Along with WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger remains one of the most loved messaging apps across platforms. Probably, the best part about the messaging app is a host of user-friendly features including screen sharing which comes in handy in various situations. Whether you wish to share a live view of your screen, shop together online, or help your buddy troubleshoot an issue, screen sharing has a role to play. If you are yet to try out this versatile feature, let me walk you through the quick process to share the screen in Facebook Messenger on desktop.

Do note that the number of participants is restricted depending on the service you are using. While a simple Messenger call allows screen sharing with up to 8 people at once, Messenger Rooms allow you to broadcast your screen with up to 16 people simultaneously.

  1. After the screen sharing has started, you can choose to keep the call in the background or navigate through the shared tabs/apps. In the end, tap on the “Stop Screen Sharing” option located at the bottom of the call window.

So, that’s the way you can make the most screen sharing in Facebook Messenger to stay connected with your loved ones or collaborate with your colleagues. In the backdrop of COVID-19, video-conferencing and screen sharing have become probably the most pivotal tools to connect, interact, or collaborate with people.
