How to stop Zoom from automatically going full Screen when someone shares their screen
Contents
The Issue
Zoom window goes full screen everytime someone shares their screen during a meeting.
I have a very intentional placement of windows on the screen. So I can see my notes etc., so every time Zoom goes full screen, its bit of a disruption for my workflow.
After a few times, I looked for a way to stop this from happening and found it. See below for how I stopped the full screen take over with Zoom meetings.
A Solution
I have found a fix for that. This should work on Zoom For Desktop on Linux, Windows and possible Mac too.
-
Go to Settings (User Icon if Logged in > Settings)
-
Click “Share Screen” option on the left
Linux
- Un-check option of “Enter full screen when a participant shares screen”
Windows
-
Find the section “Window size when screen sharing”:
-
Select the Radio Button option of “Maintain current Size”
Mac ?
- Something like above, send me what you find and I will update, do not have access to a current macOS system with Zoom.
