### Share your screen using the Google Chrome browser

1. Click **Tools**.
2. Select the **Desktop Share** option.
3. Choose what you would like to share:
  1. **Your Entire Screen** - If you have multiple screens, then you can choose which screen you want to share. This option offers the greatest flexibility in that you can move around different applications and windows and your participants will see everything. Because of that, it does offer the least control on what you are sharing at a given moment.
  2. **Application Window **- You will see a list of applications currently running on your computer. Select the application you want to share.
  3. **Chrome Tab **- Choose a specific browser tab you want to share.
4. Click the **Share** button.
5. To share your audio, simply check the **Share audio** check box at the bottom-left corner of the screen sharing source menu.   
  
Please note: Microsoft Windows supports audio sharing for all screen share options mentioned above, while Apple Mac supports it only when you are sharing a browser tab (see 3c).
