How to share your phone screen in a video meeting from iPhone or Android (2026)

If you searched "share iPhone screen in a meeting" or "screen share from phone", the short answer for InterMIND is: in the iOS or Android app, start sharing, allow the system's screen capture, and the room sees your phone screen as the main display — the same way a laptop share works. This guide is the rest: the steps on each platform, what the others see, what a phone can and cannot do while sharing, what a phone does when someone else shares, and — quoted from Google's and Microsoft's help pages, checked September 2026 — what Meet and Teams state about the phone app.

Share the phone screen

1. Join the meeting in the app — the InterMIND app for iOS (App Store) or Android (Google Play, Android 8 or later). Sharing the phone's screen is a feature of the apps; the mobile browser joins the meeting.
2. Start sharing from the meeting controls.
3. Allow screen capture. Android asks for its screen-capture permission; iOS asks to start the screen broadcast. Confirm, and the share begins.
4. Stop from the same control, or from the system's own indicator, and your camera is back.

The room sees your phone screen as the main display; your camera moves to a small tile, exactly as with a laptop share. Everything you show — a document, a photo, an app — is seen by every participant, in every language in the room, because what you say over it is translated for each of them as you speak.

What a phone does when someone else shares

• Pinch to zoom. A shared screen on a phone can be pinched to zoom into the part you need, and viewed in landscape.
• The laser pointer lands on you. When a presenter on a laptop draws the pointer, the trail is stored relative to the shared video, not to their monitor, so it lands on the same spot on your phone. Drawing the pointer yourself is a web and desktop feature today.
• Presenter modes follow you. If the presenter picked Side by side, a narrow phone screen moves their camera under the content instead of squeezing it.

What stays after the call

The share itself disappears the moment it stops. What was said over it does not: after every transcribed InterMIND meeting, the signed-in participants get the recap — the summary and the full transcript — and each reads the summary in their own language. A moderator can also start a server recording into the team's storage; the phone app joins the meeting that is being recorded like any other participant.

Where the phone apps stop

The InterMIND apps are optional — the meeting itself is identical in the browser and in the apps. What the apps add is around the meeting window: a call that survives switching apps (a foreground service on the phone), push notifications, sharing into InterMIND from other apps, and the phone screen share described here. The full comparison is in the apps documentation.
