Tip: Take a look at Make calls in Slack for more in-depth instructions. And while you're at it, review some of the basics of Slack Calls. 📞

Present your screen

During a call, any participant can present their screen by clicking the Share your screen icon.

Allow others to draw on your screen

By default, your teammates can draw on your screen while you're presenting. To turn this off, click the Group drawing icon. You can also draw on your screen by clicking the Pencil icon. Use this tool to draw attention to specific sentences, charts, data points or whatever else is important to call out.

Tip: Take a look at all the actions you can take when you're on a call.

Take turns

During a call, only one person can share their screen at a time. When you've finished presenting, the next person can start sharing to take control. Yay teamwork!

Active speaker

The team member sharing their screen becomes the active speaker by default: other teammates on the call will only see the active speaker's screen, even when others are talking.

Google Chrome

If you use Slack in Google Chrome, you can view your teammate's shared screen, but you won't be able to start a screen share from your end. To share your own screen, you'll need to switch to the Slack app for Mac or Windows.

Windows 7

Screen sharing in Slack requires transparent windows, but these are unavailable with some Windows 7 desktop themes. Here's how to make sure that you’re using transparent windows:

1. From your Windows desktop, choose Start.
2. Select Control Panel.
3. Choose Personalisation and select any Aero theme.
