Screenshare 2.0 utilizes new functionality to improve the screen and webcam-sharing experience. This article details the process by which a user may engage in utilizing them.
If you do not see the presenter tool, you may not have screen share permissions. Contact your campus admin for assistance.
Note: Your private campus will need to be on version 2.8 or newer, and have requested that Screenshare 2.0 be enabled.
Important: if you are already sharing your screen or webcam, please note that you must first STOP the process by clicking on the illuminated icon 
. You may then click the other button to initiate that feature.

has become illuminated in order to signify its use.
