Summary
Once you are in a skype call you can share your screen with other Skype users in the Skype meeting. All participants of the call will be able to see your screen once it is shared. This is useful if you are presenting content to others or conveying technical problems to help desk support. You may also choose to let participants take control of your desktop and can take back control at any time.
Notes
Please direct any issues to your supervisor or IS team
