How to Share Your Screen During a Voice Call

Explaining something is ten times easier when the other person can see it. Yapie lets you share your screen in voice calls as well as video calls.

#Share your screen

1. Start or join a call. 2. Tap **Share screen**. 3. Choose what to share — a **browser tab**, an **app window** or your **entire screen**. 4. Everyone in the call now sees your screen. You see a small preview of what you're sharing. 5. Tap **Stop sharing** when you're done. You can share again any time.

#On phones

Screen sharing from mobile browsers depends on the browser and OS; desktop Chrome, Edge and Firefox support it fully. On a phone you can always **view** someone else's shared screen.

#Use cases

- **Tech support** for family: "Click the blue button on the right." - **Work reviews**: go through a spreadsheet or report together. - **Teaching**: walk through slides or a website. - **Shopping together**: compare products in real time.

#Share safely

- **Share a window or tab, not your whole screen**, so notifications and other apps stay private. - **Close private tabs** before sharing. - Turn on **Do Not Disturb** to stop pop-ups appearing mid-share. - Remember the other side could **record** what you show.

#Poor connection?

Use a voice call with screen sharing instead of video — it uses less bandwidth while still showing what matters. More in [call quality on slow internet](/blog/call-quality-slow-internet-tips).
