Enabling Screen Sharing During a Telegram Video Call

Screen sharing during a video call can be an invaluable tool, whether for work presentations, showing off photos, or troubleshooting issues on another’s device. Telegram, known for its robust security and user-friendly features, includes the option to share your screen during a call. Here’s how you can enable this feature:

Step 1: Initiate or Join a Video Call

Start by either initiating a new video call or joining an existing one. Once you’re in the call, you’re just a few taps away from sharing your screen with the participants.

Step 2: Access the ‘More’ Menu

During the call, tap on the screen to reveal the call controls. Look for the ‘More’ option, typically represented by three vertical dots or a similar icon, and tap on it. This will bring up additional call options.

Step 3: Select ‘Share Screen’

From the menu that appears, select the ‘Share Screen’ option. On some devices, you may be prompted to choose what exactly you want to share—your entire screen or a specific application. Make your selection based on what you need to share.

Step 4: Start Screen Sharing

After selecting what to share, you’ll likely need to confirm your choice. On mobile devices, this might be done through a ‘Start Now’ or ‘Start Broadcast’ button, which gives Telegram permission to record what’s on your screen.

Step 5: Manage Your Screen Sharing Session

Once screen sharing is enabled, you can navigate your device as needed. Anything you see on your screen will be visible to other call participants. If you’re on a desktop, you may have the ability to share specific windows or your entire desktop.

Step 6: Stop Sharing Your Screen

When you’re finished sharing, you can easily stop the broadcast. On mobile devices, this is usually done by tapping a ‘Stop’ button, which might be red or otherwise clearly marked. On desktops, you’ll end the screen sharing through the Telegram interface.

Additional Tips for Effective Screen Sharing

• Prepare Your Screen: Before sharing, close any sensitive information or unrelated applications to keep the focus on what you intend to share.
• Mute Notifications: If sharing your entire screen, mute notifications to avoid any personal messages or alerts popping up during the call.
• Stable Connection: Ensure you have a stable internet connection to prevent any disruptions or quality issues during screen sharing.
• Privacy Considerations: Be mindful of what’s on your screen. Once you start sharing, everything visible will be broadcasted to the call participants.

By following these steps, you can share your screen on Telegram with ease, enhancing your communication and collaboration during calls. For more detailed instructions and visual guides, you can refer to tutorial videos and articles available online. Happy sharing!
