Hello, anyone use BigBlueButton? When I click screen-sharing, my desktop displays screen-within-screen and is unusable. When I disable screen-sharing, I can see my lecture notes fine. Any ideas?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi, @rlecessi --
Great question! I use Google Chrome and will be answering this question using the Chrome web browser. See my screenshot att'd. I am able to share "Your Entire Screen" (I can share the desktop from 1 of 2 monitors), Chrome Tab (each of my open Google Chrome tabs will have selection card), or an Application Window (each application open on my desktop will have a selection card).
I know there is a Google Chrome add-on/extention for BBB screen share. Please let me know if this helps!
My best,
Jeanna
