# 🖥  Share Your Screen

Screenshare makes your screen visible to people you are connected to over video chat. If you screenshare while broadcasting, your screen will be visible to everyone who can see your broadcast. You can share a tab, window, or your entire screen. 

##### **To Share your Screen:**

1. Hover over your own video tile
2. Click the **Share Screen ![screenshare](https://22253251.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/22253251/screenshare.svg)** icon

3. Choose tab, window, or share your entire screen. If you want to share your audio, you must choose a tab and toggle 'Share tab audio' on.
4. To stop sharing your screen, click the ![screenshare](https://22253251.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/22253251/Latest%20UI%20Icons%20-%202025/screenshare.svg) **Stop Sharing Screen** icon in the upper left corner of your video tile.

*Note: If the Share Screen ![screenshare](https://22253251.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/22253251/Latest%20UI%20Icons%20-%202025/screenshare.svg) icon is not available on your video tile, screensharing may be disabled in the world. Ask a Manager of the world to enable screenshare in the **World Settings ![settings](https://22253251.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/22253251/settings.svg)**.*

 

### **FAQs about Screen Sharing**

#### **Can I make my screen higher resolution?**

- Yes. To make the screen higher resolution, enter broadcast mode<https://22253251.hs-sites.com/knowledge/pricing-/-billing?hsLang=en#Pricing-Billing> in your world.

 

#### **Is it possible to enlarge a screen that is being shared?**

- Yes! When someone is screen sharing, there should be a pin icon that appears over their screen in the top right corner to enlarge the video feed. Click on that icon and their screen will open in the center of your window.

 

#### **Who can screen share within Topia?**

- If enabled by the world owner, anyone guest in the world can share a screen within Topia. While sharing screen, that person’s video can be enlarged by other users. In a free world, screen sharing is limited to no more than 1 guest at a time.

 

#### **I'm getting an error when I try to share with the "entire screen" or "application window" options.**

- Your privacy settings in your operating system may be preventing you from selecting these options. If you are on a Mac, go to **System Preferences** ➞ **Security & Privacy** ➞ **Screen Recording**. In that menu, Chrome must be enabled for Chrome to access non-Chrome applications or your whole screen.
