Q: Hello, regarding "Screen & document sharing (currently not available on Mobile Apps)" Can you please clarify
Hello, regarding "Screen & document sharing (currently not available on Mobile Apps)" Can you please clarify if this is not available as a viewer/attendee or if this specific to the host?
If its specific to the viewer/attendee would there be issues if they were to use a supported mobile browser?
My use case, I need to share presentations, videos and my websites/LMS with my students (I am hoping this platform can be a good alternative for Sessions).
Thank you in advance for your reply

Currently, screen sharing is not available on the iOS app. While you can host meetings from a mobile device using the Android app, we don’t recommend it.
Why not host on a mobile device?
1. No screen sharing on IOS
2. Less stable connection
3. Small screen limits visibility
4. In coming calls, disconnect or interfere with the meetings
5. Faster battery drain
Pros:
1. Convenient on the go
2. Useful for quick check-ins
We recommend using a desktop or laptop for the best experience, especially if you need to present or manage participants.
SouLPLUSThank you for your reply. I understand that it's not recommended that the host use the mobile application. My concern is if an attendee or viewer is watching from a mobile device using the mobile application, will they be able to see what I am sharing properly? If not, would the application work in a mobile browser? About 70% of my students join my classes from mobile devices.
Sorry for the confusion; they are not hosting the meeting, only attending. They will see whatever you display. You can join the meeting on a mobile device; screen sharing has nothing to do with joining the meeting.
