- Facebook’s Messenger app now has the ability to share your screen on mobile devices
Facebook’s Messenger app now has the ability to share your screen on mobile devices. So you can show your family members or friends what you are viewing on your phone or tablet. Or you can share it through group chats in Messenger Rooms. This feature is available on iOS and Android.
In order to share your screen, you have to make sure to have the latest version of Messenger installed. While in a call, swipe the bottom of the screen to see the call options and tap on Share Your Screen > Start Sharing > Start Broadcast.
The screen sharing feature turns off your camera and it allows people on the call to see what is on your screen.
“We will soon add the ability to control who can share their screen in Rooms and expand the number of people you can share your screen with up to 50 within Messenger Rooms. With these new controls, Room creators will be able to determine whether to limit the ability to screen share to just themselves or make the feature available to all participants when creating a room and during the call,” explained Nora Micheva, Product Manager at Messenger in a blog post.
