Stop Zoom from Automatically Going into Full-Screen Mode When Someone Shares Screen
By default, Zoom enters full screen whenever any of the persons you’re on a call uses the screen share feature. It will keep resizing itself to full screen, forcing you to see the meeting even when you want to do some other work in a separate window. If you want to get rid of this, all you need to do is tweak a simple setting in your Zoom application by following the steps given below. That’s it. Zoom will no longer switch to the full screen whenever a participant in the meeting decides to share their screen. Note that the steps are more or less similar for macOS. If you’re on Mac, just go to Zoom Preferences > Share Screen tab and untick the box next to “Enter full screen when a participant shares screen.” If you see that the option has been greyed out, it could be a corporate policy setting. You can either contact your IT admin or uninstall and re-install Zoom from the official website here. If you have dual screen monitors, you can use them with Zoom using this guide.
Wrapping Up
This was all about how you can stop Zoom from automatically going into full screen whenever someone shares their screen in the meeting. With the feature disabled, you can comfortably work on your computer while the meeting continues in the background.
