Screen sharing has become an integral part of video calls but it is easy to lose your audience's attention when they can only see your content on screen while you present. Good news is that you don't need to hide behind your screen anymore since Prezi Video allows you to share your desktop screen or a specific window while recording a video or presenting live and keep connected with your audience even when you need to show a product demo or share an assignment.

Once you are done with creating and customizing your video content, converting your Powerpoint presentation or importing a Prezi presentation, open your video conferencing tool of choice and select the Prezi Video Virtual Camera in the camera settings to start live streaming your content, then return to the Prezi Video desktop app. 

You will see the Share Screen option next to the other content view modes. Click this button to select from the screen sharing options. You can either share your desktop screen or select a specific window from your computer. 

Once you select a window, click Share Selected. While sharing your screen, you can switch between the different views by using the 1 (presenter-only view), 2 (presenter+content view) and 3 (content-only view) keys or by using the buttons in the bottom left corner of the video window.
