How to present to everyone in a video meeting — and scroll your shared tab without leaving the call (2026)

"Can you scroll down a bit?" is the sentence a shared screen produces most often. If you searched "how to present in a video meeting so everyone sees the same thing", the short answer for InterMIND is two things: Present to everyone puts the share on your main stage onto everyone's main stage at once, and when you share a browser tab you scroll it with the mouse wheel over your own share preview — from inside the meeting, without switching to that tab. This guide explains both, the browser permission behind the second one, and what viewers keep.

Present to everyone: one main stage for the room

Every participant's stage is their own: each person clicks tiles to move them between the main area and the sidebar and arranges the room the way they like. As long as one thing is shared, that share is everyone's main by default. Present to everyone exists for the moment there is more than one — two people sharing at once, or a screen share next to a shared document, note or recap — and each participant's main area may show a different one.

1. Put it on your main stage. Your screen, a shared document, a recap — whatever should be in the middle of everyone's screen.
2. Click Present to everyone. The button sits on the share in your main area. It puts that share onto every participant's main stage at once, and a person who joins later lands on it too.
3. Present something else the same way. Move the next share to your main stage and click again. Participants keep their own stage afterwards — the button moves the room, it does not lock it.

Any participant can present, not only the host. A recap presented this way renders the full session on stage — the summary and the transcript tabs — and a timestamp clicked in the summary opens the transcript in place, for everyone.

Scroll your shared tab without leaving the call

When you share a browser tab, the wheel over your own share preview scrolls the page in that tab. You stay on the meeting screen, the room watches the page move, and you never switch windows to scroll down. It works while your preview is in Zoom to fit; in Original size the wheel pans the enlarged frame locally instead.

This runs on a browser capability the presenter's browser has to allow once: the first wheel shows a prompt for "Scrolling & zooming of shared tabs". If the browser blocked it, you see a notice — allow it in the site permissions, then share again. Only a tab share offers it, on a desktop Chromium browser such as Chrome or Edge; sharing a window or the entire screen does not.

What viewers keep

• Their own zoom. Every viewer switches the share between Zoom to fit and Original size and pans the enlarged frame — without changing what anyone else sees.
• The pointer. The laser pointer lands on the same spot on every display, whatever a viewer's zoom.
• The presenter mode you picked. How your camera sits with the content — Content only, Standout or Side by side — is the presenter's choice, and everyone sees the layout you picked.
• Nothing inside your tab. Viewers watch the page; they do not scroll it, click links or type. The tab stays yours.

What stays after the call

The presented share disappears when it stops; the recap does not. After every transcribed meeting the signed-in participants get the summary and the full transcript, each reading the summary in their own language. A moderator can also start a server recording into the team's storage. The full rules are in the screen sharing documentation.

FAQ

How do I make everyone see the same thing in a meeting? Put it on your main stage — a share, a document, a recap — and click Present to everyone. It goes onto every participant's main stage at once, late joiners included.

When does the Present to everyone button appear? When the room has more than one thing shared at the same time, so participants may be looking at different ones. With a single share there is nothing to choose — it is everyone's main already.

Can participants scroll my shared screen themselves? No. Viewers zoom and pan their own copy of the share; the page inside your tab moves only when you scroll it. What is new is that you scroll it from the meeting screen, over your own preview, without switching to the tab.

Why doesn't the wheel scroll my tab? Your browser blocked the capability, or the share is a window or the whole screen. Allow "Scrolling & zooming of shared tabs" in the site permissions and share the tab again; it works on desktop Chrome and Edge.

Does a late joiner see what I am presenting? Yes. A participant who joins after you clicked Present to everyone lands on the presented share.
