• A Tab: Best for sharing content with audio, such as videos.

3. Select "Continue" to proceed with sharing your screen.

4. Your device will prompt you to start broadcasting. Tap "Allow" to begin sharing your screen.

5. Notification Bar: While sharing, a "stop sharing" notification will appear on your device. You can tap this notification to stop presenting or access additional controls.
