SmartyMeet Screen sharing security
Hosts and meeting participants cannot see your screen without your permission or without you knowing. Upon joining a SmartyMeet meeting, the host and other participants cannot see your computer screen. They can only see your video and hear your audio if you do not choose to mute your microphone or turn your video off when joining a meeting.
In SmartyMeet meetings, the host and participants can screen share. If a host or participant shares their screen, only their screen is visible to all meeting participants. To share your screen or content with others, click or tap Share in your meeting controls. Only the user who wants to screen share has manual control over their own screen.
No, the host and other participants cannot open or engage with your applications or files on your desktop or mobile device when you share your screen. Only the user who wants to screen share has control over their own screen; other meeting participants and the host can only view what you choose to share on your screen.
