Key's Quick Tips: Share Only a Portion of Your Screen in Zoom's Advanced Settings

Key's Quick Tips are provided by Kelly Key, Assistive Technology Coordinator for Barrington 220. Each month, Kelly Key features a tool to support our students.

Hot off the press...Share Only a Portion of your screen in Zoom's Advanced Settings!

When teaching in Zoom:

• Do you have more than one window open, but just want to show a portion of your screen to students? 
• Do you have an interactive slides presentation that needs to stay out of presentation mode to make interactive, but you only want your students to see the slide you are on? 
• Do you want to zoom in on a math problem?
• Show students specific text in a book?
• Support a student with a vision impairment by only showing the content you are talking about at the time? 

...Then use the advanced Portion of a Screen feature in Zoom!

This is also a great way to support students with vision impairments, or students with attention difficulties. It allows you to target specific areas on your screen that the students will only see!

Directions

Portion of Screen

Adjust the Green Box to show only what you would like. While you are adjusting, it will not show what is on the screen.

Students will now only see what is inside the green box.


This is very easy to do throughout your lesson!
