    note The following information displays when you begin your desktop sharing:
    You are currently sharing your desktop with this room. By default, users can see your entire desktop. You may change sharing options such as how much users may view by right-clicking the desktop sharing icon in your system tray (desktop presentation image).

    You may stop sharing at any time by right-clicking the desktop sharing icon in your system tray, then selecting "Exit". You may also stop sharing by closing this window.

    Please note that viewers will by default be watching this presentation from a window the same size as the dotted box surrounding this text. Viewers may scroll to see your entire screen, but it may be helpful to reduce the size of the presentation beforehand so it will fit into the box. You may check your viewers' screen resolutions and adjust the size of this presentation from the Options tab. Note that you must apply that setting before starting the presentation.

    To give viewers the best view of your desktop, you may click the fullscreen icon (image) next to the Desktop Sharing Tab. Note that viewers cannot see or use chat while in fullscreen mode. To bring viewers out of fullscreen mode, you may click "Exit Fullscreen Modeimage" from the upper-left hand corner of the screen.

  6. Follow the information provided on the sharing window to display your desktop to your students.
