How to Share Your iPad Screen on Zoom

Let me show you how to share your iPad Screen on Zoom so you can use any apps you have to provide online therapy with the Zoom Video Communications platform.

I have put a video tutorial together for you on how to do this, but if you prefer to read it instead, continue to do so below the video.

If you want to share your iPad screen on Google Meet, see this tutorial.

Step 1

Start your meeting.


Step 2

On the bottom navigation bar, click “Share Screen”.

It will bring up a few options for you and you’re going to click “iPhone/iPad via Airplay”.

Then click “Share”. After you do that, some instructions will pop up on the screen.


Step 3

Grab your iPhone or iPad and open the control center.

If you’re on an iPad that is running iOS 12 or newer, you’ll see the wifi icon and battery icon in the top right corner, swipe down to reveal the control center.

If you’re iPad is running iOS 11 or earlier or you’re on your iPhone swipe up from the bottom of the screen.


Step 4

Tap Screen Mirroring and you’ll see a listing comes up with the word “Zoom” and the name of your computer.

Tap that listing and it will connect your device to Zoom.

Now when you provide online therapy, you can use any apps you have on your iPad because  your clients will be able to see everything on your iPad screen.

That's all there is to it!

Keep in mind, this is just screen mirroring so your client will not be able to control your iPad screen, Zoom is simply displaying your iPad screen from your device for them see.

You can, of course, still give your client control and let them draw on it.
