For Android & iPhone

If you are using an Android smartphone, iPad, or iPhone, here is how to Screen Share on WhatsApp:

• Open WhatsApp and start a video call with the contact you want to share the screen.

• When the person picks up the call, tap the Ellipsis (3-dot) icon and select Share Screen.

Tip: You can stop sharing your screen on WhatsApp anytime during the video call by tapping the Stop Sharing option. The call will continue even if you stop sharing your screen.

For WhatsApp Desktop on a PC

Did you know you can also share your screen on WhatsApp using your computer? Most people prefer to share the screen on a PC thanks to a bigger screen and higher resolution. However, you can't screen share on a PC without the WhatsApp Desktop app because video calls are not supported on WhatsApp Web. So, download WhatsApp Desktop.

If you have installed the desktop app, here is how to share screens in WhatsApp for PC:

• Open your WhatsApp chat feed and tap on the contact you want to share the screen with.
• Tap on the video call icon to start a video call. WhatsApp will request access to your microphone and camera. Grant permission to continue.

• Once the other person picks up, tap on the Screen Share icon at the bottom of your screen and choose which window you want to share.

Tip: If you use WhatsApp on a Windows PC or macOS computer, you should always back up your WhatsApp data to your computer to prevent data loss.
