ZOOM PRO: CAN'T SHARE SCREEN
Please help! I can't find the button to share my screen during Zoom meetings! I had no trouble doing this in the last two weeks, although I don’t recall the exact date when I last shared my screen.
I'm running the latest zoom under Windows 10 with NVDA. I have a Pro account, and I am the host of the meeting.
Before, I would simply press ALT+S and then specify what I wanted to share. But pressing ALT+S seems to do nothing now, and tabbing through the meeting controls does not take me to a Share Screen button.
I can't seem to find anything in my local settings or the meeting scheduling options that would affect screen sharing either. I'm stumped, and I am giving an important presentation in two days time to sighted people, demonstrating how I navigate a Website using a screenreader.
Any help gratefully received.
Chris P.S. I’ve also checked in Settings in both the Hotkeys and Accessibility categories, and nothing seems amiss there either.

Adendum: The meeting two weeks ago where I was able to share my screen used a free Zoom account. It’s using a pro account where I can’t seem to find any controls to share my screen.
What could be different between free and paid that would cause this?

I don't know if this will help. A Google searched shows this link as one result: https://knowledge.vibe.us/why-i-do-not-see-share-screen-option-on-zoom

Gene, thank you so much!
Logging into the Zoom Website itself, I found that screen sharing had been disabled.
I can stop panicking now. LOL Thanks again.

Can you try alt s to share, then go through the dialogue that should in theory come up? It’s been a while since I’ve done this, I use discord for most of that now. Sorry.

I have a paid account and I can share screens. Not sure if it is a pro account, it’s the one with up to 100 people limit. Try the alt s key to bring up the dialogue.
Good luck.

Good, glad you found it, also you learned a new key stroke, I think it speaks that one, if not you can look under zoom’s prefs to see if my fingers didn’t get tongue tied.
