Giving control to your shared screen

[Tprete]

We just went through the major upgrade of Webex and are now on version (42.5.0.22221).  We are finding that we lost the ability to assign someone control of a screen we are sharing.  Can anyone direct me to how to do this in the new version?

Thank you!

Hi @Tprete, 

Are you facing this issue for Windows 10 or 11? I have see another recent post with similar issue for Windows 11.

Hi @Tprete ,

I am using same Webex version and I can share screen as well as give control to other user. 

Try using SHIFT+ALT+R keyboard shortcuts.

Hello,

Are you talking about the Annotate feature? If so:

- Hover over the top of the shared screen to access the drop-down sharing menu.

- Click "Annotate."

- There should be a vertical Annotate options bar on the left-hand side of the screen.

- The first icon at the top of the bar should look like a writing implement with an arrow next to it--click that icon.

- A list of available meeting participants will pop up; you can select who you'd like to allow to annotate from there.

- Please note: if there is only one other person in the meeting, clicking the icon will simply provide annotation permissions for both of you.

I hope this helps. If you're not talking about the Annotate feature, my apologies for misunderstanding.
