Solution if the screen sharing button is disabled

1. When another participant is already screen sharing
   
   • It is not possible for multiple participants to screenshare at the same time.
   • Ask the participant who is currently screen sharing to stop screen sharing.
2. When using tablets and mobile devices (iPad, Galaxy Tab, iPhone).
   
   • Screen sharing is not available on mobile devices. Please connect via a PC or laptop.
3. The host in the classroom declines your speaker request.
   
   • You should be a "presenter" to share your screen.
   • When you click the screenshare button, you can ask the host in the classroom to be the presenter. However, if no one is currently assigned as the presenter, you will automatically be changed to the presenter.
