When you are collaborating with a team that is spread across the world, the best way to brainstorm or discuss ideas, or even get the job done, is via a video conference. There are many video conferencing apps available in the market, and Google Meet (Hangouts) is one of them.
Video conferencing apps these days have the ability to do a screen share. This means that users can now share a live stream of their computer displays and show everyone at the conference exactly what is going on your computer. This is useful when you are working on a project with an international community and instead of sharing screenshots and waiting for a response, a screen share makes things faster and editing can be done in real-time.
In this tutorial, we will show you how you can share your screen on a Google Meet (Hangouts) video call.
