by tapping the stop button.
The other people on the video chat will be able to see a live view of whatever is on your phone screen. The video chat interface will move to the upper right-hand corner of your phone, so you will still be able to see your friends on camera while you show them what’s on your phone.
Overall, Facebook Messenger’s screen sharing feature is straightforward and easy to use. It can be a useful tool for staying connected with your loved ones or collaborating with colleagues from afar. Give it a try and see how it can enhance your video calls experience.
