Helpfully, each option shows you exactly what your audience will see, allowing you to avoid any embarrassing overshares (because let’s face it, no one needs to see THAT Spotify playlist).

Sharing your current tab
To share your current tab, click on the image of the tab and then click the blue Share button in the bottom right-hand corner.

Sharing another tab
Perhaps you’ve got a tab open that you’d like to share with the meeting. In that case, click on Other Tab, select the relevant tab from the list on the left, and then click the blue Share button.

Sharing a window
If you’ve got a separate window open that phone number in america you’d like to share, click Window and then select the relevant thumbnail. Share it with your meeting by clicking the blue Share button.

The final option lets you share your entire screen. However, bear in mind that this means your audience can also see any open chats, web pages, or cat videos… so exercise caution.

Option 2: Entering a meeting code
The other option offered when you click on the Present to a meeting button in Google Slides allows you to join a meeting that’s not in your Google Calendar — provided you know its code or nickname. When you click this option, you’ll be invited to enter the code or nickname. Clicking continue will generate the same pop up as before, so you can choose your sharing options.
