Group Video and BrazenLive Video Broadcasts are powerful ways to engage during live events and ensure personal, meaningful connections. Hosts and Presenters can share their screen during Group Video and BrazenLive Video Broadcasts, enabling slide shows to accompany their discussions.
Before you share your screen, check that your browser and system settings have the proper settings enabled. If you do not have the proper setting enabled, you will receive a notification when you attempt to share your screen. These settings differ between browsers and Windows and Mac computers.
