What are the steps to share your screen in your Facebook video calls?
Screen sharing is a function that is extremely useful when using Facebook Messenger. The reason for this is that by using it it is possible to perform certain tasks, such as watching movies, showing an image, making meetings to study or simply to share and have a good time with friends. And how to do this is not difficult, below will tell how to do it.
Directly from your Facebook account
To be able to use the screen sharing function during a direct Facebook video call , you will only have to locate the screen icon. The first thing to do is start a video call on Facebook ; You have to log in and go to the chat box, open the chat you want and click on the camera icon.
When the video call is started, all you have to do is click on the button on the screen at the bottom. By doing so, the function will be activated automatically and the person with whom we are in video call can easily see what we see. As you can see, it is a very simple function to activate, and in Messenger it is even more so.
From your Messenger chats
In order to activate the screen sharing function from the chats, the first thing to do is access the app from the cell phone. After that select the person with whom we will make a video call and start it. Once this is done, it will be time to display the lower part of the interface and there click on screen sharing .
Now, it is important to say that when using this option for the first time, you must activate the security permissions . However, by doing this once you will no longer have to do it again, and by activating them, you can immediately see the screen sharing function.
Sure, this is nothing complicated to do, but it doesn’t always work. Sometimes you cannot use the screen sharing feature in Messenger. Exactly why this can happen will be explained below.
Why can’t you screen share in your Facebook Messenger video calls?
Although this is a feature that can be quite useful when making video calls, and can certainly save valuable time, it cannot always be used. Sometimes there may be circumstances that prevent its use , and one of the reasons why this function can be activated will be explained below.
Unstable internet
The most logical and common reason is that the internet connection that we are using during the video call is unstable. This is a logical and valid reason, since when using this option, practically anything can be displayed with it. For example, there are those who use it to be able to watch videos or movies with their friends.
However, there are other drawbacks to this feature as well. For example, sometimes when using it, the person with whom we are in video call cannot hear us. To find out why, the following will tell exactly why this happens.
Why don’t your contacts listen to you when it comes to sharing your screen on Facebook?
Although this function is efficient, the truth is that sometimes it can happen that our contacts cannot hear us during a video call if we use it. This can happen for three reasons. The first reason is the one already mentioned: the internet connection is unstable, and that is that in order to transmit both screen and audio data, a good connection is needed.
The other reason could be that the microphone was automatically muted . And, since videos are sometimes shared, it may happen that the microphone is muted in order to transmit the sound well. One final reason this could happen is that we don’t have the latest app update; in that case we would have to update .
