When an attendee becomes a presenter, the Control Panel adjusts to incorporate the Presenter Screen Sharing pane at the top. The Screen Sharing pane provides the presenter with access to the various presentation controls.
The Broadcasting Status field notifies presenters of the status of screen sharing (a)
The Show My Screen button starts/pauses showing the presenter’s entire desktop to attendees (b)
The Screen drop-down button allows the presenter to share specific application windows, or a clean screen with meeting attendees (c)
The Give Keyboard & Mouse button grants shared mouse and keyboard control to another attendee (d)
The Change Presenter button passes the presenter role to another attendee (e)
To share your entire desktop
Click the Screen button on the GoToMeeting Control Panel.
Select the Screen option.
Note: Hovering over your Show Only menu selection will display an animated gray frame which indicates what attendees will see if selected. If you select an application window that is minimized, the selected window will automatically maximize and be presented to attendees. If the presenter opens a window on top of the window being shared, screen sharing will pause until the intruding window is either moved or closed.
Note: The specific application sharing feature will also allow you to share one or all of your multiple monitors if you have the hardware already set up.
Note: To change the background color of a clean screen presentation, simply right-click on your desktop while you’re in that mode and pick from the available colors.
Mac presenters do not have the option of displaying a
clean screen or a specific application. We recommend you close all windows
you do not want to be seen by attendees before beginning screen sharing.
Your keyboard and mouse controls can be temporarily shared with one of your attendees or the entire group. Simply click the Give Keyboard & Mouse button on the Screen Sharing pane or the Grab Tab and then select the attendee. As the presenter you will always have priority control of your keyboard and mouse, and can regain control simply by hitting a key or moving your mouse.
If you would like pass the presenter role to one of your attendees, simply click the Change Presenter button on the Screen Sharing pane or the Grab Tab and select the new presenter.
To return the presenter role to yourself, click the Change Presenter button again and select your own name.
Organizers and panelists can request keyboard and mouse control from the presenter. Right-click or control-click your name in the Attendee List pane and select Request Keyboard & Mouse Control.
