Share and stop sharing your screen

Before you share

You control when your screen is shared. Before starting, close messages, documents and applications that are unrelated to the training.

Open the software, window or browser tab you expect to use during the exercise.

Start sharing your screen

1. While you are in the Train Lens session, select Share my screen.
2. When your browser opens its sharing chooser, select the content you want your trainer to see.
3. Confirm the selection using the browser's sharing control.
4. Return to Train Lens and check that the sharing indicator shows that sharing is active.

What your trainer can see

Your trainer can see the content you actively select through the browser sharing chooser while sharing remains active.

Choose the narrowest sharing option that works for the training task when you want to reduce the chance of showing unrelated information.

Stop sharing your screen

1. Return to your Train Lens session.
2. Select Stop Sharing Screen.
3. Confirm that the active-sharing indicator is no longer shown.

Share again later

If your trainer asks you to share again later in the session, repeat the same process. You can choose a different screen, window or browser tab the next time you share.
