Share Zoom it application

Hello All,

 

While presenting certain Programs in Skype for Business (Not whole Desktop), Am not able to find zoomit (Sysinternals tool) application to share.

 

While am sharing a specific spreadsheet or word doc program and i switch to zoomit.exe application screen turns blank/full black for the people on other side of the call. I suppose this is happening because zoomit.exe is not part of shared programs.

 

Is there an option to add zoomit.exe application in Skype for Business while sharing set of programs ?

  • Hi,
    If you want to use the ZoomIt application or the Magnifier in Windows you have to share your desktop, it won't work just sharing an application.

      Hello Linus,

       

      I don't use zoomit just for magnification but also for making cool presentations leveraging it's features.

       

      Is there a way to add this to list of program we could share ?

      • Hi, 

        Program sharing isn’t available for the applications below, but you can use desktop sharing instead:

         

        • Skype for Business

        • Skype for Business Recording Manager

        • File Explorer

        • Sticky Notes

        • Universal Windows Platform (UWP) applications

        • Windows Sidebar

         

        Also, you cannot a present a program that has user privileges higher than the privileges for Skype for Business, such as the Command Prompt.

        Program sharing is unavailable if you are conducting your meeting on a remote computer running Windows Vista or an older version of Windows Server 2008.

         

        I guess Zoomit is restriced from sharing of one of these reasons.
